Abstract

The article describes a new approach to asses firms' and private customers' default proabilities that integrates country risk and macro- and microeconomic dependencies between counterparties. The estimation of default probabilities is presented as a first step in the evaluation of credit portfolio risks and the modeling of dependencies between clients. Consistent estimation techniques are provided and their properties analyzed.
