%0 Journal Article %T Valor en Riesgo: Evaluación del desempeño de diferentes metodologías para 7 países latinoamericanos %D 2006 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10906/65251 %X This paper evaluates the performance of different parametric and semiparametric methods, as well as the historical simulation method, to estimate the nexttrading- day VaR of 7 representative portfolios for 7 different Latin American countries. It is found that there is not a single model that outperforms the others. For a 95% confident level, parametric models with EWMA and TGARCH specification to update the volatility outperforms the others. On the other hand, those models over-estimate the “true” VaR for a 99% confidence level. %K Negocios y management %K VAR (Valor en riesgo) %K Metodologías %K América Latina %K Riesgo (Economía) %K Simulación histórica %K Valor (Economía) %K Economics %K Business %K Economía %K Econometría %K Economics %K Econometrics models %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
