Description: 1994 SOA Spring Meeting, Orlando. This session on credit risk presented a comparative survey of recent and ongoing research related to asset credit risk, and it provided analysis of SOA 1986-89 credit risk data.

But an SOA study demonstrates that similar methods can be used to analyze the mortality and morbidity of assets i.e., credit risk events such as restructures, defaults, foreclosures, and bankruptcies. This is a Summary of the Final Report: 1986-1989 Credit Risk Event Loss Experience, Commercial Mortgage Loans and Private Placement Bonds. From ACTUARIAL RESEARCH CLEARING HOUSE, 1994 VOL. 1.
