Case Study: INCAE Business School achieves improved student risk analysis and decision-making with Palisade's @RISK

INCAE Students Analyze Financial Institutions and Capital Markets with @RISK

INCAE Business School faced the challenge of teaching MBA students practical risk analysis in Finance I and Financial Institutions and Capital Markets, including tasks like estimating probability of default and making better decisions after the failures highlighted by the housing bubble. Professor Dr. Arnoldo Camacho uses Palisade’s @RISK to give students hands‑on exposure to these real‑world credit and market risks.

Palisade’s @RISK is used for simulation and sensitivity analysis in courses that typically enroll 60–65 students, allowing learners to move from uncertainty to formal risk analysis and develop critical thinking around credit risk and decision making. Instructors report the software is easy to handle and enables students to perform probability‑of‑default estimation and other quantitative risk assessments, improving practical competencies in finance.
