In Chapter 4, model risk was defined in terms of the potential of a specific QRM implementation not being useful. It can lead to financial loss, poor business and strategic decision-making, or damage to a bank’s reputation (see OCC, 2011). In Chapter 1, risk in general was characterised as a situation with an uncertain future outcome that is of importance to us. Based on this characterisation, model risk would indeed count as a risk.
The immediate questions would then be: “How should model risk be dealt with?” and “Is there a QRM to cope with model risk?” Leaving aside some self-referential aspects for the moment, identification of the basic elements of such a QRM would present a big challenge:
-
-
a quantity of interest the future value of which is uncertain;
-
-
-
a set of potential future scenarios that describe possible values of that quantity of interest; and
-
-
-
a statistic or a risk measure to sum up the essential information obtained from the analysis of the potential future scenarios.
-
Of course, one could claim that the quantity of interest would be the economic loss due to a misused QRM and that the potential future scenarios
