Followng he common approach we quanfy he cred rsk assocaed wh he porfolo by he probably of defaul and he loss gven defaul each of whch s drven by a facor common for all debs n he porfolo and a facor ndvdual o each deb. In lne wh he emprcal evdence he ndvdual facors are assumed o be AR() processes. The common facors on he oher hand may be dependen on he exernal (macroeconomc) envronmen. We apply our model o he US naonwde morgage porfolo fng he dynamcs of he facors wh a VECM model wh several macroeconomc ndcaors as exogenous varables.. Inroducon In 2009 when he fnancal crss fully h he US economy losses from real esae loans n he US ncreased by a facor of en compared wh he relavely que perod endng n The am of our paper s o conrbue o he dscusson on he mechancs causng evens of hs ype. One of possble ways of sudyng hese mechancs s o denfy he key rsk facors drvng losses and use an approprae model of he facors o forecas fuure loss behavor. We propose a srucural facor model of he Meron-Vascek ype (for smlar models see Vascek 987; Frye 2000; Pykhn 2003; Jmenez and Menca 2009; or Wzany 20). In hese srucural models defauls and losses gven defaul of ndvdual loans depend on he wealh of credors and on he prce of collaerals wh whch he loans are secured respecvely. In our approach he wealh and he collaeral prce are each assumed o be drven by wo facors one ndvdual o each debor and he oher common o all debors. Generally he common facors may be undersood as a quanfed nfluence of he exernal envronmen e.g. he macroeconomc suaon and he ndvdual facors mgh be nerpreed as an ndvdual s ably o manan wealh.e. feaures specfc o a collaeral. The dea of connecng srucural cred rsk models wh macroeconomc models s que common n he leraure; see for example e.g. Pesaran e al. (2003) or Vrolanen (2004). From he recen works s worh nong for example Hamerle e al. (20) who showed on a bond porfolo ha changes n he macroeconomc envronmen play a sgnfcan role by comparng a pon-n-me mulfacor cred rsk model wh a hrough-he-cycle one or Sommar and Shahnazaran (2009) who used he vecor error correcon model o esmae he dependency of he expeced defaul frequency of a porfolo of nonfnancal lsed companes * Ths work was suppored by he Czech Scence Foundaon under Gran No. GA5-033S.

2 on several macroeconomc facors from whch hey found he mos nfluenal neres rae. Compared o he aforemenoned models he orgnal conrbuon of our approach s hreefold. Frs we ake he dynamcs of he debors wealh whn he porfolo no accoun; n parcular we assume he ndvdual facors o be an AR() process whch corresponds o he emprcal evdence (see Hochguerel & Ohlsson 20). Second we nroduce a mul-generaon approach.e. we le new debors ener he porfolo n each perod. Fnally we use conegraon analyss wh exogenous macroeconomc varables o f he jon dynamcs of he common facors whch o he bes of our knowledge has never been done before. In he emprcal par of our paper we apply our model o he 30+ delnquency and charge-off 2 raes of he US naonwde resdenal morgage porfolo. As a resul we fnd ha here exss a se of sascally sgnfcan macroeconomc nfluencers of he rsk facors namely GDP CPI nflaon and he FED base neres rae. The paper s organzed as follows: In Secon 2 we nroduce he model. In Secon 3 we descrbe he emprcal analyss daa and resuls. Secon 4 concludes he paper. 2. The Model As was already premsed we model he dynamcs of a porfolo of loans. For smplcy we assume ha he fnanced amoun s he same for all loans n he porfolo a un whou loss of generaly. New loans ener he porfolo a each me N. The rao of he newly comng loans ( N ) o he overall sze of he porfolo s assumed o be /mn m for each where m s he duraon of he loans laer assumed o be equal o 30. Smlarly o Vascek (987) we assume ha he dsposable wealh of he -h debor from he -h generaon (.e. wh he frs A repaymen a me ) follows a rended Geomercal Brownan Moon wh a common facor as a rend.e. where Y (common facor) s a general sochasc process Z A exp Y Z () (ndvudual facor) s a sochasc process such ha Z ~ N0 for some 0 U ~ N0 Z Z U for some consans R 0 (noe ha he dsrbuon of he nal wealh dffers among he generaons as s dependen on he common facor). Analogously o he wealh and smlarly o Fronczak and Rosek (205) we assume ha he prce of he collaeral of he -h loan from he -h generaon s Loans more han 30 days pas due. 2 Ne charge-offs of loans from books. 566 Fnance a úvěr-czech Journal of Economcs and Fnance no. 6

3 nally equal o he (un) sze of he loan and laer follows dynamcs smlar o he wealh: P P exp I I E (2) where I (he collaeral common facor) s a general sochasc process and E s a sochasc process fulfllng E E V V N R ( E 0 by defnon). As s usual n srucural facor models we assume ha 2 2 N N 2 2 N 2 T U V U V U V U V V U ~ 0 and are muually ndependen and ndependen of Y I. The -h loan from he -h generaon defauls a me f he dsposable wealh of he correspondng debor does no suffce for repayng he morgage specfcally f A B (3) B where denoes he lables of he debor. Generally may nclude varous lables; n he presen paper however we ake only accumulaed nsalmens no B b where b he one-perod nsallmen (noe ha s accoun.e. deermnsc hen). The correspondng percenage loss assocaed wh he loan a equals Q max 0 h P G (4) h where Q s he ndcaor of nequaly (3).e. he zero-one varable ndcang he defaul and h s he prncpal ousandng a compued n he sandard way (see Šmíd 205). The overall defaul rae and he charge-off rae on he porfolo are hen defned as Q N Q (5) N G N N G B B (6) respecvely where for each whch dd no defaul unl.

Thanks o he one-o-one propery he values of he common facors may be unquely rereved from he values of he loss raes n he lm case. Consequenly havng a me seres of he loss raes a hand s fuure values may be predced by ransformng no he facors predcng he facors and ransformng he predcons back no he loss raes. 3. Daa and Emprcal Esmaon As prevously menoned we appled our model o he US naonwde porfolo of morgages. 3. The Daase The daase was provded by he Uned Saes Federal Reserve Sysem. The me range covered was he perod beween 99 and 204 n quarerly granulary so he number of observaons was 96. The daase consss of me seres of wo quanes namely he morgage delnquency rae whch s a proporon of loans more han 30 days pas due (30+) on he oal morgage balance and he morgage charge-off rae whch s an annualzed proporon of loans charged off ne of recoveres on he average oal balance. In pracce here exs accouns whch afer becomng delnquen are no charged off bu are cured.e. he amoun pas due s pad and subsequen nsallmens connue o be pad on me. As cured accoun would brng addonal complexy o he model we om he cure rae and assume ha he cure amoun s repad wholly n he 30+ delnquency sae. Table and Fgure summarze he descrpve sascs and show he developmen of he npu daa. The 30+ delnquency rae was used as a proxy for he defaul rae and he charge-off rae represened he real loss from he unpad balance. From Fgure s obvous ha here exss a vsual suspcon ha he wo me seres are srongly correlaed.

Accordng o he naure of he cred rsk he defaul rae and he charge-off rae 4 should be nerconneced.e. durng mes of economc expansons when he fnancal ncome of households and real esae prces ncrease he expeced decrease of he defaul rae should be accompaned by he expeced decrease of he charge-off rae and vce versa for he perods of economc downurns. The hypohess of nerconnecedness s suppored by he fac ha he muual correlaon beween he facors s 57%. To examne he muual relaonshp beween he facors Y and I n more deal we used conegraon analyss.

We consdered GDP he house prce ndex (HPI) consumer prces (nflaon) he FED base neres rae ndusral producon and personal ncome as represenaves of he exernal envronmen. The daase of macroeconomc varables was obaned from he US Bureau of Economc Analyss. The esmaon resuls are summarzed n Table 2. The predcve power of he esmae measured by R-square s hgh n he case of Y (over 90%) bu que low n he case of I (jus below 23%). The resuls show how srong he muual relaonshp of Y and I s and hey also prove he dependence of boh Y and I on he exernal envronmen. The mean squared errors of he equaons for Y and I are and respecvely. The dscovered relaonshp beween he facors and he macroeconomc envronmen s largely n lne wh our expecaons and s easly nerpreable cred rsk grows wh a rsng neres rae 4 LGD can be easly obaned by dvdng he charge-off rae by he defaul rae. 5 The deals of he Johansen conegraon es are provded n he Appendx. 570 Fnance a úvěr-czech Journal of Economcs and Fnance no. 6

The reason for hs mgh be he naure of he charge-offs: as he charge-off s a purely accounng operaon here exss hgher proporonal varance n he charge-off rae compared o he delnquency rae whch s smooher. Thus he hsorcal varaon n he charge-off rae mos probably nroduced a negave auocorrelaon n he I me seres as well as he negave correlaon beween Y and I. From our esmaon we consruced wo ses of predcons of Y and I. In he frs se he predcon horzon was four quarers and he exogenous varables were se so ha he exernal envronmen was unchanged. The second predcon horzon was wo quarers and was based on he values of he macroeconomc ndcaors (GDP nflaon and neres rae) from Q and Q The former predcon allows us o see he developmen of Y and I ceers parbus whereas he laer can be compared o he real developmen and hus s able o backes he model.

The emprcal analyss confrmed he well-known fac ha here exss a clear and esmable relaonshp beween he cred rsk and he macroeconomc envronmen. We found ou ha he mos sgnfcan macroeconomc varables nfluencng cred rsk facors are GDP nflaon and he neres rae. Addonally we proved he nerconnecedness beween defauls and recorded losses (or n oher words loss gven defaul). Fnally we demonsraed he predcve power of our model.
