概要 This article shows that value-at-risk (VaR), the most popular risk measure in financial practice, has a considerable positive bias when used for a portfolio with fat-tail distribution. The bias increases with higher confidence level, heavier tails, and smaller sample size. Also, the Harell-Davis quantile estimator and its simulation counterpart, called the bootstrap estimator, tend to have more significant positive bias for fat-tail distributions.
