This work explores the common attributes of different types of cyber risk with a view to better understanding the key attributes that contribute to each type of cyber risk category. In doing so we explore event studies on a range of different market sectors, different countries, different...

In this manuscript we explore a range of perspectives being adopted by industry and regulators in order to classify cyber crime or cyber risk loss processes. The purpose of this is to better understand and discuss the emerging perspectives on this class of risk process in order to inform...

We set the context for capital approximation within the framework of the Basel II/III regulatory capital accords. This is particularly topical as the Basel III accord is shortly due to take effect. In this regard, we provide a summary of the role of capital adequacy in the new accord,...

The management of operational risk in the banking industry has undergone significant changes over the last decade due to substantial changes in operational risk environment. Globalization, deregulation, the use of complex financial products and changes in information technology have resulted...

Under the Basel II standards, the Operational Risk (OpRisk) advanced measurement approach is not prescriptive regarding the class of statistical model utilised to undertake capital estimation. It has however become well accepted to utlise a Loss Distributional Approach (LDA) paradigm to model...

Under the Basel II standards, the Operational Risk (OpRisk) advanced measurement approach allows a provision for reduction of capital as a result of insurance mitigation of up to 20%. This paper studies different insurance policies in the context of capital reduction for a range of extreme loss...

The intention of this paper is to analyse the mean square error of prediction (MSEP) under the distribution-free chain ladder (DFCL) claims reserving method. We compare the estimation obtained from the classical bootstrap method with the one obtained from a Bayesian bootstrap. To achieve this in...

In this study we develop a multi-factor extension of the family of Lee-Carter stochastic mortality models. We build upon the time, period and cohort stochastic model structure to extend it to include exogenous observable demographic features that can be used as additional factors to improve...

Cohort effects are important factors in determining the evolution of human mortality for certain countries. Extensions of dynamic mortality models with cohort features have been proposed in the literature to account for these factors under the generalised linear modelling framework. In this...
