Loss Given Default: Modeling, Validation and Stress Testing
This workshop has already taken place.

This LGD workshop provides a full overview of all LGD related concepts, from LGD model development to validation and stress testing, and includes our recent research on a benchmarking study of state-of-the-art regression techniques on five real-life LGD datasets. We are also very pleased to have dr. Tony Bellotti as a guest speaker, who will discuss his renowned work on macro-economic modeling for LGD and stress testing.
