Abstract

By the current study we analyze the performance and plausibility of the empirical results provided by the [5] Duffie and Lando (2001) credit risk structural model with asymmetric information. By construction, such a model can allow the endogenous understanding of the default event (typically for a structural model), the plausibility of the default intensity existence (typically for a reduced form model), as well as the tractability of analytical formulas to be used at the estimation of the credit risk parameters. Under this framework we analyze the empirical model results, by the quantitative creditworthiness assessment of the banks from the Romanian banking system, as financial institutions of a low default portfolio. For the model implementation we apply a special calibration approach for the accounting white noise parameter. The empirical study is being conducted by the use of the banks’ financial statement time series over the last Romanian economic cycle, during the period 2002 – 2012.
