Abstract

This paper bridges the gap in trading risk management literatures, and particularly from the perspective of emerging and illiquid markets. We find that under certain trading strategies, such as short-selling of stocks, the sensitivity of L-VaR statistics are rather critical to the selected internal asset liquidity model in addition to the degree of correlation factors among trading assets.
