Quantitative Risk Management

The Quantitative Risk Management Section provides economic analysis supporting the Federal Reserve's supervisory and regulatory activities. Section economists carry out policy analysis and independent research related to financial markets, risk measurement and management, and the regulation of financial institutions. They represent the Board on various domestic and international working groups dealing with these topics. In addition, they participate in bank examinations where they review quantitative models used for internal risk management purposes and setting risk-based capital requirements.
