Distributionally robust optimization approaches to credit risk management of corporate loan portfolios
A new approach to manage credit risk in financial institutions - the empirical divergence-based distributionally robust optimization - is proposed and shown to alleviate the challenges of sample sparsity and data uncertainty in credit risk modeling.
