This paper analyzes and quantifies the idea of model risk in the environment of internal model building. We define various types of model risk including estimation risk, model risk in distribution and model risk in functional form. By the quantification of these concepts we analyze the impact of...

Als Teil des operationellen Risikos stellt das Modellrisiko eine wichtige Komponente für die Risikoermittlung bei Finanzinstitutionen dar. Da letztere z.B. bei der Tarifierung und Bepreisung von Derivaten bzw. Portfolien oder bei der Markt- und Kreditrisikoberechnung auf stochastische Modelle...

Within an internal model the Economic Scenario Generator (ESG) is an important component. In orderto get a regulatory approval of an internal model it is required that the implemented models (must be) passeda rigorous validation process, see Ceiops [2009].In this paper we focus on the particular...

Model risk as part of the operational risk is a serious problem for financial institutions.As the pricing of derivatives as well as the computation of the marketor credit risk of an institution depend on statistical models the application of awrong model can lead to a serious over- or...

Model risk as part of the operational risk is a serious problem for financial institutions. As the pricing of derivatives as well as the computation of the market or credit risk of an institution depend on statistical models the application of a wrong model can lead to a serious over- or...

The Value-at-Risk calculation reduces the dimensionality of the risk factor space. The main reasons for such simplifications are, e.g., technical efficiency, the logic and statistical appropriateness of the model. In Chapter 2 we present three simple mappings: the mapping on the market index,...
