The objective of this paper is to investigate the practitioner’s understanding of the difference (if any) between importance and practices of operational risk management programs in Ghanaian banks using a survey research design. The survey instrument, used in collecting data from 170 respondents, was duly validated. The results confirmed that there exists a high level of ORM awareness among the respondents. The banks deploy different risk management solutions to control and mitigate operational risk. The study also concluded that there was a clear difference between perceive ORM importance and ORM practices. This meant that there exists a gap between ORM awareness and ORM program practices. The lack of effective implementation of ORM programs are likely to cause an operational risk contagion among banks with very catastrophic impact on the whole financial sector. The study therefore, recommends that bank mangers commensurate ORM awareness creation with practical implementation of ORM programs and policies in their banks to mitigate operational risk hazards.","PeriodicalId":306152,"journal":{"name":"Risk Management eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131038072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dingli","doi":"10.5121/IJAIA.2021.12102","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5121/IJAIA.2021.12102","url":null,"abstract":"With the recent boosted enthusiasm in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Financial Technology (FinTech), applications such as credit scoring have gained substantial academic interest. However, despite the ever growing achievements, the biggest obstacle in most AI systems is their lack of interpretability. This deficiency of transparency limits their application in different domains including credit scoring. Credit scoring systems help financial experts make better decisions regarding whether or not to accept a loan application so that loans with a high probability of default are not accepted. Apart from the noisy and highly imbalanced data challenges faced by such credit scoring models, recent regulations such as the `right to explanation' introduced by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) have added the need for model interpretability to ensure that algorithmic decisions are understandable and coherent. A recently introduced concept is eXplainable AI (XAI), which focuses on making black-box models more interpretable. In this work, we present a credit scoring model that is both accurate and interpretable. For classification, state-of-the-art performance on the Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) and Lending Club (LC) Datasets is achieved using the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model. The model is then further enhanced with a 360-degree explanation framework, which provides different explanations (i.e. global, local feature-based and local instance- based) that are required by different people in different situations. Evaluation through the use of functionally-grounded, application-grounded and human-grounded analysis shows that the explanations provided are simple and consistent as well as correct, effective, easy to understand, sufficiently detailed and trustworthy.","PeriodicalId":306152,"journal":{"name":"Risk Management eJournal","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122464123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main empirical results are as follows. First, most traditional GARCH models have difficulties forecasting the VaR of the crude oil market. Second, although GARCH-MIDAS models generally produce more accurate forecasts than the traditional GARCH models, some specific GARCH-MIDAS models have poor forecasting accuracies. Third, we find that the mixed frequency information on the demand side of the crude oil market is most helpful for forecasting the VaR.

To match the market stochasticity we introduce the new market-based price probability measure entirely determined by probabilities of random market time-series of the trade value and volume. The distinctions between the market-based and frequency-based price probabilities result different assessments of VaR and thus can cause excess losses. Predictions of the market-based price probability at horizon T equal the forecasts of the market trade value and volume probability measures.","PeriodicalId":306152,"journal":{"name":"Risk Management eJournal","volume":"169 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121715213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Market risk is measured by Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) or Expected Shortfall at a confidence level of 97.5%. The regulatory backtest remains largely based on 99% VaR. As additional statistical procedures, in line with the Basel recommendations, supplementary VaR and CVaR backtests must be performed at different confidence levels. We apply these tests to various parametric distributions and use non-parametric measures of CVaR, including CVaR- and CVaR+ to supplement the modelling validation. Our data relate to a period of extreme market turbulence. After testing eight parametric distributions with these data, we find that the information obtained on their empirical performance is closely tied to the backtesting conclusions regarding the competing models.","PeriodicalId":306152,"journal":{"name":"Risk Management eJournal","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116865850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a sample of Japanese life insurers between 1999 and 2018, we provide initial evidence that the negative interest rate environment produces a much more serious consequence on insurers than the positive interest rate environment. Given that duration and convexity are two common measures widely used by insurers to manage their assets and liabilities, we highlight that the assumption of flat yield curve underlying the traditional measures (e.g. the Macaulay and modified durations and convexities) is problematic when interest rates turn negative. To address this issue, we propose an ALM framework using the duration and convexity based on the Vasicek stochastic model. Our results show that the strategy based on the Vasicek model outperforms the strategy using the modified duration and convexity in the negative interest rate environment.","PeriodicalId":306152,"journal":{"name":"Risk Management eJournal","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132264668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
