The Institute of Operational Risk is delighted to invite its members to an evening seminar on Thursday, April 25th from 16:00 to 17:30, followed by drinks, generously sponsored by Wolters Kluwer Financial Services
Use of the scenario analysis in operational risk is an important component of risk management and measurement. The presenter, Dr. Kabir Dutta, will show how, through the use of the change of measure method, a commonly used technique in financial and insurance economics, one can model scenario data in operational risk measurements. The talk will focus not only on the modeling aspects of scenario data but also on the economic rationality of the method and the role of the scenario analysis and stress testing in an AMA framework. The discussion will be based on: Dutta Kabir and D. Babbel, “Scenario Analysis in the Measurement of Operational Risk Capital: A Change of Measure Approach” Working paper, Financial Institution Center, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania 2010, also forthcoming in the Journal of Risk and Insurance.

Prior to that, Dr. Dutta held a number of roles, including senior consultant in the Securities Practice Group of National Economic Research Associates (NERA), where he consulted on cases involving the use of options for market manipulation, the valuation of derivatives, insurance annuities, breach of energy-related contracts, and risk management related to energy and other industries.
