Credit risk is an important issue in many finance areas, such as the determination of cost of capital, the valuation of … corporate bonds and pricing of credit derivatives. Credit risk has also been a cause and consequence of the current financial … crisis. Thus, methods for measuring credit risk, default probabilities, and recoveries have caught more and more attention in …

This paper uses a frequency domain approach to gain insight into the correlation between survey indicators and year … of the correlation between survey indicators and year-on-year GDP growth at the different frequencies to explain their … overall correlation. We show that survey indicators, similar to year-on-year GDP growth, do not perfectly reflect business …

We study the implications of the value at risk concept for the bank's optimum amount of equity capital under credit … risk. The market value of loans is risky and lognormally distributed. We show that the required equity capital depends upon …

The paper proposes a new method to estimate correlation of account level Basle II Loss Given Default (LGD). The … correlation determines the probability distribution of portfolio level LGD in the context of a copula model which is used to … we apply the maximum likelihood method to estimate the best correlation parameter. The method is applied and analyzed on …

We develop Bayesian techniques for estimation and model comparison in a novel Generalised Stochastic Unit Root (GSTUR …
