TLDR
In this article, a new approach built around a mortality risk framework to measure the risk and returns on loans and bonds is presented, which offers some promise in analyzing the risk-return structures of portfolios of credit-risk exposed debt instruments.Abstract:
This paper traces developments in the credit risk measurement literature over the last 20 years. The paper is essentially divided into two parts. In the first part the evolution of the literature on the credit-risk measurement of individual loans and portfolios of loans is traced by way of reference to articles appearing in relevant issues of the Journal of Banking and Finance and other publications. In the second part, a new approach built around a mortality risk framework to measuring the risk and returns on loans and bonds is presented. This model is shown to offer some promise in analyzing the risk-return structures of portfolios of credit-risk exposed debt instruments.read more

Procyclicality of the financial system and financial stability: Issues and policy options
Abstract: In recent decades, developments in the financial sector have played a major role in shaping macroeconomic outcomes in a wide range of countries. Financial developments have reinforced the momentum of underlying economic cycles, and in some cases have led to extreme swings in economic activity and a complete breakdown in the normal linkages between savers and investors. These experiences have led to concerns that the financial system is excessively procyclical, unnecessarily amplifying swings in the real economy. In turn, these concerns have prompted calls for changes in prudential regulation, accounting standards, risk measurement practices and the conduct of monetary policy in an attempt to enhance both financial system and macroeconomic stability.
