Estimation of Regulatory Credit Risk Models

Author

  • Carlos Perez Montes

Abstract

This article estimates a general credit risk model with both macroeconomic and latent credit factors for Spanish banks during the period 2004–2010. The proposed framework allows to estimate with bank level data both a credit risk model in line with the standard of Basel II and generalized models. I find evidence of persistence in the credit latent factor and of a significant effect of GDP growth and interbank rates on loan default rates. The estimated default correlation is low across specifications, indicating a positive relation between bank concentration and financial stability. The model is also used to calculate the impact on the probabilities of default of stressed economic scenarios. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015
