Which of the following credit risk models relies upon the analysis of credit rating migrations to assess credit risk?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

For EVT, we use the block maxima or the peaks-over-threshold methods. These provide us the data points that can be fitted to a GEV distribution.

Least squares and maximum likelihood are methods that are used for curve fitting, and they have a variety of applications across risk management.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I feel like the KMV model was more about default probabilities rather than migrations.

The contingent claims approach? More like the 'contingent on me passing this exam' approach!

KMV's EDF based approach? That's like the Michael Keaton of credit risk models - good, but not the best.
