The novel method is based on wavelets, and we derive closed-form expressions to calculate the Value-at-Risk (VaR), the Expected Shortfall (ES) as well as the individual risk contributions to VaR (VaRC) and ES (ESC). We consider the multi-factor Gaussian and t-copula models for driving the defaults. The results obtained along the numerical experiments show the impressive accuracy and speed of this method when compared with crude Monte Carlo simulation (...)application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Elsevier B.V., 2020http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/esRisc de crèditEstadística no paramètricaMètode de MontecarloCredit riskNonparametric statisticsMonte Carlo methodModel-free computation of risk contributions in credit portfoliosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7007992020-06-08info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
