Suggested foundations for risk measurement and stress and financial time series. Specialist prerequisites vary by paper.

Before you read

  1. Random Variables and Distributions

    Represent losses as a distribution rather than one forecast.

  2. Expected Shortfall and Other Tail Risk Measures

    Distinguish a loss quantile from the average loss in the tail.

  3. Stationarity and Unit Roots

    Check whether a relationship can be estimated consistently over time.

  4. Linear Regression

    Read the fitted relationship and its residuals.

Go further

  1. VaR Estimation in Practice: Variance-Covariance, Historical Simulation, Monte Carlo

    Compare risk estimators and their assumptions.

  2. Backtesting VaR and ES: Coverage Tests and Model Validation

    Check forecasts against realised losses.

  3. Cointegration and Error Correction

    Study long-run relationships without confusing them with correlation.
