A False Sense of Security in Applying Handpicked Equations for Stress Test Purposes

The purpose of this paper is to promote the use of Bayesian model averaging for the design of satellite models that financial institutions employ for stress testing. Banks employing JEL Classification: C11, C22, C51, E58, G21
