Lecture: Correlations in credit stress testing
Stress tests, as an integral part of risk management and banking supervision, are by nature conducted within models and as such vulnerable to model side effects. In this lecture, we shed some light on the model behaviour in stress testing models that are currently in use in the finance industry.

This year's Hilda Geiringer Lecture will be introduced by Prof. Annette Vogt, who will open the event with a short talk with the title "Hilda Pollaczek-Geiringer - the first female Privatdozent for applied mathematics at a German university". In her intervention she will discuss Hilda Pollaczek-Geiringer's contributions to applied mathematics and statistics during her stay in Berlin. She offered several lectures on different topics of applied mathematics and statistics. And she was one of the leader of the special seminar on applied mathematics between 1927 and 1933. Her last course at the Berlin University was on mathematical statistics in winter 1932/33. Because of the Nazi's she was forced to leave the country, she escaped into exile, first in Brussels, from 1934 to 1939 in Istanbul, and finally to the USA.
