Cause without Default

چکیده
Must causal models distinguish default from deviant events? Much recent work on actual causation is conducted within the structural equations framework (Spirtes et al 1993, Pearl 2000), via the notion of a causal model. In standard causal models one sets up a system of variables, allots values to these variables, and connects these variables via structural equations. Menzies (2004, 2007), Hitchcock (2007), Hall (2007), and Halpern (2008) have all argued, however, that standard causal models must be supplemented with a distinction between default (or normal, or expected) and deviant (or abnormal, or surprising) events. We aim to critically evaluate this proposal.

Investigating The Asymmetric Effects of Macroeconomic Variables on Bank Default Rates During High and Low Default Periods
In recent decades, the high rate of inflation has been one of the concerns of Iran's economy, and one of the main causes of inflation has been the imbalance of banks. The level of non-current claims of banks has been increasing due to the economic recession, credit facilities and the lack of optimal allocation of facilities, and therefore it has unbalanced the balance sheets of banks, hence the...

Therefore to control credit risk, the factors influencing this type of risk must be identified. Several factors affect credit default in the non-government sector. This study examines the asymmetric ef...
متن کاملAn Application of Genetic Network Programming Model for Pricing of Basket Default Swaps (BDS)
The credit derivatives market has experienced remarkable growth over the past decade. As such, there is a growing interest in tools for pricing of the most prominent credit derivative, the credit default swap (CDS). In this paper, we propose a heuristic algorithm for pricing of basket default swaps (BDS). For this purpose, genetic network programming (GNP), which is one of the recent evolutiona...
متن کاملCredit Risk Predictive Ability of G-ZPP Model Versus V-ZPP Model
Credit risk management is becoming more and more important in recent years. When a company deals with a financial problem, it may not be able to fulfill its financial obligations, which can cause direct and indirect financial losses to shareholders, creditors, investors and other people in the community. Advanced credit risk models that are based on market value include improving credit quality...
متن کاملAsymmetry of causal inference in reading
This study investigated how knowledge of causality representations affects the reading in Japanese. In Experiment 1, 24 participants read events presented in cause-to-effect or effect-to-cause order without causal conjunctions. The latter received longer reading times and more regressions than the former even when probability and predictability were balanced. Experiment 2 examined whether this ...
