摘要：We incorporate a notion of risk aversion favoring prudent decisions from financial institutions into regulatory capital calculation principles. In the context of Basel II, III as well as Solvency II, regulatory capital calculation is carried out through the tools of monetary risk measures. The notion of risk aversion that we focus on has four equivalent formulations: through consistency with second-order stochastic dominance, or with conditional expectations, or with portfolio diversification, and finally through expected social impact. The class of monetary risk measures representing this notion of risk aversion is referred to as consistent risk measures. We characterize the class of consistent risk measures by establishing an Expected Shortfall-based representation. The results obtained suggest that for the determination of regulatory capital, every regulator in favor of risk-averse financial decisions is essentially using a combination of Expected Shortfalls up to some adjustments. This reveals important advantages of the Expected Shortfall for prudent regulation as compared to the Value-at-Risk, a topic very much under discussion in Basel III. This is based on a joint work with Ruodu Wang.
