Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Entropy is a measure of self-information which is used to quantify information losses. Entropy was developed in thermodynamics, but is also used to compare probabilities based on their deviating information content. Corresponding model uncertainty is of particular interest and importance in stochastic programming and its applications like mathematical finance, as complete information is not accessible or manageable in general. This paper extends and generalizes the Entropic Value-at-Risk by involving Renyi entropies. We provide explicit relations among different entropic risk measures, we elaborate their dual representations and present their relations explicitly. We consider the largest spaces which allow studying the impact of information in detail and it is demonstrated that these do not depend on the information loss. The dual norms and Hahn-Banach functionals are characterized explicitly. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
