We examine the quantification of operational risk for banks. We adopt a financial-economics approach and interpret … operational risk management as a means of optimizing the profitability of an institution along its value chain. We start by defining … operational risk and then propose a framework to model risk mitigation through the bank’s value chain over time. Using analytical …

for corporate debt, credit default swaps and collateralized debt obligations by decomposing the risk structure arisingfrom …

In this paper, we show that coherent upper and lower previsions as well as coherent risk measures are only meaningful … extend coherence to all possible situations of initial wealth. Since a coherent risk measure is the negative of a coherent … lower prevision, all results presented in this paper can easily be reformulated in terms of risk measures. Finally, we …

risk capital needed for a portfolio of random activities should be allocated to its components. The well known allocation … model with expected shortfall as corresponding risk value is a prominent member of this class. Our contribution values also …

Economic cycles are the key credit portfolio risk driver and they are autocorrelated over time. We then show that it is … economically meaningful to define risk for credit portfolios in a multi period setup. Since one period expected shortfall fails to … measure risk adequately in a multi period context, we then extend the coherent expected shortfall to time-conditional expected …
