Existing indices provided by various vendors are usually not geographically granular enough. In this project, we will adopt a hybrid indexing methodology to construct our own CPPI using the CoreLogic and RCA property transactions data. The index will be used for risk analytics for CRE loans held by large banks as well as regional and community banks.

　　In the beginning of the internship, the intern will be processing the CoreLogic and RCA data, which are vendor data SRC has access to.

　　In the middle of the internship, the intern will perform modeling under my guidance to construct the index and then validate the index.
