assessment of operational risk put forward by the Basel II Accord. The methodology relies on an integrated procedure for the … all business lines and event types. In a second phase, our models are used to estimate the effects of operational risk … management actions on bank profitability, through a measure of RAROC adapted to operational risk. The results suggest that …

The incremental risk charge (IRC) is a new regulatory requirement from the Basel Committee in response to the recent … generated. The second Monte Carlo simulation is the random draws based on the constant level of risk assumption. It convolutes …

regulatory equity and the increasing reliance on banks’ internal risk models for the determination of risk weights. The first … trend has been reversed with the regulatory reforms following the financial crisis. Internal risk models will still play a … central role. The rest of the paper focuses on the problems with the use of internal risk models for regulatory purposes. The …

We show that banks' risk exposure in one asset category affects how they report regulatory risk weights for another … asset category. Specifically, banks report lower credit risk weights for their loan portfolio when they face higher risk … constraints. Our results suggest the existence of incentive spillovers across different risk categories. We relate this behavior …

Although we broadly think this approach is the more effective route to …

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 respect to model misspecification and small changes in the data. A new …
