Modeling portfolio credit risk taking into account the default correlations using a copula approach: implementation to an Italian loan portfolio
This work aims to illustrate an advanced quantitative methodology for measuring the
credit risk of a loan portfolio allowing for diversification effects. Also, this methodology can
allocate the credit capital coherently to each counterparty in the portfolio. The analytical approach
used for estimating the portfolio credit risk is a binomial type based on a Monte Carlo Simulation.
This method takes into account the default correlations among the credit counterparties in the
