The proposed research topics are aspects of my continuing research programs in credit risk and operational risk modeling.The recent empirical evidence shows that both asset and default correlations violently increase during stress periods. I propose to study a class of dependent default models, which can incorporate excessive correlations under stress. The implication of the level of dependence incorporated to the credit derivative prices and the risk measures will be studied. This area of research is quite important as the typical models which are built on the conditional independence and the normality assumptions, fail to explain the extreme movement in the market and, thus, introduce a severe underestimation of risk.The modeling of the joint-dynamics of underlying assets is fundamental in credit risk modeling. I intend to study a multi-asset model that incorporates stochastic volatility and stochastic correlations. Parameter estimation and diagnostic tools with a particular application to the modeling of European sovereign credit risk will be considered. In addition to credit risk, a few issues will be studied on operational risk modeling. The portfolio question includes the development of a robust regression method for external loss data scaling. Multivariate loss models will be studied to incorporate any interdependence between business units and event types.

最近的实证研究表明，在压力时期，资产和违约的相关性都急剧增加。我建议研究一类相依违约模型，它可以在压力下包含过度的相关性。将研究纳入信用衍生品价格和风险措施的依赖程度的含义。这一领域的研究是非常重要的，因为典型的模型是建立在条件独立性和正态性假设，无法解释极端的运动在市场上，因此，引入了严重低估的风险。我打算研究一个多资产模型，其中包括随机波动率和随机相关性。将考虑参数估计和诊断工具，特别适用于欧洲主权信用风险的建模。除了信用风险之外，还将研究操作风险建模的一些问题。投资组合问题包括外部损失数据缩放的稳健回归方法的发展。将研究多变量损失模型，以纳入业务单位和事件类型之间的任何相互依赖关系。
