As the size and complexity of financial institutions, more specifically banks, grow, the amount of data that information systems (IS) of such institutions need to handle also increases. This leads to the emergence of a variety of data quality (DQ) problems. Due to the possible economic losses due to such DQ issues, banks need to assure quality of their data via data quality assessment (DQA) techniques. As DQ related problems diversify and get complicated, the requirement for contemporary data quality assessment methods becomes more and more evident. Total Data Quality Management (TDQM) program is one of the approaches where data quality assessment of banking data is performed since the phases of the program, i.e. definition, measurement, analysis and improvement are well suited for identification of DQ issues. This study presents a customized approach to TDQM for data quality assessment in credit risk management. The study grounds the selection of DQ dimensions for credit risk on identification of data taxonomies for credit risk in accordance with the Basel Accords. Identification of data taxonomies from an IS viewpoint results in determination of data entities and attributes, which enabled the development of DQ metrics based on the DQ dimension selected in the definition phase. DQ metrics are transformed into quality performance indicators in order to assess quality of credit risk data by means of DQA methods in the measurement phase. Analysis of the results of DQA reveals the underlying causes of poor DQ performance in the analysis phase of TDQM. Identification of DQ problems and their major causes is followed by suggestion of appropriate improvement techniques based on the size, complexity and criticality of the problems in the context of credit risk management. TDQM approach customized for credit risk context in this study is implemented for a real bank case. Results of the implementation indicate the significance of and requirement for implementation of such methods sector-wide in order to manage the risks related to poor DQ. Moreover, a survey addressing banks to evaluate validity, applicability and acceptance of the approach as well as their own ongoing data governance activities has been carried out with the participation of senior risk managers. Findings of the survey reveal that the banks surveyed have found the approach to be considerably satisfactory in addressing data quality issues in credit risk management.

Credit Risk Market and the Recent Loan Profile in the Turkish Banking Sector Özdemir, Özlem (2009-05-01) Very little research has been done on the financial stability implications of credit risk transfer markets. In particular there is a paucity of work considering the interactions between the various credit risk transfer markets or instruments. Regarding credit derivatives, the small number of existing studies can be explained by a lack of quantitative data and by the brief history of the market" (Kiff et al., 2002, page 2). This paper tries to explain the development of credit risk transfer instruments and h...
Credit default swap valuation: an application via stochastic intensity models Namuslu, Merve; Danışoğlu, Seza; Ayaydın Hacıömeroğlu, Hande; Department of Financial Mathematics (2016) The objective of this thesis is to study the pricing of a single-name credit default swap (CDS) contract via the discounted cash flow method with reduced-form survival probability functions depending on stochastic intensity. The ability of the model in predicting the market-observed spreads is tested as well by using bond and CDS data from the US market. In credit risk modeling, the CIR (Cox-Ingersoll-Ross) model is used. The main reason for using a reduced-form model in pricing the CDS contracts is the adv...
Stochastic credit default swap pricing Gökgöz, İsmail Hakkı; Uğur, Ömür; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz; Department of Financial Mathematics (2012) Credit risk measurement and management has great importance in credit market. Credit derivative products are the major hedging instruments in this market and credit default swap contracts (CDSs) are the most common type of these instruments. As observed in credit crunch (credit crisis) that has started from the United States and expanded all over the world, especially crisis of Iceland, CDS premiums (prices) are better indicative of credit risk than credit ratings. Therefore, CDSs are important indicators f...
Statistical methods in credit rating Sezgin, Özge; Yıldırak, Şahap Kasırga; Department of Financial Mathematics (2006) Credit risk is one of the major risks banks and financial institutions are faced with. With the New Basel Capital Accord, banks and financial institutions have the opportunity to improve their risk management process by using Internal Rating Based (IRB) approach. In this thesis, we focused on the internal credit rating process. First, a short overview of credit scoring techniques and validation techniques was given. By using real data set obtained from a Turkish bank about manufacturing firms, default predi...
Pricing and hedging of constant proportion debt obligations İşcanoğlu Çekiç, Ayşegül; Uğur, Ömür; Korn, Ralf; Department of Financial Mathematics (2011) A Constant Proportion Debt Obligation is a credit derivative which has been introduced to generate a surplus return over a riskless market return. The surplus payments should be obtained by synthetically investing in a risky asset (such as a credit index) and using a linear leverage strategy which is capped for bounding the risk. In this thesis, we investigate two approaches for investigation of constant proportion debt obligations. First, we search for an optimal leverage strategy which minimises the mean-...
