In addition to project work, Ugur has contributed significantly to industry debates in risk management and published several articles. His most cited article, 鈥淩econcilable Differences鈥 with Andrew Hickman, demonstrates that mathematically different credit risk portfolio modeling approaches can actually be mapped onto a common framework, and ingenuity therefore lies in the best calibration of credit risk parameters rather than choice of modeling approach. This important finding was incorporated into Basel II, the capital requirements framework used by banking regulators worldwide, and is viewed as a breakthrough concept in credit risk management practices. The paper is also published as independent chapter in four books.
