Quantitative Models for Operational Risk: Extremes, Dependence and Aggregation
نویسنده
چکیده
Due to the new regulatory guidelines known as Basel II for banking and Solvency 2 for insurance, the financial industry is looking for qualitative approaches to and quantitative models for operational risk. Whereas a full quantitative approach may never be achieved, in this paper we present some techniques from probability and statistics which no doubt will prove useful in any quantitative modelling environment. The techniques discussed are advanced peaks over threshold modelling, the construction of dependent loss processes and the establishment of bounds for risk measures under partial information, and can be applied to other areas of quantitative risk management. JEL classification: C.14; G.10; G.21

1 Extremes in operational risk management
Operational risk is defined as a consequence of critical contingencies most of which are quantitative in nature and many questions regarding economic capital allocation for operational risk continue to be open. Existing quantitative models that compute the value at risk for market and credit risk do not take into account operational risk. They also make various assumptions about ’normality’ and...

متن کاملRisk Aggregation
Quantitative Risk Management (QRM) standardly concerns a vector of one-period profit-and-loss random variables X = (X1, . . . ,Xd) defined on some probability space (Ω ,F,P). Risk Aggregation concerns the study of the aggregate financial position Ψ (X), for some measurable function Ψ : Rd → R. Under the terms of the New Basel Capital Accord (Basel II), internationally active banks are required ...
متن کاملRisk Management in Oil Market: A Comparison between Multivariate GARCH Models and Copula-based Models
H igh price volatility and the risk are the main features of commodity markets. One way to reduce this risk is to apply the hedging policy by future contracts. In this regard, in this paper, we will calculate the optimal hedging ratios for OPEC oil. In this study, besides the multivariate GARCH models, for the first time we use conditional copula models for modelling dependence struc...
متن کاملThermodynamic Characterization of the Aggregation Phenomena of SafranineT by Spectral Titration and Chemometric Analysis
The dimerization constants of Safranine T have been determined by studying the dependence of its absorption spectra on the temperature in the range 30–70 ◦C at different total concentrations of Safranine T (1.03×10−5, 1.44×10−5 and 1.73×10−5 M). The monomer–dimer equilibrium of Safranine T has been determined by applying MCR-ALS method on the absorpti...
