Common Failings: How Corporate Defaults are Correlated
Common Failings: How Corporate Defaults are Correlated We develop, and apply to data on U.S. corporations from 1987-2000, tests of the standard doubly-stochastic assumption under which firms’ default times are correlated only as implied by the correlation of factors determining their default intensities. This assumption is violated in the presence of contagion or “frailty” (unobservable covaria...

Common Failings: How Corporate Defaults are Correlated We develop, and apply to data on U.S. corporations from 1979-2004, tests of the standard doubly-stochastic assumption under which firms’ default times are correlated only as implied by the correlation of factors determining their default intensities. This assumption is violated in the presence of contagion or “frailty” (unobservable explana...
متن کاملOptimal dynamic resource allocation to prevent defaults
We consider a resource allocation problem, where a rational agent has to decide how to share a limited amount of resources among different companies that might be facing financial difficulties. The objective is to minimize the total long term cost incurred by the economy due to default events. Using the framework of multiarmed restless bandits and, assuming a two-state evolution of the default ...
متن کاملOptimal portfolio allocation with imposed price limit constraint
Daily price limits are adopted by many securities exchanges in countries such as the USA, Canada, Japan and various other countries in Europe and Asia, in order to increase the stability of the financial market. These limits confine the price of the financial asset during all trading stages of any trading day to a range, usually determined based on the previous day’s closing price. In this pape...
متن کاملCorporate bond defaults are consistent with conditional independence
Standard credit risk models rely on a doubly stochastic structure. Conditional on the evolution of common factors, defaults are independent. Recently, tests by Das, Duffie, Kapadia and Saita (2007) have cast doubt on the empirical validity of this assumption. We modify their estimation approach in two ways. First, we model intra-month patterns in observed defaults. Second, we estimate default i...
