the current economic crisis

Credit Risk Management In and Out of the Financial Crisis

Authors Anthony Saunders and Linda Allen address everything from
the implications of new regulations to how the new rules will
change everyday activity in the finance industry. They also provide
techniques for modeling-credit scoring, structural, and reduced
form models-while offering sound advice for stress testing credit
risk models and when to accept or reject loans.

* Breaks down the latest credit risk measurement and modeling
techniques and simplifies many of the technical and analytical
details surrounding them

* Concentrates on the underlying economics to objectively
evaluate new models

* Includes new chapters on how to prevent another crisis from
occurring

ever. Credit Risk Management In and Out of the Financial
