    We investigate the probability equivalent level of Value at Risk and nthn^{\mathrm{th}}-order Expected Shortfall (called PELVE_n), which can be considered as a variant of the notion of the probability equivalent level of Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall (called PELVE) due to Li and Wang (2022). We study the finiteness, uniqueness and several properties of PELVE_n, we calculate PELVE_n of some notable distributions, PELVE_2 of a random variable having generalized Pareto excess distribution, and we describe the asymptotic behaviour of PELVE_2 of regularly varying distributions as the level tends to 00. Some properties of nthn^{\mathrm{th}}-order Expected Shortfall are also investigated. Among others, it turns out that the Gini Shortfall at some level p[0,1)p\in[0,1) corresponding to a (loading) parameter λ0\lambda\geq 0 is the linear combination of the Expected Shortfall at level pp and the 2nd2^{\mathrm{nd}}-order Expected Shortfall at level pp with coefficients 12λ1-2\lambda and 2λ2\lambda, respectively.Comment: 45 page
