%0 Journal Article %T Comparación empírica de modelos de valor en riesgo (VAR) para un portafolio compuesto por el peso colombiano, el real brasilero y el peso mexicano %D 2011 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10906/67002 %X The purpose of this paper is to evaluate different methods to estimate VaR for a portfolio of Colombian peso, Brazilian real and Mexican peso. The evaluation was done thru the empirical comparison of the following methods: Historical Simulation, Constant Volatility, EWMA, and three multivariate GARCH models: Diagonal VECH, Constant Conditional Correlation and Diagonal BEKK. Backtesting proved that the constant volatility model does not offer the coverage needed, but MGARCH model, Diagonal BEKK, outperformed the other models. %K Producción intelectual registrada - Universidad Icesi %K RIESGO FINANCIERO %K RIESGO (FINANZAS) %K VAR (VALOR EN RIESGO) %K TASA DE CAMBIO %K MERCADO BURSATIL %K MEDICIÓN DE RIESGO %K GARCH %K BACKTESTING %K Economía %K Economics %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
