  • Rolling 24 month expected shartfall and Var on panel data

    Hi,

    I have a large panel data set with securities (id) and time (months). I want to calculate expected shortfall at 5% significance level on a rolling 24 month basis. So approximately calculating the average of two worst returns in a rolling 24 month period for each id.

    Trying to find out if I can use rangestat to do this exercise because I have over a million observations.

    Any help/suggestions is much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    john

    As often flagged here not many of the most active members here have financial data within their comfort zone.

    But the answer is certainly yes; you can do that with rangestat (SSC, as you are asked to explain; FAQ Advice #12)

    It is not a wired-in statistic, so you need to write your own Mata code.

    Here is my guess at what you want because I don't see a precise recipe, just what is supposedly an approximation.

    Without example data, I reached for a convenient panel dataset.


    Code:
    webuse grunfeld , clear
    gen ln_invest = ln(invest)
    
    mata:  
    mata clear
    real rowvector prettybad(real colvector X) {
        X = sort(X, 1)
        return(rows(X) == 1 ? X[1] : (X[1] + X[2])/2)
    }
    end
    
    rangestat (prettybad) ln_invest, interval(year -4 0) by(company)
    
    list year *invest prettybad if company == 1

      Hi Nick,

      Thanks, this is very helpful. I am including some sample data for illustration. ex_ret is the monthly return of the securities.

      Code:
      * Example generated by -dataex-. To install: ssc install dataex
      clear

        One follow up question. If I want to calculate expected shortfall for a bunch of factor returns for e.g. Factors k1 to K10 with similar monthly time series returns as ex_ret, is there a way to do this at one go.

        Appreciate any help/suggestions.

        Best,
        john.

          Yes indeed. It's explicit in the help and examples for rangestat that several results can be calculated in one call, and that theme is repeated in many examples here.

            Thanks Nick. Another follow up question. I am now trying to replicate my analysis for expanding window ES and VAR @5% confidence interval (starting with 24 months and increasing by one month increment based on data available for each id).

            Any help/suggestion is much appreciated.

            Best,
            John.

              Hello, I want to estimate the marginal expected shortfall, could you please help me out?
