The Subprime Credit Crisis of 07
Stuart M. Turnbull University of Houston - C.T. Bauer College of Business Michel Crouhy Natixis Robert A. Jarrow Cornell University - Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management July 9, 2008 Abstract: This paper examines the different factors that have contributed to the subprime mortgage credit crisis: the search for yield enhancement, agency problems, lax underwriting standards, failure by the rating agencies to identify a changing environment, poor risk management by financial institutions, lack of transparency, the limitation of extant valuation models and the failure of regulators to understand the implications of the changing environment for the financial system. The paper addresses the different issues and offers suggestions on how to move forward.
