THE NEXT CHALLENGE IN CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
In this ground breaking new title, Risk Books brings together three prominent editors
to provide a timely reference text on loss given default (LGD) measurement and management
and the requirements of the Basel II Capital Accord.
The measurement of LGD the share of an exposure that is actually lost when a
borrower defaults is a critical area of the science of credit analysis. Topics
covered include:
- Using multivariate models for the estimation of LGD
- Exploring the links between LGD and default risk
- Providing a Basel II compliant framework for LGD estimation
- Helping you to transform research results into operational tools for setting up Basel II
compliant rating systems
- Full accounts of the latest developments in the field of LGD analysis
- Includes a full summary of results of academic research in LGD measurement over the past
10 years, including the latest research findings from the main empirical and theoretical
academics.
