    Operations research in consumer finance: challenges for operational research

    No full text
    Consumer finance has become one of the most important areas of banking both because of the amount of money being lent and the impact of such credit on the global economy and the realisation that the credit crunch of 2008 was partly due to incorrect modelling of the risks in such lending. This paper reviews the development of credit scoring,-the way of assessing risk in consumer finance- and what is meant by a credit score. It then outlines ten challenges for Operational Research to support modelling in consumer finance. Some of these are to developing more robust risk assessment systems while others are to expand the use of such modelling to deal with the current objectives of lenders and the new decisions they have to make in consumer financ

    Optimal score cutoffs and pricing in regulatory capital in retail credit portfolios

    No full text
    This paper addresses the risk cutoff policies of a retail bank whose objectives are to maximize return on equity for shareholders and live within regulatory capital requirements, such as those of the Basel Capital Accord, to meet unexpected default losses. It investigates the changes that have to be made in the operating decision of which applicants for loans to accept and which to reject because of the changes in the financial regulations imposed on the bank. It is assumed that portfolios consist entirely of consumer credit accounts (mortgages, auto loans, revolving credit etc) for which acquisition risk scores are available to the lender and regulator. The solutions that we obtain not only yield an optimal cutoff score for default risk but also optimal pricing conditions for additional equity capital in the event that the existing level can not satisfy the regulatory requirements. The paper concludes with several numerical examples illustrating the effects of current and proposed Basel regulations. We believe that some important insights are derived from this formulation linking the financial variables such as the lending and borrowing rates, and the debt and equity structure of the lender and the operational decisions of which level of risk to set as the cutoff in the consumer credit portfolios

    In microprocessors and DRAMs, on-chip temperature sensors are essential components, ensuring reliability by monitoring thermal gradients and hot spots. Such sensors must be as small as possible, since multiple sensors are required for dense thermal monitoring. However, conventional BJT-based temperature sensors are not compatible with the sub-1V supply of advanced processes. Subthreshold MOSFETs can operate from lower supplies, but at high temperatures their performance is limited by leakage [1,2]. Thermal diffusivity (TD) sensors achieve sub-1V operation and small area with moderate accuracy, but require milliwatts of power [3]. Recently, resistor-based sensors based on RC WienBridge (WB) filters have realized high resolution and energy efficiency [4,5]. Fundamentally, they are robust to process and supply-voltage scaling. However, their readout circuitry has been based on continuous-time (CT) ΔΣ ADCs or frequency-locked loops (FLLs), which require precision analog circuits and occupy considerable area (&gt;0.7mm 2 ).Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Microelectronic
