Product Description

Product Description

This book provides practitioners and students with a hands–on introduction to modern credit risk modeling. The authors begin each chapter with an accessible presentation of a given methodology, before providing a step–by–step guide to implementation methods in Excel and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). The book covers default probability estimation (scoring, structural models, and transition matrices), correlation and portfolio analysis, validation, as well as credit default swaps and structured finance. Several appendices and videos increase ease of access.

The second edition includes new coverage of the important issue of how parameter uncertainty can be dealt with in the estimation of portfolio risk, as well as comprehensive new sections on the pricing of CFSs and CDOs, and a chapter on predicting borrower–specific loss given default with regression models. In all, the authors present a host of applications – many of which go beyond standard Excel or VBA usages, for example, how to estimate logit models with maximum likelihood, or how to quickly conduct large–scale Monte Carlo simulations.

Clearly written with a multitude of practical examples, the new edition of Credit Risk Modeling using Excel and VBA will prove an indispensable resource for anyone working in, studying or researching this important field.

Praise for the first edition

“In one place, Löffler and Posch provide all that is needed to install a state–of–the–art risk management system, including a broad understanding of different risk management frameworks, detailed estimation techniques for dertiving PD, LGD, and correlation parameters, and programming tools for putting thesr methods into practice.”Richard Cantor, Chief Credit Officer, Moody’s Investor Service

From the Inside Flap

Further praise for the first edition

I read this book cover–to–cover and recommend it heartily. For each topic, there is straightforward explanation, practical examples, and implementable coding. This book would have saved me months of effort many times over with its full ‘toolset’ of Excel/VBA code. I have immediate plans to reread sections and incorporate sections of code into my own spreadsheets.” – Greg M. Gupton, Founder and Director, DefaultRisk.com

Praise for the second edition

“This is a very useful book. It provides incisive basic background knowledge on modeling for key credit risk topics, including  a new chapter on loss given default prediction, and the coding examples help to deepen the readers’ understanding and can be used as the basis for more advanced approaches, possibly with more powerful tools.” – Dirk Tasche, Senior Risk Advisor, Lloyds Banking Group

Format:Hardcover
The book does what it says on the cover (which can not be said for all the books that are out there) it shows how to model credit risk using excel and VBA. The authors also go into modeling CDS (Credit Default Swaps) and CDO's (Collateralized Debt Obligations) using Monte Carlo Simulations. Although they authors stress that this is not the purpose of the book I would have appreciated if there was also code in how to price CDO's using Copulas. The book contains all the Excel and VBA files in the DVD disk that accompanies this book and even video files in which the authors show how to write quick and efficient code and how to use some of the excel files. I whole heartedly recommend this book.

Very Good Introduction 6 April 2011
Format:Hardcover
This book is great for getting up to speed quickly on such topics as deriving transition matrices from rating data. It is very practical and the VBA should help those who need to implement solutions in the areas covered by the book.
