Credit Risk Modelling is a
practitioner's guide to the theory and practice of credit risk management at instrument
and portfolio levels. It analyses the techniques for the modelling, evaluation and
management of credit exposures and their associated risk. Credit scoring, financial
statement analysis, game theoretic, and hazard rate and options-based techniques are
covered, as well as structured products and credit derivatives. The book includes advanced
techniques that extend the standard mean-variance framework of modern finance in the
search for greater realism and pricing accuracy.
