The Credit Research Initiative (CRI) team is a world leader in studying and applying the modern data analytics and conventional economic/financial models to credit risk analysis. We invite Ph.D. candidates/holders from quantitative disciplines to apply for the Research Fellowship. The CRI is committed to achieving academic excellence and practical relevance. It was launched after the 2008-2009 financial crisis and premised upon the concept of credit ratings as a public good. Over the course of its developments, it has produced top-tier original research and has helped a wide range of financial institutions, supranational organizations and FinTech companies to solve real-world problems. In collaboration with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the CRI has developed an automated stress-testing tool based on the CRI PD system – the Bottom-up Default Analysis (BuDA) toolkit. Together with a Singapore-based FinTech company, our technology is extended to help build its credit rating system for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).
The CRI team joins the Asian Institute of Digital Finance in NUS in 2020 and currently actively pursues a research project on Natural Language Processing (NLP) to extract credit-focused sentiments in media to complement the structured financial and behavioural data.
