M.Ing.

This dissertation focuses on an industrial risk management case study, which aims to illustrate how the risks involved in a new project have to be identified, approached and managed. The aim of this dissertation is therefore to act as an example of modem risk management theory and implementation in an industrial engineering environment. The first part of the dissertation focuses on the theoretical background of risk management. It starts by giving the history of risk after which a definition of risk is concluded from a variety of text books. The history of risk shows how risk developed through the ages and evolved into a way of making sure that the right strategic decisions are taken. The following chapters focus on the frameworks that have been developed by different international parties to structure the risk management process. The financial environment is also highlighted as an industry in which risk has been developed to help companies tremendously in making investment decisions. Although there are fundamental differences between risk management in the industrial and financial environment, there are however a few similarities. One aspect that can be taken from the financial environment and be implemented in the industrial environment is the fact that risk management has to be done according to a fixed structure or framework. A short literature case study shows how businesses made crucial mistakes in the past, and how implementing modem risk management techniques can rectify these mistakes. A big part of risk management is not only the qualitative analysis, but also in the quantitative analysis, which was ignored in the literature case study. The theory behind these quantitative techniques is highlighted as the last theoretical background before the second part of the dissertation focuses on the risk involved in the expansion project of an oil refinery. After the theoretical background of the expansion project is given as an introduction to the case study, the quantitative analysis for the expansion project is done. Through A Case Study in Industrial Risk Management 2 the quantitative analysis, the high risks involved in the project are highlighted more clearly and numbers or figures will indicate how realistic the objectives of the project are. By monitoring and controlling these critical project variables through the project life cycle, the chances of achieving the project results are greatly increased.

▼ Certain models of the term structure of interest rates exhibit unspanned stochastic volatility (USV). A model has this property if it involves a source of stochastic variation — called an unspanned factor — that does not affect the model’s interest rates directly, but does affect the extent to which future interests are liable to change (that is, interest-rate volatility). This thesis is concerned with these models, from a variety of perspectives. Firstly, the theoretical foundation of the USV property is addressed. Formal definitions of unspanned factors and USV are developed, generalising ones tentatively proposed in the literature. Several results from these definitions and the accompanying framework are derived. Particularly, the ability to hedge general claims (i.e., the completeness or lack thereof) of these models is examined in detail. Examples are given to illustrate the features of the proposed framework and the necessity of the generalised definitions. Secondly, the empirical issue of whether USV models are necessary to plausibly represent observed interest-rate markets is interrogated. An empirical derivative-hedging approach is adopted, the results of which are contextualised by also treating data simulated from models with USV and non-USV versions. It is shown that hedging effectiveness is relatively robust to the presence of USV, which resolves the apparent conflict between the two studies that have taken a hedging approach to this question. Despite the cross-sectional hedging effects being surprisingly minor, further regression results show that USV models are needed to model the time series of market interest rates. Finally, the thesis addresses a certain class of models that exhibit USV: those with one spanned factor (driving interest-rate variation) and one unspanned, volatility-related factor. Being the simplest non-trivial USV models, these bivariate USV models are fundamental, and — like onefactor models in general settings — are helpful in introducing and comparing higher-factor models when simple ones are insufficient. These models are shown to exist (contradicting a claim in the literature); to share a particular affine form for their bond pricing functions; and to necessarily exhibit a short-term interest rate with dynamics of a certain type. A specific bivariate USV model is then proposed, which is analysed and compared to others in the literature. Advisors/Committee Members: Ouwehand, Peter (advisor).

In their monograph “Continuous Assurance (CA) for the Now Economy,” Vasarhelyi et al. (2010) introduce Continuous Risk Monitoring and Assessment (CRMA) as a future area of continuous auditing. CRMA is a CA methodology to monitor an organization’s business risks, identify its uncontrolled significant risks, and prioritize audit and risk management procedures for the timely mitigation of such risks. They argue that development of CRMA procedures is necessary to keep maintain the relevance of CA system in a changing audit risk environment. This dissertation discusses the development of CRMA and proposes a methodology encompassing four components: (1) identification of the entity risks, (2) selection of relevant Key Risk Indicators (KRI, Institute of Operation Risk, 2010), (3) use of relevant KRIs to assess the entity’s risk exposure levels, and (4) prioritization of audit and risk management procedures in real time. This framework will assist the auditor in selecting audit procedures in response to changes in the entity’s business risks, facilitating timelier prevention or mitigation of their adverse effects on the entity’s business operations. Addressing those four components guided the development of the proposed methodology of CRMA. To illustrate the use of KRIs to assess and monitor business risks under the proposed CRMA methodology, we discuss the monitoring and assessment of corporate reputation risk using KRIs. We also present a metric that measures the degree of negative public perception of an organization extracted from current social media platforms (specifically, Twitter) as a KRI to represent the organization’s current reputation level and confirm the occurrence of the organization’s reputational damage. We demonstrate the present KRI by measuring Twitter response to two real risk events: Purina’s lawsuit for selling harmful dog food and Starbucks’ “Race Together” campaign. We analyze the Twitter response mentioning these two risk events and measure the degree of the public’s negative perception embedded in them by using the present KRI. We discuss our methods used to perform this analysis and present the results.

▼ Understanding and limiting the risks inherent to natural and cut slopes are now recognized to be a priority in achieving an acceptable quality of life. Various methods of risk management that have been proposed in the last three decades have evolved into a general framework for landslide risk management. In particular, quantitative risk assessments can assist in communicating risks. They also provide a clear and systematic framework to analyze slope failure processes, from origin, to movement, to consequence; and the effect of different remedial works and strategies. Some of the challenges and perceived limitations of quantitative risk assessments are related to the necessary input of expert opinion when estimating the risk levels in a quantitative manner. One objective of this work is the systematic assessment of the uncertainties in the estimated values of risk. Quantitative risk analyses are carried out for two case histories, where population of the analyses input parameters is done as probability distributions rather than fixed values. The probability distributions of the input parameters cover the range of values believed realistic for each input parameter. The risk is then estimated through a Monte Carlo simulation technique, and the outcome of the analysis is a probability distribution of the estimated risk. This methodology shows the potential for evaluating the uncertainties related to risk estimations. The full potential of the risk management framework is best met with the establishment of risk evaluation criteria. The other objective of this work focuses on the development of risk evaluation criteria. It is not the intention of this work to develop case specific criteria, as this responsibility should lie with owners and regulators, but to propose a framework for developing the criteria, where the risk analyst takes an active role. A summary of the state of practice for quantitative risk assessments is included as part of the thesis. The work on the evaluation of uncertainty related to the estimated risks and a proposed framework for developing risk evaluation criteria are then presented. The last two chapters of the thesis present a summary of the research results, conclusions and proposed future research.

▼ Purpose: This research examined the effectiveness of risk assessments in an organisational setting and found that risk assessors may not effectively assess risks and so may not provide the best available information or effective advice to decision makers. However, guidance on the conduct of risk assessments is scattered across many organisational, economic and technological domains with little consistency in definitions and processes, perhaps contributing to ineffective risk assessments. This is an area of academic and practical relevance that can be investigated rigorously and has the potential to improve decision making. Design/methodology: The main research question was: RQ. Can a generic goal tree, populated with critical success factors and necessary conditions derived from the literature and case studies, be developed that would help decision makers and risk assessors to evaluate the effectiveness of risk assessments before they are used to aid a decision? The research described here used a pragmatist approach to managerial practice and associated practitioner problems related to (1) how effectively risk assessments informed decision makers before decisions were made; (2) how formal risk assessments were carried out; and (3) how risk assessments might be improved. Following a comprehensive literature review, an online survey was used to determine what methods are employed currently, while case studies investigated the conduct of risk assessments in context. The literature review indicated that risk has many connotations and diverse definitions and conceptualisations, leading to the conclusion that a given risk assessment should state the definition of risk used. The ISO31000 definitions of risk ("effect of uncertainty on objectives") and risk assessments were found to be most useful for this research. The online survey of risk and safety practitioners found little use of structured techniques or consideration of human factors, a finding also reflected in the case studies. Potential critical success factors and necessary conditions for an effective risk assessment were identified from the literature review and linked using the Theory of Constraints logic processes to form a tentative goal tree (GT) including the entities and relationships underpinning effective risk assessment. This also provided a means of structuring and reporting the online survey data, and critiquing a pilot study and five further case studies, and selected professional practice developments. The case studies explored in detail how risk assessments were carried out in support of a management decision. Each case was investigated using document and literature reviews, and structured, one-on-one interviews, including review of the tentative GT by interviewees. Qualitative data from the case studies was analysed using NVivo and quantitative data from the online survey was analysed using SPSS. Findings: This research demonstrated the ontological and epistemological basis of the GT, justifying it as effective research tool and enquiry system… Advisors/Committee Members: Mabin, Victoria, Cordery, Carolyn.

▼ Despite well-publicized tragedies and catastrophes regularly occurring at universities, less than half have implemented an integrated approach to the management of institutional risk. Without thoroughly understanding their risk management systems and their states of preparation, universities will continue to be vulnerable to serious events. Specific aims of this research were to compile a set of university risk management system descriptions, develop a comparative instrument to measure university risk management system preparedness versus their peer institutions, and assemble a set of good operating practices to provide options for universities to improve their risk management systems and states of preparation. Ten dimensions of risk management, derived from the literature review, were created with three questions in each dimension. Interviews with top-tier public research universities were conducted, with data analyzed and compiled in terms of general observations, significant findings, and good operating practices. Risk Preparedness Index (RPI) scoring criteria were created and each university was scored. The results corroborated the findings of the literature review and demonstrated that integrated institutional risk management has not been judged to be a priority even at these top-tier public research universities. Chief concerns identified in the research were the chilling effects on robust risk discussions due to state open meeting laws, the lack of systems thinking, and the lack of process formality which created vulnerability and unsustainable risk management systems at these top tier public research universities. Through the use of this research and associated results, academic institutions will be able to reduce harmful events to their students and employees, save significant costs of operations, and generate economic gains by preserving their reputations for excellence.

▼ The field of modern project management is not new, and what seems to have changed over the past decade is the evolution of techniques applying theory into practice. This had as a consequence for the need to standardise and structure different processes of project management, in a detailed, documented and formal manner. On the other hand, change management seen as an integrated process within project management is a rational process for exploring decision and behaviour alternatives in an attempt to realign the course of ‘derailed’ deliverables due to change and ensure project success. However, models contained in such frameworks often lack formal semantics and clarity; generally fail to address and assess organisational change management risk reasoning, in a rather detailed way as they do for the majority of the project management processes. Since, uncontrolled changes might have an effect on the projects’ success, it is vital to assess the probability of materialisation (risk) of success before the decision is made and whether to proceed with the change or not. For example, if the change dramatically increases the risk of failure then it is logical to assume that avoiding that implementation is the right decision. Ideally, a change or consequence based upon a decision should have a low impact and a fairly high level of predictability. This research, takes the challenge to propose a novel modelling approach, which will contribute significantly to the missing formality of business models especially in the change risks assessment area. The introduction of Change Risk Assessment Model (CRAM) allows the identification and definition of speculative relationships, between change risks in the form of hierarchical risk tree analysis. Overall, the method is dynamic and flexible enough that can be tailored to various project requirements, taking into account significant environmental risk factors which influence project deliverables. Project success is a key objective for today’s organisations; professionals can make use of a new methodology for risk assessment, compatible with project management frameworks which currently seems to be missing from literature. Project management methodologies are not a panacea against project failure; nevertheless, CRAM can be regarded as a comprehensive modelling approach which combines both quantitative and qualitative risk criteria analysis in decision making processes.

▼ Risk plays an important role in project management, thus risks management is indeed a significant key issue in project management, even without exception for Public Private Partnership (PPP) project. Moreover, the identification and the management of risks are some essential aspects in PPP processes. In addition, due to the lack of PPP experience, as well as expertise in many countries and regions, identifying and managing risks are decisive to the success of PPPs. Therefore, in order to achieve the research aim, three objectives were outlined in this study; 1) To identify the common risks for PPP construction projects; 2) To determine risk ranking and significant risk factors for PPP infrastructure projects in Malaysia, and; 3) To determine the impact of the risk factors of PPP infrastructure project in Malaysia towards successful delivery. The scope of this study focused on the identification and the assessment of risk factors. Apart from that, data collection was carried out by using structured questionnaire, which was designed based on the findings from literature review. Besides, pilot study was conducted based on the opinions gathered from 11 experts involved in the construction industry, as well as PPP researchers, to improve the questionnaire. The questionnaire survey was carried out among both the public and the private sectors that were involved in the construction industry. A total of 36 sets of completed questionnaires were received. The data were analysed statistically with Risk Significance Index approach, and via Partial Least Square (PLS) Path Modelling. The findings retrieved from the Risk Significance Analysis showed that the five most significant risk factors are construction cost overruns, construction time delay, availability of skilled labour, corruption, and geotechnical conditions. Meanwhile, from from the PLS Path Modelling analysis, finance group give the highest variance value which is 0.506. Therefore, finance related risk factors give the impact towards PPP infrastructure project in Malaysia towards successful delivery. Furthermore, the Global Fit Index (GoF) of the model depicted 0.79, which meant that the developed model had enough explaining power in describing the causal relationship between the risk factor and the success of PPP. Hence, this study provide a broader view pertaining to the common risk factor as far as the Malaysian PPP infrastructure is concerned.

M.Comm.

Every modern-day company is faced with challenges on a daily basis to improve its performance. This challenge stretches further than the financial target that is received from the shareholders every year and boils right down to the day to day operations of a company. How does the company perform according to the market, does the company have a uniqueness that will allow for a competitive advantage, how can costs be reduced in order to create value in terms of shareholders and how to stay the blueprint company with its competitors seen as followers. The objective of this study is to determine the effect that financial risk management in terms of a cell captive insurance facility has on a company, especially the financial side and ultimately to provide a framework on the implementation of a cell captive insurance facility. A cell captive insurance facility stems from the self insurance principle and is tailored to a unique product offered by various insurance companies. It enables a company to insure its frequent losses at a lower premium than the insurance market and all surpluses resulting from the Captive can be regarded as profit to the owner of the captive or used to lower the following year's contribution. In order to obtain a Cell Captive's insurance facility, a company must purchase shares in an insurance company, known as a sponsor, and hereby receive certain insurance amenities. The captive that is now formed enables a company to insure all business related activities against possible risks with a further extension of the definition 'business related activities'. Due to the unlikely event to completely self insure, with regards to the cost implication and bearing the size of the captive in mind to cover all possible financial losses, an underwritten agreement between the cell captive owner and the sponsor insurance company should cater for all catastrophic risks which protects the captive from collapsing, due to a massive loss. With the creation of a cell captive insurance facility, the owner of the captive can extend on all its business related activities and offer insurance products to its employees and clients, with a reasonably reduce rate compared to the insurance market. The success of theses products can be so-good that the financial impact on the captive proofs the products to be self-reliant and even generates an income for the cell captive insurance facility. As a result of the objective to implement effective risk management via a cell captive insurance facility and to create profit by doing so, the results of the Vodacom Group was used in order to emphasize the successfulness of a cell captive insurance facility. Vodacom Group saved or rather refer to the term as "created" a net underwriting profit that amounts to R 3,385,275 in the first three months by using its Cell Captive Insurance Facility. Thats more than enough to prove the financial gain, but the company also benefited from the fact that it now has the ability to educate its managers and their management styles. The captive can…

▼ Financial risk management is considered by researchers as a yard stick for determining failure or success of a financial institution. It has not been given much attention in recent times. This research work sought to bring to light the need for financial institutions to pay attention to the management of risk. It is obvious that the aim of every business is to maximize shareholders wealth and acquire substantial profit either for expansion or to undertake new product development. Across the banking industry, the most prominent area that erodes the mass of their profit is risk management (credit, market and operational). The objective of this study was to analyse the effect of financial risk management on the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The study analyzed the current financial risk management practices of the 44 commercial banks licensed in Kenya. The researcher adopted descriptive research design and ROA which represents financial performance was averaged for 6 years (2008-2013). The study was based mainly on secondary data which was collected from the annual reports of commercial banks. The researcher in her analysis used multiple regression analysis models which were presented in the form of tables and regression equation. The findings of the study showed that there is a significant relationship between financial performance and financial risk management. The results of the analysis indicates that non performing loans ratio (NPLR) has a strong correlation with ROA and both cash to deposit ratio and current ratio have a weak correlation with ROA. Hence, the regression as whole is significant meaning that NPLR, Current Ratio and Cash to deposit ratio reliably predict ROA. The study recommends that banks should manage risks involved during their operations to minimize potential risks and losses involved and that dividends paid to shareholders should be well managed to maximize the profits. It also recommends that banks should develop strategies to manage risks involved during their operations

▼ Pension Schemes are the main sources of retirement income for millions of people in the world. Pension Schemes are also important contributors to the gross domestic product (GDP) of countries. This study focuses on pension Schemes in Kenya. Retirement income accounts for 68% of the total income of retirees in Kenya, while pension assets account for 30% of Kenya’s GDP. It is therefore important risk management practices of pension Schemes be managed effectively, not only in Kenya, but also in other countries. The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of risk management practices to performance of Pension schemes in Kenya. More specifically, the study explores the effect risk management environment, risk measurement; risk mitigation and Internal Controls had positive effects on the performance of pension schemes in Kenya. A sample of 64 pension Schemes was drawn from the Kenyan Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) register. The sample selection was based on the criterion that these pension funds should have been in existence within the period 2009 to 2013.This study used empirical design to investigate how pension scheme risks management practices affect performance of pension schemes by use of Sharpe Ratio. . Eighty (80) questionnaires were mailed to the trustees of these pension schemes. Sixty four (64) usable questionnaires were returned, which translated into a response rate of 80 per cent and historical monthly performance or returns data for all investments used i.e. fixed income, equities and offshore. Risk adjustment measures of Standard Deviation and Sharpe Ratio were applied to test the riskiness of the investments. Analysis of the data collected was summarised using tables in order to derive the study findings. Accordingly, the study viewed risk-returns in terms of the ratios and returns as per the sectors in investments for Pensions Funds in 64 schemes in Kenya. The initial analysis showed that there is a link between the asset allocation and risk factor at all the schemes with a high mean of 1.64%. However, the difference in returns for the various schemes seems to be insignificant. This implies that the assumed risks by policy makers might not have existed, but to be sure of the relationship between risk return and decision making, the regression results were clearly indicative that the variables can be linked. The study concludes that investment decisions should be based on the best estimates of as it remains a factor in the calculation of returns and is therefore prudent to use risk measures such as Sharpe Ratio in making investment decisions. Policy makers such as RBA, CMA, CBK and Ministry of Finance should review impact of risk on market development.

▼ Credit risk is on an increasing rate is becoming an area of concern to many people and institutions in the lending business globally. This kind of exposure leads to instability and poor financial performance of financial institutions. Therefore, this research sought to evaluate the effect of credit risk management on the financial performance of DTMs and non-deposit taking MFIs in Kenya. The research design exploited descriptive research design in this research as it draws in a comprehensive analysis of credit risk management and its correlation with financial performance in micro finance institutions. Secondary data gathered from microfinance institutions yearly reports (2011- 2015) was utilized. The study population was 13 microfinance institutions licensed by CBK and 22 nondeposit taking MFIs, though data was attained from 27 MFIs. The data collected was subjected to a multiple regression analysis, correlation, and ANOVA. In the analysis, ROE was used as a profitability indicator whereas PAR 30 was a measure of credit risk. This study depicted that there is a considerable correlation involving financial performance and credit risk management. From the model, the ROE (Financial performance) was 10.676 when other factors (Credit risk, Liquidity risk and Interest rate risk) are held constant. A unit increase in credit risk holding other factors constant results in a 2.165 decrease in the return on equity (ROE). Additionally, a unit increase in liquidity risk results in a 0.224 increase in the return on equity other factors held constant. Finally, from the model, when other factors are held constant, (Credit Risk and Liquidity risk), a unit increase in the central bank of Kenya interest rates results in a decrease in the ROE of the microfinance institutions by 0.518. The credit risk and interest risk were the most significant variables as their p-values were less than 0.05. The study recommends that the Mfis in Kenya must pay constant attention to credit risk being a major risk to NPLs. Secondly; CBK needs to come up with strong regulations on the unregulated nondeposit making MFIs. Thirdly, the regulators must come up with adequate capital adequacy requirements to shield the MFIs from financial risks. Further research needs to be done on the effects of absence of regulations on the MFIs in Kenya.

▼ Businesses today are faced with greater challenges and complications than ever before as economical, technological and legal interdependence become more common and pronounced. Due to these developments, risks may go unidentified for too long and early warning indicators ignored. In light of this, this study seeks to establish the operations risk management practices commonly used and determine the relationship between operations risk management practices and service delivery among Government Owned Entities in Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive survey design and the population of study was from Government owned entities in Kenya. The study selected respondents using simple random sampling technique. The data was collected using questionnaires that were administered to employees. The collected data was coded and analyzed in Excel (2007) program. The analysis involved the use of descriptive statistics; tables and pie charts. The study found that GOEs have embraced operational risk management practices and commonly used practices include risk control self assessment, identification of key risk indicators and compliance to rules and regulations. Lack of full support and enough resources to support operational risk management practices was identified as existing challenge. Board oversight, periodic audits, tracking of mitigations, existence of operation risk management strategy and oversight by parent/line ministry are some of the activities that help GOEs in managing operations risks. These practices also influence service delivery at different levels. It was established that operation risk management self assessment has a positive significant effect on service delivery as indicated by a beta coefficient of 0.566. The study further, found that operation risk indicators identification practices has a positive insignificant influence on service delivery. Finally, the results indicated that Operational Risk Rules and Regulations have a positive significant influence on service delivery.

▼ Purpose: Unlike the commercial industries, the risks arising from the healthcare industry’s internal system and the surrounding environment may cause serious consequences, even the patients’ health. Concerning the increasing emphasis on risk management in the healthcare supply chain environment, there is an urgent demand for a novel decision support method that supports supply chain risk management in the hospital setting. As the topic is still in the early stage and only a few systematic academic studies on this topic can be found over the last decades. This research aims to propose a novel comprehensive framework and integrated risk management model that takes explicit account of multiple types of risk factors in aiding decision-making as well as compares and ranks the current implemented alternative risk mitigation strategies using fuzzy set theory and multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods. Methodology: In pursuit of meeting the requirements of the research objectives, this research conducts empirical studies from both China and UK healthcare industries and follows three steps of risk management procedure based on the proposed framework to conduct risk factors identification, assessment and risk mitigation strategies identification. In order to ensure that the analysis is systematic and inclusive, various types of risk factors are identified through a related systematic literature review and are validated through a set of empirical studies. Risk assessment is conducted through two stages of questionnaire surveys and evaluated through Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM). Thereafter, risk mitigation strategies are identified through conducted empirical studies and evaluated through Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). Research Implications: This is the first study which has developed a comprehensive risk management framework in the healthcare supply chain that effectively integrates supply chain risk factors identification, risk assessment as well as mitigation strategy identification and evaluation. The novelty of the developed framework lies in the fact that a systematic and practical decision making tools are proposed supporting hospital managers making strategic decisions on healthcare supply chain risk management. Furthermore, compared with several studies using secondary data, this thesis uses empirical data to conduct the identification and evaluation of risk mitigation strategies, enabling the results closes to the reality of the situation in the healthcare setting. Practical Implications: The profile of risk sources, the priority weighting and inter-relationship among these risks and, the ranking of mitigation strategies provide a guideline for hospital managers to anticipate and proactively deal with potential risks. The proposed framework applies to both the UK and China healthcare industries, the finding can also be applied in other countries and regions.

▼ This thesis consists of two essays. In the first essay I try to explain why risk managers exist and provide a reason for risk management failure. Banks rely on risk managers to prevent their employees from making high risk low value investments. Why can't the CEOs directly incentivize their employees to choose the most profitable investment? I show that having a separate risk manager is more profitable for banks and is also socially efficient. This is because there is conflict between proving incentive to choose the most profitable investment and providing incentives to exert effort on those investments. Hence, if the tasks are split between a risk manager who approves the investments and a loan officer (or trader) who exerts effort, then both optimal investment choice and optimal effort can be achieved. I further examine some reasons for risk management failure wherein a CEO may ignore the risk manager when the latter is risk averse and suggests safe investments. As is usually the case before a financial crisis, my model predicts that the CEO is more likely to ignore the risk manager when the risky investments are yielding higher profits. The second essay studies the impact of expectation of bailout of a credit insurance firm on the investment strategies of the counterparty banks. If the failure of credit insurance firm may result in the bankruptcy of its counterparty banks, then the regulator will be forced to bail it out. This imperfectly targeted time inconsistent policy incentivizes the banks to make correlated investments ex ante. All banks want their assets to fail exactly at the time when the bailout is occurring to indirectly benefit from the bailout of the insurance firm and hence they make correlated investments. I build a model in which correlated investment by banks, under priced insurance contracts and a systemically important insurance firm arise endogenously and show that while credit insurance helps in risk sharing during good times, it can also create systemic risk. I also show that putting a limit on size of insurance firm can mitigate this problem.

Ph.D. (Mathematical Statistics)

This thesis considers the modelling and prediction of consumer credit risk events. We model consumer credit risk events (like a missed payment, a repayment or a default) by means of a discrete, real time, staggered entry counting process. Merton s (1974) structural approach is the foundation of numerous credit-risk models, as well as the Basel capital accords. The underlying assumptions of this approach are that both liability and asset levels are observable to some extent and that default, which occurs if liability levels are larger than asset levels, can occur only once. These assumptions are inappropriate for consumer credit risk, where asset and liability levels are not observable and multiple defaults may occur. We nd that the so-called reduced-form models initially developed by Artzner and Delbaen (1995) and Jarrow and Turnbull (1995), which impose no structure on the default event, are better suited to model and predict consumer credit risk. All reduced-form models can be represented as counting processes. Counting processes are continuous in nature, so we discretize these processes before applying them to the regularly spaced, discrete monthly data. We show that the use of survival analysis tech- niques such as Cox s (1972) proportional hazard model, which is a special case in counting processes, are not well suited to model credit risk. This is because survival analysis is mostly concerned with the prediction of the time until a single event occurs. Accordingly, in survival analysis the time domain used is event time . Hence, all observations need to be aligned to some starting time. We prefer to work in calendar time and are concerned with the timing (in calendar time) of multiple events. We identify and implement a dynamic, discrete statistical model based on calendar time that accounts for staggered entries, multiple entries into and exits from the portfolio, as well as multiple default events on an account level. This approach, from Arjas and Haara (1987), makes use of both idiosyncratic and systematic covariates, which facilitates stress-testing. This approach has, to our knowledge, never been applied to credit risk before and we apply it to a mortgage loan portfolio of a major bank in South Africa.
