Abstract

We consider the skewed-T distribution defined as a location-scale normal mixture. Analytical formulas for its value-at-risk and average value-at-risk are derived. High-accuracy approximations are developed and numerically tested.

Keywords: skewed-T distribution, value-at-risk, average value-at-risk, conditional value-at-risk

JEL Classification: C16, G32
