Operational Risk Copula model

  • Featured

Prescio applied a copula approach to measure the effect of correlations between aggregate losses for different operational risk event types for a major US bank. The capital amount was substantially reduced when the copula feature was added to the economic capital model, since this approach used the actual historical correlations between event types rather than assuming 100% correlation.
