The Conditional Value-at-Risk (CoVaR) has been proposed by Adrian and Brunnermeier (Am Econ Rev 106:1705–1741, 2016) to measure the impact of a company in distress on the Value-at-Risk (VaR) of the financial system. We propose an extension of the CoVaR, that is, the Conditional Quantile-Located VaR (QL-CoVaR), that better deals with tail events, when spillover effects impact the stability of the entire system. In fact, the QL-CoVaR is estimated by assuming that the financial system and the individual companies simultaneously lie in the left tails of their distributions.

Abstract
The Conditional Value-at-Risk (CoVaR) has been proposed by Adrian and Brunnermeier (Am Econ Rev 106:1705–1741, 2016) to measure the impact of a company in distress on the Value-at-Risk (VaR) of the financial system. We propose an extension of the CoVaR, that is, the Conditional Quantile-Located VaR (QL-CoVaR), that better deals with tail events, when spillover effects impact the stability of the entire system. In fact, the QL-CoVaR is estimated by assuming that the financial system and the individual companies simultaneously lie in the left tails of their distributions.File in questo prodotto:
