We study the limiting behaviour of a manpower system where the non-homogeneous Markov chain model proposed by Young and Vassiliou (1974) is applicable. This is done in the cases where the input is a time-homogeneous and time-inhomogeneous Poisson random variable. It is also found that the number in the various grades are asymptotically mutually independent Poisson variates.

Necessary And Sufficient

Necessary and sufficient conditions for stability, imposed firstly on the initial structure and the sequence of recruitment, and secondly on the initial structure and the sequence of expansion are provided in forms of two theorems. Also the limiting behaviour of the expected relative grade sizes is studied if we drop the conditions for stability imposed on the initial structure and keep the same sequence of expansion. Finally we examine the limiting behaviour of the expected grade sizes if we drop the assumption of a continuously expanding system.

Purpose This paper aims to introduce and tests models for point-in-time probability of default (PD) term structures as required by international accounting standards. Corresponding accounting standards prescribe that expected credit losses (ECLs) be recognized for the impairment of financial instruments, for which the probability of default strongly embodies the included default risk. This paper fills the research gap resulting from a lack of models that expand upon existing risk management techniques, link PD term structures of different risk classes and are compliant with accounting standards, e.g. offering the flexibility for business cycle-related variations. Design/methodology/approach The author modifies the non-homogeneous continuous-time Markov chain model (NHCTMCM) by Bluhm and Overbeck (2007a, 2007b) and introduces the generalized through-the-cycle model (GTTCM), which generalizes the homogeneous Markov chain approach to a point-in-time model. As part of the overall ECL estimation, an empirical study using Standard and Poor’s (S&P) transition data compares the performance of these models using the mean squared error. Findings The models can reflect observed PD term structures associated with different time periods. The modified NHCTMCM performs best at the expense of higher complexity and only its cumulative PD term structures can be transferred to valid ECL-relevant unconditional PD term structures. For direct calibration to these unconditional PD term structures, the GTTCM is only slightly worse. Moreover, it requires only half of the number of parameters that its competitor does. Both models are useful additions to the implementation of accounting regulations. Research limitations/implications The tests are only carried out for 15-year samples within a 35-year span of available S&P transition data. Furthermore, a point-in-time forecast of the PD term structure requires a link to the business cycle, which seems difficult to find, but is in principle necessary corresponding to the accounting requirements. Practical implications Research findings are useful for practitioners, who apply and develop the ECL models of financial accounting. Originality/value The innovative models expand upon the existing methodologies for assessing financial risks, motivated by the practical requirements of new financial accounting standards.
