The credit risk$$^{+}$$ model with general sector correlations. (English) Zbl 1204.91134
Summary: We consider an enhancement of the credit risk$$^{+}$$ model to incorporate correlations between sectors. We model the sector default rates as linear combinations of a common set of independent variables that represent macro-economic variables or risk factors. We also derive the formula for exact VaR contributions at the obligor level.
