Practical Calculation of Expected and Unexpected Losses in Operational Risk by Simulation Methods

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper explores the difficulties involved in quantitative measurement of operational risk and proposes simulation methods as a practical solution to obtain the distribution of total losses. It also introduces an example of the estimation of expected and unexpected losses, as well as Value-at-Risk (VaR), arising from operational risk.
