Assuming a risk-neutral bank and assuming household utility to be exponential, we show how under information symmetry …

How can risk of a company be allocated to its divisions and attributed to risk factors? The Euler principle allows for … an economically justified allocation of risk to different divisions. We introduce a method that generalizes the Euler … principle to attribute risk to its driving factors when these factors affect losses in a nonlinear way. The method splits loss …
