Model risk

In finance, model risk is the risk of loss resulting from using insufficiently accurate models to make decisions, originally and frequently in the context of valuing financial securities. However, model risk is more and more prevalent in activities other than financial securities valuation, such as assigning consumer credit scores, real-time probability prediction of fraudulent credit card transactions, and computing the probability of air flight passenger being a terrorist. Rebonato in 2002 defines model risk as "the risk of occurrence of a significant difference between the mark-to-model value of a complex and/or illiquid instrument, and the price at which the same instrument is revealed to have traded in the market". (Wikipedia).

Risk Management Lesson 9B: Model-Building Approach to Market Risk

The second part of Lesson 9 still deals with Market Risk, but we discuss the model-building approach, in which we assume a model for our market variables. In particular we consider the so-called Var-Cov approach, which strongly relies on normality (a definitely unrealistic assumption, yet.
