Objective
In this student seminar we will review the main probabilistic and statistical tools in use for the quantitative modeling of operational risk. Under the Basel II guidelines for banking supervision, Operational Risk is defined as "The risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events." The tools presented will mainly be borrowed from acrtuarial science.
Content
Part I: Introduction to operational risk modeling. Part II: Probabilistic tools for operational risk modeling. Part III: Statistical methods for calibrating models of operational risk.
