In the field of financial risk measurement, Asymmetric Laplace (AL) laws are used. The assumption of normalcy is used in traditional approaches for calculating financial risk. Asymmetric Laplace distribution, on the other hand, reveals the properties of empirical financial data sets much better than the normal model by leptokurtosis and skewness. According to recent financial data research, the regularity assumption is frequently broken. As a result, Asymmetric Laplace laws offer a simple, creative, and useful option to normal distributions when it comes to modeling financial data. We here engage AL distribution to explore specific formulas for the two commonly used risk measures, Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR). The currency exchange rates data are used to and worked out to illustrate the proposed methodologies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
