Credit Risk Modeling

This is an edited collection of papers on credit risk published in Risk Magazine between 1999 and 2003. If you are new to credit risk modeling, the papers are likely to be too advanced for you. If you are a financial engineer or risk manager with expertise in credit risk modeling, you will find the articles a goldmine.

 

There are 34 chapters divided into eight sections:

I. Pricing Credit Risk

II. Measuring Default Risk

III. Dependence in Defaults and Recoveries

IV. Value-at-Risk for Credit Portfolios

V. Basel II

VI. Asymptotic Methods in VaR

VII. Pricing Multi-Name Default Risk

VIII. Value-at-Risk for Asset Securitizations

They do not introduce topics so much as discuss or expand on cutting edge-research. There are plenty of reference to the literature. For someone who has read Schönbucher (2003) and Gregory (2003) and wants to explore the literature in-depth, this book offers an excellent jump-off point.
