问题如下:
In the presentation, Lok is asked why the research team chose to use a reduced-form credit model instead of a structural model. Which statement is he likely to make in reply?
选项:
A.Structural models are outdated having been developed in the 1970s; reduced-form models are more modern, having been developed in the 1990s.
B.Structural models are overly complex because they require use of option pricing models, whereas reduced-form models use regression analysis.
C.Structural models require "inside" information known to company management, whereas reduced-form models can use publicly available data on the firm.
解释:
C is correct. Structural models require information best known to the managers of the company. Reduced-form models only require information generally available in financial markets.
A is literally true but when models were developed is immaterial. Structural models are currently used in practice by commercial banks and credit rating agencies.
B is incorrect because computer technology facilities valuation using option pricing models as well as regression analysis.
是因为C更对所以选C吗?感觉如果在考BSM的地方就会提到BSM计算量大。
