Lambda R{\'e}nyi entropic value-at-risk
Abstract
This paper introduces the Lambda extension of the R\'{e}nyi entropic value-at-risk (-EVaR), a novel family of risk measures that unifies the flexible confidence level structure of the -framework with the higher-moment sensitivity of EVaR. We define -EVaR, establish its foundational properties including monotonicity, cash subadditivity, and quasi-convexity, and provide a complete axiomatic characterization showing that convexity, concavity in mixtures and cash additivity hold only when is constant. A dual representation and an extended Rockafellar-Uryasev-type formula are derived, enabling efficient computation. We further analyze the worst-case behavior of -EVaR under Wasserstein and mean-variance uncertainty, obtaining closed-form expressions that reveal its robustness properties. The proposed measure bridges the gap between adaptive risk tolerance and moment-sensitive risk assessment, offering a versatile tool for modern risk management.
