Details

In this ground-breaking 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.

With default rates increasing in the current high financial contagion, a correct measurement of loss given default (LGD) and its relationship with PD becomes even more crucial.

Recovery Risk 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.

As banks and other financial institutions are struggling to pick up the backlog in implementing sound LGD estimation systems they will welcome a contribution that helps to bridge the gap between some new and advanced techniques and their current corporate culture on recovery risk.

This book explains that a thorough understanding of the systematic dimension of recovery risk (ie the ?downturn LGD’) is key to an appropriate measurement and management of credit risk. An accurate estimation of LGD can tremendously improve the way a financial institution measures credit risk.

All banks adopting Basel Compliant rating systems will have to estimate LGD, at least for their retail portfolios. Further more the book will also introduce the readers to the requirements that the New Basel Accord poses to LGD estimation, helping them to transform research results into operational tools for the setup of Basel-compliant rating systems.

This book will provide insights for: Risk Managers, Credit Officers, Quants, Professors, Accountants, Consultants, Regulators, Investment Managers and Asset Managers.

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.
