  • 演講摘要 : In this paper we develop an empirical model for a banking system that consists of regression equations for industries' and consumers' loan default rate as well as a vector autoregressive model for macroeconomic variables that are shown to exert significant influences over loan defaults. Based on the estimated results of such a system, we are able to simulate the credit loss distribution for the entire banking system from individual loans and calculate the Value at Risk (VaR) as a measure of the systemic credit risk. This framework is then applied to Taiwanese banking credit data that include over a million of individual credit exposure, credit rating, as well as loss given default samples. Both estimation and simulation require a huge amount of computation time. The result from our study can be used as an empirical foundation for implementing Basel III capital requirements for systemic credit risks.
