Forecasting Portfolio Risk Estimation by Using Garch And Var Methods

Risk management or risk predicting are closely related with the market volatility which affect the return of portfolio estimation. Portfolio managers around the world concerned with risk estimation because portfolio risk management is part of their decision-making process.  According to Hull (2006), VaR is widely used by fund managers “to provide a single number summarizing the total risk in a portfolio of financial assets.”  Motivates from this, we conducted an analysis to compare the effectiveness of VaR analysis and GARCH method in forecasting risk estimation.  Risk manager can used the best methods in reducing their customers risk volatility and rank the risk level. Keywords: Forecasting, Value at Risk, GARCH, Portfolio estimation, Risk

Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment

Multiple Criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches are required for complex issue resolution. However, it is debatable whether MCDMs applicability will be able to stay within the analytical possibilities for dealing with divorce issues. As a result, one of the newly introduced MCDMs Weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS), is chosen for evaluation. Therefore, this study examined 388 documents from archive of the Scopus database. To evaluate the diversity of the technique's application, the data analysis looked at a few bibliometrics measures. So, the publishing hosts and their influence patterns are displayed, the vast majority of the documents were in the fields of engineering and computer science. According to the findings, the WASPAS can deal with variety of problem-solving scenarios. Hence, this work is summed up with the aim of lowering uncertainty among decision-makers and scholars

Wireless Technology to Handle Marketing Risks

Wireless market is the selling and buying of goods or services over the Internet, Therefore E-commerce is a modern business methodology that addresses the needs of organizations, merchants, and consumers to cut costs while improving the quality of goods and services and increasing the speed of service delivery. The technology, the business models, and the value chain relationships are new and in many ways different from traditional business environments. The uncertainty concerns the character and degree of those differences. In this paper we will address these risks and address based on three points: first, types of risks which are presented in e-commerce. Second, similarities and differences between e-commerce risks and the risks in other business environments. Finally, methodologies that can be used to control these risks. The proposed framework provides an overview of what is happening in the wireless domain to provide marketers, managers and market researchers with a realistic view of using and predicting the wireless technology market. The proposed methodology can develop a security and risk management policy, which identifies and analyses risks, and the potential impact that they will have on the operations

Influence of readiness measures on planning tourism digital shift

Industrial revolution 4.0 is pushing industries toward digitalization including tourism. Although almost all modes of tourism are currently declining as a result of the new COVID-19 pandemic, information and technology is expected to play a role not just during, but also after, the crisis. As a result, the aim of this letter is to formulate a strategic framework for readiness measures for this digitalization transition and see the dependency of the defined measures in tourism industry. Hence, a PROMETEE-based program was used to demonstrate that the top ready clusters for digital tours were not sensitive to the weights of specified readiness measures. This analysis can be used to direct transition planning for top ready tourism cluster

Continuous professional development programmes for school principals in the 21st century: lessons learned from educational leadership practices

Continuous professional development (CPD) is important for educational leaders to improve institutional performance and students’ learning outcomes. Yet, organizing effective professional development programmes are often more complex than we might assume. The current study aims to explore the challenges of managing CPD for high school principals in Indonesia. Six high school principals and three officers of the Ministry of Education and Cultures (MoEC) were interviewed. Qualitative data from the interviews were analyzed and coded thematically using ATLAS.ti. Several themes and main points emerged from the transcripts of interviews. The findings revealed some challenges in managing CPD programmes at schools. They include resistance to change, technicality and workload, almost zero follow-ups, unprofessional recruitment, and unclear training syllabus. Among the suggestions to improve the CPD programmes are building personal approaches, developing professional skills, establishing a professional recruitment system, making continuous training programmes, and optimizing school organizations. This study can be used as an additional guide to implement effective CPD and can be a platform to improve the professional development of educational leaders
