PMI has added an additional variable to its Risk Index model, which estimates the sensitivity of changes in affordability on the probability of house-price declines. This new variable considers a local affordability index (AI) and incorporates the impact of changes in affordability on the likelihood of extended price declines.

"The former PMI Risk Index performed well and proved to be a reliable tool in the assessment of geographic house-price risk. Our Risk Index has been valuable in assessing and managing risk in our own mortgage insurance portfolio. With the new affordability co-efficient in our model, we have enhanced the ability of our Risk Index to forecast the probability of future home-price declines," said L. Stephen Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, PMI Mortgage Insurance Co.
