            Managing Risk in Multi-Asset Class, Multimarket Central Counterparties: 
            The CORE Approach 
            Multi-asset class, multimarket central counterparties (CCPs) 
            are becoming less uncommon as a result of merges between specialized 
            (single-asset class, single market) CCPs and market demands for more 
            capital efficiency. Yet, traditional CCP risk management models often 
            lack the necessary sophistication to estimate potential losses relative 
            to the closeout process of a defaulter's portfolio in a multi-asset 
            class, multimarket environment. As a result, multi-asset class, multimarket 
            CCPs usually rely upon a simplied silo approach for calculating risk 
            that, not only fails to deliver efficiency, but can also increase 
            systemic risk. The CORE (Closeout Risk Evaluation) approach, on the 
            other hand, provides the conceptual and mathematical tools necessary 
            for robust and efficient central counterparty risk evaluation in multi-asset 
            class and multimarket environments, acknowledging the portfolio dynamics 
            involved in the closeout process, as well as important "real 
            life" market frictions.

            Forecasting generalized quantiles of electricity demand: A functional 
            data approach 
            Electricity load forecasts are in various ways valuable 
            for the operation of utilities. However, for a sustainable risk management 
            of utility operators not only a forecast 
            of expected demand, but also knowledge about the uncertainty and dispersion 
            of 
            future load plays an important role. The aim of our research is to 
            model and forecast generalized quantiles of electricity demand, which, 
            in contrast to forecasts of the conditional mean, yield a whole picture 
            of the distribution of electricity demand. We apply methods from functional 
            data analysis to model dynamics of daily generalized quantile curves. 
            Taking temporal dependence between curves into account allows us to 
            conduct short term forecasts at an intraday resolution using multivariate 
            time-series techniques.
