Accounting for credit losses under U.S. GAAP will soon transition from an incurred to an expected loss model. The new expected loss model was motivated by concerns that reporting only incurred losses does not provide investors with sufficient information about banks' true credit risk. In this paper, I develop a measure of lifetime expected credit losses consistent with those that will be required under the new expected loss model. Using this measure, I find that unrecognized expected credit losses are negatively associated with bank stock prices, suggesting that investors are able to extract information about expected losses despite a lack of recognition in the financial statements. The pricing of unrecognized expected losses is stronger for larger banks, consistent with lower costs of extracting this information for banks with better information environments. I also comment on the potential implications of the expected loss model for regulatory capital adequacy and lending procyclicality.

Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: We discuss the main approaches to quantify the risk of losses arising from a defaulting counterparty to a financial transaction that have been developed over the last 25 years. Every existing method faces major problems in assessing the numerous and partly non-observable factors influencing credit risk. One shortcoming common to all methods is the classical normal assumption for interest rate changes and asset returns. Therefore we suggest the introduction of stable Paretian models to yield more realistic credit spreads.

The credit risk measure, Expected Loss (EL) is defined as the product of the three risk parameters: probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD). EL is central to risk management, profit estimation, calculating regulatory capital requirements and the standard accounting rules for credit (IFRS 9). Although correlations between the three risk parameters is evident, there is limited published work exploring these correlations and their impact on estimating EL accurately and without bias. Often EL is calculated simply assuming independence. In this study, EL is derived from first principles, without assuming independence between the three risk parameters. The main results are, firstly, that correlation between PD and LGD has no consequence on the calculation of EL, if LGD is treated as conditional on default. However, correlation between LGD and EAD does have an impact, requiring an adjustment to enable an accurate and unbiassed estimate. Additionally, there is no selection bias resulting from using LGD and EAD models built conditional on default, when applied across the total credit population. These results are demonstrated through a simulation study and by application to a real credit card data set.
