How to calculate the distortion function for EVaR?

161 Views Asked by At

As defined in Entropic Value-at-Risk: A New Coherent Risk Measure (reference) by A.Ahmadi-Javid, the entropic value-at-risk (EVaR) of $x\in L_{M^{+}}$ with confidence level $1-\alpha$ is: $$EVaR_{1-\alpha}(X) := \inf_{z>0}\left\{z^{-1}\ln\left(\frac{M_{X}}{\alpha}\right)\right\}$$ where $M_X$ is the moment generating function.

I was wondering can EVaR fit in the framework of distortion risk measures? And in that case how to calculate the distortion function for EVaR?

You may find the answer based on the Kusuoka representation of the EV@R given in the following papers:

See the equivalent form of this representation in Remark 4.16 of the second paper.
