Another approach to model risk is the worst-case, or minmax approach, advocated in decision theory by Gilboa and Schmeidler. [22] In this approach one considers a range of models and minimizes the loss encountered in the worst-case scenario. This approach to model risk has been developed by Cont (2006). [23]

Analysts and investors utilize the Merton model to understand how capable a company is at meeting financial obligations, servicing its debt, and weighing the general possibility that it will go into credit default.
