Stressed VAR contains jump/tail effects using fat-tail Gaussian volatilities, stressed correlations that model turbulent market collective behavior, and a high confidence level. Estimates can be included for liquidity penalties, idiosyncratic risks, and time scales roughly incorporating dynamic trading effects. The presentation includes parameter estimation and application as well as theory. The presentation also briefly discusses the Volatility of Component VAR. ---------- © 2008 Jan W. Dash.
