Elicitable distortion risk measures: A concise proof

Abstract

Elicitability has recently been discussed as a desirable property for risk measures. Kou and Peng (2014) showed that an elicitable distortion risk measure is either a Value-at-Risk or the mean. We give a concise alternative proof of this result, and discuss the conflict between comonotonic additivity and elicitability.
