Asset correlation in residential mortgage-backed security reference portfolios
This paper contributes to the literature about estimating asset correlation in two ways. First, we compare the performance of different estimation approaches in a simulation study.
Estimation of risk measures for large credit portfolios
In this paper, saddle point techniques are used in the computation of risk measures for large mark-to-market credit portfolios with stochastic recovery and correlation between obligors depending on the state of the economy.
A credit value adjustment scheme for bank loan portfolios
In this study the authors develop an analytical scheme that integrates a large spectrum of typical bank loans and credits, accommodates common bank loan portfolio chronological interdependencies and allows the necessary credit value adjustments (CVAs)…
Asset correlation of retail loans in the context of the new Basel Capital Accord
The approach to the measurement of credit risk recommended by the new Basel Capital Accord (Basel II) gives a wide choice of basic risk estimators. However, the rules for estimating asset correlations are defined in an ambiguous manner.

The Bayesian roots of risk balancing
Risk balancing has been considered a heuristic asset allocation method. In this paper, the authors show that, on the contrary, risk balancing is a special case of a utility optimization problem with log regularization that constrains risk concentration.
