  29. International Finance VaR, Value at Risk In financial mathematics and financial risk management, Value at Risk (VaR) is a widely used measure of the risk of loss on a specific portfolio of financial assets. For a given portfolio, probability and time horizon, VaR is defined as a threshold value such that the probability that the mark-to-market loss on the portfolio over the given time horizon exceeds this value (assuming normal markets and no trading in the portfolio) is the given probability level.

  30. International Finance CoVar (Tobias Adrian and Markus K. Brunnermeier) We define CoVaR as the value at risk (VaR) of financial institutions conditional on other institutions being in distress. The increase of CoVaR relative to VaR measures spillover risk among institutions. We estimate CoVaR using quantile regressions and document significant CoVaR increases among financial institutions. We identify six risk factors that allow institutions to offload tail risk and show that such hedging reduces the wedge between CoVaR and VaR. We argue that financial institutions should report CoVaR in addition to VaR, and we draw implications for risk management, regulation, and systemic risk. We define co-expected shortfall as a sum of CoVaRs. http://www.newyorkfed.org/research/staff_reports/sr348.html

  31. International Finance Repo (Repurchase Agreement) A Repurchase agreement (also known as a repo or Sale and Repurchase Agreement) allows a borrower to use a financial security as collateral for a cash loan at a fixed rate of interest. In a repo, the borrower agrees to sell immediately a security to a lender and also agrees to buy the same security from the lender at a fixed price at some later date. A repo is equivalent to a cash transaction combined with a forward contract.

  32. International Finance Repo (Repurchase Agreement, continued) The cash transaction results in transfer of money to the borrower in exchange for legal transfer of the security to the lender, while the forward contract ensures repayment of the loan to the lender and return of the collateral of the borrower. The difference between the forward price and the spot price is the interest on the loan while the settlement date of the forward contract is the maturity date of the loan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repurchase_agreement

  33. International Finance TED Spread The TED spread is the difference between the interest rates on interbank loans and short-term U.S. government debt ("T-bills"). TED spread is calculated as the difference between the three-month T-bill interest rate and three-month LIBOR. The TED spread is an indicator of perceived credit risk in the general economy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TED_spread
