Scenario Analysis and Probability Distributions (시나리오 분석과 확률분포)  How to measure risk with the HPR  Scenario Analysis  Process of devising a list of possible economic scenarios and specifying the likelihood of each one, as well as the HPR that will be realized in each case  i.e.) Boom, Normal growth, Recession State of the Economy Boom Normal growth Recession Scenario 1 2 3 probability 0.25 0.50 0.25 HPR 44% 14% -16% McGraw-Hill/Irwin © 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., All Rights Reserved. Scenario Analysis and Probability Distributions  Probability distributions  The list of possible HPRs with associated probabilities McGraw-Hill/Irwin © 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., All Rights Reserved. Expected return (기대수익률) • Expected return : The mean value of the distribution of HPR – The sum of Possible returns with associated probabilities E(r) = S pS(s ) r(s ) E (r )   p( s)r ( s) s t 1 p(s) = probability of a state r(s) = return if a state occurs 1 to s states • It is the average of a probability distribution of possible returns, calculated by using the following formula: • E(R)= Sum: probability (in scenario i) * the return (in scenario i) McGraw-Hill/Irwin © 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., All Rights Reserved.
