Abstract

We study the implications of the value at risk (VaR) concept for the optimum amount of equity capital of a banking firm in the presence of credit risk. As a risk management tool VaR allows to control for the probability of bankruptcy. It is shown that the required amount of equity capital depends upon managerial and market factors, and that equity and asset/liability management has to be addressed simultaneously.
