Abstract: Financial institutions have developed sophisticated techniques to quantify and manage credit risk. From a regulator's perspective a clear understanding of the techniques used would enhance supervisory oversight of financial institutions. The role of a credit risk model is to take as input the conditions of the general economy and those of the firm in question, and generate as output a credit spread. This handbook describes the different methods used to arrive at this notion of a credit spread. the field, discussing how text mining is useful for addressing research topics of interest to central banks, and providing a step-by-step primer on how to mine text, including an overview of unsupervised and supervised techniques.
