Bayesian Estimation of Time-Changed Default Intensity Models
We estimate a reduced-form model of credit risk that incorporates stochastic volatility in default intensity via stochastic time-change. Our Bayesian MCMC estimation method overcomes nonlinearity in the measurement equation and state-dependent volatility in the state equation. We implement on firm-level time-series of CDS spreads, and find strong in-sample evidence of stochastic volatility in t...
متن کاملMethod of Moment Estimation in Time-Changed Lévy Models
This paper introduces a method of moment estimator for the time-changed Lévy processes proposed by Carr, Geman, Madan and Yor (2003). By establishing that the returns sequence is strongly mixing with exponentially decreasing rate, we prove consistency and asymptotic normality of the resulting estimators. In addition, we fit parametrized versions of the model to real data and examine the quality...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Continuous-Time Finance Models
A new Bayesian method is proposed for the analysis of discretely sampled diffusion processes. The method, which is termed high frequency augmentation (HFA), is a simple numerical method that is applicable to a wide variety of univariate or multivariate diffusion and jump-diffusion processes. It is furthermore useful when observations are irregularly observed, when one or more elements of the mu...
متن کاملContagion models with interacting default intensity processes
Credit risk is quantified by the loss distribution due to unexpected changes in the credit quality of the counterparty in a financial contract. Default correlation risk refers to the risk that a bundle of risky obligors may default together. To understand the clustering phenomena in correlated defaults, we consider credit contagion models which describe the propagation of financial distress fro...
متن کاملcomparison of conventional bayesian and approximate bayesian approaches in estimation of variance components using animal models
animal models are used to model the observations of animal performance that are genetically dependent.these models are considered as generalized linear mixed models and the genetic correlation structure of data is considered through random effects of breeding values. one goal of the mentioned models is to estimate variance components. in this research, an approximate bayesian approach presented...
