Some more criticism
In any event, the Boston Fed study never actually tests the
rates it cites in the net present value calculation it presents.
The Panel’s staff tested the Boston Fed staff’s NPV formula
with very conservative assumptions, and found that even when
using the Boston Fed staff’s much higher- than-current self-
cure and redefault rates, there is still room to undertake a
NPV maximizing modification.
