摘要:The Basel regulatory credit risk rules for expected losses require banks use downturn loss given default (LGD) estimates because the correlation between the probability of default (PD) and LGD is not captured, even though this has been repeatedly demonstrated by empirical research. A model is examined which captures this correlation using empirically-observed default frequencies and simulated LGD and default data of a loan portfolio. The model is tested under various conditions dictated by input parameters. Having established an estimate of the impact on expected losses, it is speculated that the model be calibrated using banks' own loss data to compensate for the omission of correlation dependence. Because the model relies on observed default frequencies, it could be used to adapt in real time, forcing provisions to be dynamically allocated.
