The Cost of Operational Risk Loss InsuranceRobert A. JarrowCornell University - Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management Jeffrey OxmanUniversity of St. Thomas (Minnesota) - University of St. Thomas, Minneapolis Yildiray YildirimSyracuse University - Whitman School of Management May 5, 2008 Review of Derivatives Research, Vol. 13, No. 3, 2010 Johnson School Research Paper Series No. 19-2011 Abstract: Using the Algo FIRST operational risk database, this paper computes the cost of operational risk loss insurance for a sample of banks over a 1-year horizon. The estimated cost of 1-year operational risk loss insurance for an average bank is 1.24% as a percentage of firm value on December 31, 2006, while an average AA bank is 0.24%. These estimates far exceed the typical 1-year default insurance premiums as reflected in market CDS rates for similarly rated banks. These insurance premiums confirm the economic importance of operational risk in the management of financial institutions.
