Credit Risk Contributions to Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall

by Alexandre Kurth of UBS AG, and
Dirk Tasche of Deutsche Bundesbank

November 22, 2002

Abstract: This paper presents analytical solutions to the problem of how to calculate sensible VaR (Value-at-Risk) and ES (Expected Shortfall) contributions in the CreditRisk+ methodology. Via the ES contributions, ES itself can be exactly computed in finitely many steps. The methods are illustrated by numerical examples.
