Description: With so many different models and ways of building them, the task of organizing our thinking about models can seem overwhelming. The paper proposes a framework of four categories of models and seven attributes. By comparing each model category across these attributes, it provides insight into practical questions like, "are some modeling approaches inherently better than others?" and "how should the level and type of model risk management effort depend on model category?"

Description: Economic capital models are getting increasingly complex. An alternate copula free approach is presented which uses accounting data and an implicit correlation model to simplify economic capital calculations. Model simplification leads to robust and stable models. A banking case study is used to showcase how the model can be deployed using publicly available accounting data, capital adequacy, leverage ratios and shortfall tools.
