Banks' pooling of corporate debt: An application of the restated diversification theorem

Author

  • Frederik Lundtofte

Summary, in English

We analyze banks' pooling of corporate loans and propose Pareto-improving sharing rules that depend only on the relative sizes of the loans. Implementation of these sharing rules do not require any precise knowledge of default probabilities or default correlations. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
