テーマ

「THE FINANCIAL CRISIS: AN ACTUARIAL PERSPECTIVE」

The current financial crisis clearly shows that risk management structures, as well as risk management methodology within banks and the insurance industry have not functioned as was hoped for in a period of extreme stress. Also the regulatory framework put into place over the last 20 years was not able to prevent a considerable systemic risk. Not only were insurance companies (like AIG) deeply involved in the credit crisis, but also insurance models (like the Gaussian Copula model for CDO pricing) got a lot of blame. In this talk, I will review some of these aspects from a personal, academic-actuarial point of view and try to offer light on the questions "Who is to blame?" and "How to go forward?".
