Risk Quantification and
Allocation Methods for
Practitioners
Risk Quantification and Allocation Methods for
Practitioners offers a practical approach to risk
management in the financial industry.
This in-depth study provides quantitative
tools to better describe qualitative issues, as well
as clear explanations of how to transform recent
theoretical developments into computational
practice, and key tools for dealing with the issues
of risk measurement and capital allocation.
Jaume Belles-Sampera is assistant professor in the Department
of Econometrics, Statistics, and Applied Economics at the University
of Barcelona, where Montserrat Guillén is professor in the same
department and Miguel Santolino is associate professor.
