Counterparty Risk Modeling: Beyond Immersion

چکیده

Counterparty risk reduced-form models typically hinge on an immersion property of a reference filtration into the full model filtration enlarged by the default times of the counterparties, as well as on a continuity assumption on some of the data at default time. This is too restrictive for cases of strong wrong-way risk, i.e. adverse dependence between the exposure and the credit riskiness of the counterparty. In this paper we generalize the approach by switching from the class of pseudo-stopping times, which is classically used to model the defaults of the counterparties, to the much more flexible class of invariant times. For instance, these can be marked default times, where the role of the mark is to convey some additional information about the defaults, in order to account for various possible wrong-way and gap risk scenarios and features. Additional tools are introduced to analyze the cure period (time interval between the default and the liquidation) and the ensuing gap risk of diverging evolutions of the portfolio and of its collateral. In particular, the liquidation time is predictable (as announced by the default), which modifies the nature of the pricing problem. We illustrate our approach in two dynamic copula models of portfolio credit risk.

Counterparty risk and funding: immersion and beyond

In Crépey (2015, Part II), a basic reduced-form counterparty risk modeling approach was introduced, under a rather standard immersion hypothesis between a reference filtration and the filtration progressively enlarged by the default times of the two parties, also involving the continuity of some of the data at default time. This basic approach is too restrictive for application to credit deriva...

BSDEs of Counterparty Risk and Invariant Times

We study a BSDE with random terminal time that appears in the modeling of counterparty risk in finance. We proceed by reduction of the original BSDE into a simpler BSDE posed with respect to a smaller filtration and a changed probability measure. This is done under a relaxation of the classical immersion hypothesis, stated in terms of the changed probability measure, of which we characterize th...

Informationally Dynamized Gaussian Copula

In order to dynamize the static Gaussian copula model of portfolio credit risk, we introduce a model filtration made of a reference Brownian filtration progressively enlarged by the default times. This yields a multidimensional density model of default times, where, as opposed to the classical situation of the Cox model, the reference filtration is not immersed into the enlarged filtration. In ...

Credit Risk Modeling and Valuation: an Introduction

Credit risk is the distribution of financial losses due to unexpected changes in the credit quality of a counterparty in a financial agreement. We review the structural, reduced form and incomplete information approaches to estimating joint default probabilities and prices of credit sensitive securities.
