Credit Risk - Unexpected Loss

Dear All,

This is Maithreyi here. I have just registered myself with this forum.

I am trying to learn Credit Risk. However, I am really confused as how to start? Is it possible to suggest some site which will help me understand and clarify my concepts. I was going through some literature by Mr David Harper. e.g. Friday's Movie: Advanced Credit Risk(1st of 2). The literature contains a graph which suggests that the Unexpected Loss is

Unexpected Loss = Credit VAR - Expected Loss

But it also suggests that Economic Capital = VAR(alpha) - EL(p)

(1) So is that economic Capital same as Unexpected Loss?
(2) Is it that Credit VAR is different from VAR(alpha)?

Please guide me.

Thanking in advance
