We formulate the optimal balance sheet management problem as a linear program and study it using a duality approach. In addition to helping to determine the optimal balance sheet, the dual problem also provides us the market prices of interest rate risk and credit risk. Our methodology is used...

We propose a dynamic framework which encompasses the main risks in balance sheets of banks in an integrated fashion. Our contributions are fourfold: 1) solving a simple one-period model that describes the optimal bank policy under credit risk; 2) estimating the long-term stochastic processes...
