Introduction to Credit Risk and Applications in Python - Seminar

This course focuses on modeling and measuring credit risk, with an emphasis on practical implementation using Python. Topics include basic concepts such as probability of default and default correlations, risk measures, in particular Value-at-Risk and expected shortfall, as well as firm value models as the Merton model for individual entities’ default risk and factor models for portfolio credit risk.

By the end of the course, students will be familiar with standard methods for modelling credit risk, in particular firm value models such as the Merton model but also factor models for portfolio credit risk management will be covered.
