Abstract

This present paper proposes to study the limits of mathematical models and their assumptions through the subprime crisis initiated at the summer 2007. Indeed, the mathematical modeling is one of the causes that have contributed to the bursting and the propagation of this financial collapse at the planetary level. However, the valorization of complex products such as (CDO and CDS) was supported by the use of the function of the 'Gaussian Copula' combined with the adoption of restrictive and erroneous assumptions. More precisely, this article aims to provide answers to the following interrogations: Which are the risks related to stochastic models, and which are the tools to evaluate and control them as well as the axes of reflection to solve this crisis of modeling?
