Credit Risk Management In and Out of the Financial Crisis: New Approaches to Value at Risk and Other Paradigms, 3rd Edition

Credit Risk Measurement In and Out of the Financial Crisis

A newly revised edition of a classic work on credit risk measurement

Credit Risk Measurement In and Out of the Financial Crisis dissects the 2007–2008 credit crisis and provides solutions for professionals looking to better manage risk through modeling and new technology.

In this update to their well-received Credit Risk Measurement: New Approaches to Value at Risk and Other Paradigms, authors Anthony Saunders and Linda Allen address all the implications of new regulations and how the new rules will change everyday activity in the finance industry. They provide techniques for modeling—credit scoring, structural default prediction models, and reduced form models—while offering sound advice for stress testing credit risk models. They also examine credit derivatives—a key factor in the global financial crisis of 2007–2009—and discuss mechanisms for measuring and managing their risk exposures. Perhaps most importantly, they discuss proposals for restructuring the financial system so as to prevent the recurrence of similar crises in the future.

Understanding credit risk measurement is now more important than ever. Credit Risk Measurement In and Out of the Financial Crisis will solidify your knowledge of this dynamic discipline.
