We put forward a Merton-type multi-factor portfolio model for assessing banks’ contributions to systemic risk. This model accounts for the major drivers of banks’ systemic relevance: size, default risk and correlation of banks’ assets as a proxy for interconnectedness. We measure systemic...

A model-based assessment of credit risk is subject to both specification and calibration errors. Focusing on a well known credit risk model, we propose a methodology for quantifying the relative importance of alternative sources of such errors and apply this methodology to a large data set. We...

Revised standards for capital requirements for market risks in a bank's trading book have been issued as a result of the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book. Under the new standards, default risk needs to be measured and capitalized through a dedicated Default Risk Charge (DRC). While...

Choosing a proper external risk measure is of great regulatory importance, as exemplified in the Basel II and Basel III Accord which use Value-at-Risk (VaR) with scenario analysis as the risk measures for setting capital requirements. We argue a good external risk measure should be robust with...

As observed in the financial crisis, CDS spreads tend to increase simutaneously as a reaction to common shocks. Focusing on the spillover effects triggered by extreme events, we propose a credit risk analysis tool by applying credit default swap spread returns to the concept of 4CoVaR suggested...

, it is critical that these calculations be carried out under the real world measure, not the risk neutral measure. To help … rectify the situation, we show how to exploit measure changes to efficiently compute real world exposures in a risk neutral … framework, even when there is no change of measure from the risk neutral measure to the real world measure. We also develop a …
