%0 Journal Article %T Valor en riesgo : evaluación del desempeño de diferentes metodologías para 5 países latinoamericanos %J ESTUDIOS GERENCIALES;Vol. 29 No. 126 Enero/Marzo 2013 %D 2013 %@ 01235923 %U http://www.icesi.edu.co/revistas/index.php/estudios_gerenciales/article/view/1597 %X This paper evaluates the performance of 20 different methods (parametric, and semi-parametric, and nonparametric), as well as the historical simulation method, to estimate the next-trading-day value-at risk (VaR) of a representative portfolio for 5 different Latin American countries (Argentina, Brasil, Colombia and Peru). We found that the non-parametric (i.e. historic simulation), and the semi-parametric methods were the best way to estimate the risk among the twenty different methods evaluated for all the countries in the sample. %K Producción intelectual registrada - Universidad Icesi %K Economía %K Valor %K Riesgo %K América Latina %K VALUE-AT-RISK %K BACK-TEST ING %K Economía %K Econometría %K Economics %K Econometrics models %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
