Empirical Analysis of Joint Quantile and Expected Shortfall Regression Backtests

In this work, we look into the practical applicability of three joint quantile and expected shortfall regression backtests. The strict, auxiliary, and intercept ESR backtests are applied to the historical log returns of the OMX Stockholm 30 market-weight price index. We estimate the conditional variance using GARCH models for various rolling window lengths and refitting frequencies. We are particularly interested in the rejection rates of the one-sided intercept ESR backtest as it is comparable to the current standard of backtests. The one-sided test is found to perform well when the conditional variance is estimated by either the GARCH(1,1), GJR-GARCH(1,1), or EGARCH(1,1) coupled with student’s t-innovation residuals and a rolling window size of 1000 days.
