We propose a new dynamic two-factor model of a loan portfolio. Following the common approach, we quantify the credit risk associated with the portfolio by the probability of default and the loss given default, each of which is driven by a factor common for all debts in the portfolio, and a factor individual to each debt. In line with the empirical evidence, the individual factors are assumed to be AR(1) processes. The common factors, on the other hand, may be dependent on the external (macroeconomic) environment. We apply our model to the US nationwide mortgage portfolio, fitting the dynamics of the factors with a VECM model with several macroeconomic indicators as exogenous variables.

The value added tax (VAT) rates have recently changed in the Czech Republic, and in this paper I simulate the impact of these reforms. They are an example of changes in indirect taxes that change the prices of goods and services, to which households can respond by adjusting their expenditures. I first estimate the behavioral response of consumers to price changes in the Czech Republic by applying a consumer demand model of the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) on the basis of the Czech Statistical Office household expenditure and price data for the period from 2001 to 2011. I derive estimates of own- and cross-price and income elasticities for individual households. I then use these elasticities to estimate the impact of the changes in VAT rates that were proposed or implemented between 2011 and 2013 on households’ quantity demanded and government revenues. One of the main findings is that the estimated increases in govern-ment revenues that take the consumer responses into account are more than a quarter lower than the estimates that use the static simulation.

This paper investigates the long-term financial integration and bivariate extreme dependence between Bovespa and the Istanbul Stock Exchange. While a static cointegration test presents no evidence of long-term cointegration, the introduction of a structural break into the model shows that Bovespa and the ISE were cointegrated following the local crisis in Turkey in 2000. Dynamic cointegration tests and DCC-GARCH analysis also reveal that Bovespa and the ISE reacted strongly not only to systemic crises as expected, but also unexpectedly to local crises in each other. This shows that equity prices in two emerging markets in distant regions of the world can co-move in the absence of significant trade and financial linkages. This suggests that there are underlying processes that affect equity prices other than trade, financial linkages, macroeconomic ties, and FDI as the prior literature suggests. While episodic cointegration is found for Bovespa and the ISE, the extremes of these markets still possess asymptotic independence, suggesting diversification opportunities.

The authors introduce an improved multi-factor credit risk model describing simultaneously the default rate and the loss given default. Their methodology is based on the KMV model, which they generalize in three ways. First, they add a model for loss given default (LGD), second, they bring dynamics to the model, and third, they allow non-normal distributions of risk factors. Both the defaults and the LGD are driven by a common factor and an individual factor; the individual factors are mutually independent, but the authors allow any form of dependence of the common factors. They test their model on a nationwide portfolio of US mortgage delinquencies, modeling the dependence of the common factor by a VECM model, and compare their results with the current regulatory framework, which is described in the Basel II Accord.
提出了一种改进的多因素信用风险模型,该模型同时描述了违约率和违约损失。他们的方法是基于KMV模型,他们概括为三种方式。首先,它们添加了违约损失模型(LGD),其次,它们给模型带来了动态性,第三,它们允许风险因素的非正态分布。违约和LGD都是由共同因素和个人因素驱动的;个别因素是相互独立的,但作者允许任何形式的共同因素的依赖。他们以美国全国范围内的抵押贷款违约组合为样本,用VECM模型对共同因素的依赖性进行建模,并将结果与《巴塞尔协议II》(Basel II Accord)中描述的当前监管框架进行比较。

The current study evaluates the performance of the Fama and French three-factor model in a global setting with stocks selected from 15 European countries. We employed the multivariate regression approach after sorting six portfolios according to size and book-to-market. The constituent stocks were selected to represent each country of our sample. In order to homogenize the returns we used the spot exchange rates of non-euro-area countries to convert prices into euros. Since we were analyzing on a global portfolio level we used the MSCI EMU index as the proxy for the market portfolio. Daily returns were employed for a period of five years from January 2002 to December 2006. The results were not very encouraging for the three-factor model. Except for one portfolio, the three-factor model failed to explain the variations in returns, and even in the single portfolio that demonstrated size and value premiums, the market premium was insignificant. Our findings are consistent with Griffin (2002), who suggested that the three-factor model is domestic in nature and performs poorly for global portfolios.
