English
Credit risk evaluation is as old as commerce itself. Processes have been refined over centuries based on cumulative experience, judgment and learning. The rapid development of financial markets however has tested the limits of the traditional approach as highly publicized credit losses and huge non-performing loans across the globe well document. Distress among many credit professionals and regulators prevails. This book describes a different and unemotional approach to credit risk evaluation. Based on abstract and objective credit models, the concept of credit risk measurement is introduced through a range of theoretical and practical perspectives. From making a case for credit risk measurement as a complement to the more traditional approaches to credit risk management, the book covers validation, applications and new areas of credit risk management. Contributions by leading academics, practitioners and consultants provide for scholars and credit risk professionals but also less mathematically inclined readers or interested parties, a wide spectrum of ideas and concepts for developing and improving their own viewpoint, processes and approaches. A demo-CD of one particular model is included for practical testing and playing with applied credit risk measurement concepts.
