the main idea of this paper is to study the dependence between the probability of default and the recovery rate on credit portfolio and to seek empirically this relationship. we examine the dependence between pd and rr by theoretical approach. for the empirically methodology, we use the bootstrapped quantile regression and the simultaneous quantile regression. these methods allow to determinate...

background: tuberculosis remains a worldwide public health problem and india accounts for highest tb burden in the world. the aim of the study was to evaluate the trend and treatment outcome of tuberculosis (tb) cases treated under dots strat­egy at a district level in karnataka, india. methods : this was a retrospective record based study conducted in dakshina kannada district of karnataka, du...

A recently derived function ties a portfolio’s loss given default rate (LGD) to its default rate. This study compares the predictive performance of the LGD function to that of linear regression using simulated data. The data are simulated using a linear model. Even though this confers an advantage to linear regression, the LGD function produces lower mean squared error over a meaningful range o...

Empirical studies suggest that fluctuations in the level and volatility of world interest rate affect sovereign spreads emerging economies. We incorporate an estimated time-varying process for (with both shocks) into a model default calibrated to panel Time variation interacts with incentives leads state contingent effects similar empirical literature. On average, response rise delivers 1.4 tim...
