Loss given default (LGD)

Uncovering PD/LGD liaisons

Francisco Sanchez, Roland Ordovas, Elena Martinez and Manuel Vega consider the presence of correlation between default and recovery through the familiar variance of loss formula. Business cycle dependence permits a neat decomposition of the variance…

Going downturn

There is much debate regarding the definition of 'downturn' loss given default (LGD). In this article, Michael Barco offers an analytic approach for calculating downturn LGD so that credit risk capital is not underestimated or overestimated

Modelling and estimating dependent loss given default

Martin Hillebrand proposes a portfolio credit risk model with dependent loss given default (LGD), offering a reasonable economic interpretation that is easily applicable to real data. He builds a precise mathematical framework, and stresses some…

A saddle for complex credit portfolio models

Guido Giese applies the saddle-point approximation to analyse tail losses for very general credit portfolios, including correlated defaults, stochastic recovery rates, and dependency between default probabilities and recovery rates. The numerical…
