Basel III allows for the use of statistical models. It is called the internal-ratings-based (IRB) approach and is based on the (Vasicek, 2002) model. It assumes assets returns are standard normally distributed. It suggests incorporating different asset correlation (R) functions to assess credit risk for the loan portfolio, or the risk-weighted assets (RWA). The asset correlation function solely depends on the individual default probability (PD) given certain credit exposure type.
At the same time, the IRB approach requires developing PD models to predict the discrete default event occurrence. This means that the IRB approach is based on the Bernoulli trials. We investigate the impact of the asset returns’ correlation for the Bernoulli trials. We show that when Bernoulli trials are considered, the credit risk estimation significantly deviate from the values derived under the normality assumption of asset returns.
We investigate the simulated and real-world credit rating agencies’ data to specifically demonstrate the scale of the credit risk underestimation by the IRB approach. Therefore, macroprudential add-ons are of use to offset such IRB limitations.

The recently finalized Basel Framework continues allowing banks to use internal data and models to define risk estimates and use them for the capital adequacy ratio computation. World-wide there are above two thousand banks running the Basel internal models. However, there are countries that have none of such banks. For them there exists a dilemma. ...

In contemporary world, binary choice models are used in many areas. However, for all such areas, a problem arises when the share of one of the classes in the data sample is small. If this share is significantly small, this class is referred to as low default class. The purpose of this paper is to ...

The Basel II accord implemented in 2006, meant that banks worldwide could use Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) models, in order to evaluate the components of their Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR). In 2017 the IRB approach was also included into the Basel III Framework. The financial crisis of 2007-09 revealed the unsustainability of the Greek debt and ...

The article explains the difference between asset correlation and default correlation, compares the distribution of defaults for normally distributed and binary random variables. The authors show the inadequacy of the binomial test with correlation under the Basel II since it is ignoring the bimodality of the empirical default distribution. The study shows how to validate ...

This paper proposes a practically applicable method to include the impact of the internal ratings-based (IRB) model quality into risk-weighted assets (RWA) used to assess bank capital adequacy. The method implements an add-on to RWA depending on IRB model quality indicators to compensate for the possible RWA underestimation caused by model risk. It is shown ...

Validation procedures are designed to prevent IRB models with model risk from being used in day-to-day business operations. The models that do pass are expected to entail negligible model risk. However, no one has studied the magnitude of such risk. Moreover, most of the prior literature criticises the IRB models either for missing certain features ...

Nowadays capital adequacy ratio is one of the most important indicators for a bank that reflects its ability to absorb losses in cases its borrowers default. To estimate capital adequacy ratio within internal ratings based approach probability of default and loss given default are considered. This work is novel to be first to investigate the ...

Российские банки больше 15 лет знакомы с требованиями Базельского комитета по банковскому надзору к статистическим моделям оценки риска, если считать с первого неофициального перевода ЦБ РФ документа «Базель-II», опубликованного в 2004 году.

Статья посвящена проектированию банковского регулирования, основанному на сравнении финансовой системы с транспортными потоками. Автор рассматривает банки в качестве эквивалента городов (территорий, требующих организации движения транспорта), а автомобили — финансовых операций. Данная аналогия позволяет экстраполировать решения задач по управлению транспортными потоками на область финансового регулирования рисков. ...

This paper presents results of an empirical study which explores Russian banks’ ratings by the econometric modeling method. The nexus was examined between ratings assigned by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch agencies in 2010-2013 years and banks’ financial indicators. Several hypotheses concerning the most promising ways to influence bank rating are tested. According to the research, ...

Conventional stress-testing in credit risk management may considerably underestimate economic losses associated with the most negative scenarios. In this paper, we show that in order to properly stress-test credit risk, we need to derive initially the default correlation among assets or companies. Then a risk measure needs to be applied to the stressed default rate ...
