We propose a numerical method for risk evaluation defined by a backward stochastic differential equation. Using dual representation of the risk measure, we convert the risk evaluation to a simple stochastic control problem where the control is a certain Radon-Nikodym derivative process. By exploring the maximum principle, we show that a piecewise-constant dual control provides a good approximation on a short interval. A dynamic programming algorithm extends the approximation to a finite time horizon. Finally, we illustrate the application of the procedure to financial risk management in conjunction with nested simulation and on a multidimensional portfolio valuation problem.
Keywords: Dynamic risk measures, forward–backward stochastic differential equations, stochastic maximum principle, financial risk management
