摘要:We study the asymptotic behavior of the loss from defaults of a large portfolio. Inspired by the work of Bassamboo, Juneja, and Zeevi (2008, Operations Research), we consider a static structural model in which latent variables governing individual defaults follow a mixture structure incorporating idiosyncratic risk, systematic risk, and common shock. In our setting, the loss rate of each obligor is linked to its severity of default through a general loss settlement function. The portfolio effect, namely the decrease in overall risk due to the portfolio size increase, is taken into account by assuming that the individual default thresholds are proportional to a positive deterministic function diverging to infinity. Furthermore, the obligor-specific variables form a sequence of independent and identically distributed vectors, which still allows heterogeneity of the portfolio though. We derive sharp asymptotics for the tail probability of the portfolio loss as the portfolio size becomes large for two cases: (1) the common shock variable has a regularly varying tail dominating that of the systematic risk factor; (2) the systematic risk factor has a regularly varying tail dominating that of the common shock variable. Our main finding is that the occurrence of large losses can be attributed to either the common shock variable or the systematic risk factor, whichever has a heavier tail.
