چکیده
The Pricing of Options on Credit-Sensitive Bonds We build a three-factor term-structure of interest rates model and use it to price corporate bonds. The first two factors allow the risk-free term structure to shift and tilt. The third factor generates a stochastic credit-risk premium. To implement the model, we apply the Peterson and Stapleton (2002) diffusion approximation methodology. The method approximates a correlated and lagged-dependent lognormal diffusion processes. We then price options on credit-sensitive bonds. The recombining log-binomial tree methodology allows the rapid computation of bond and option prices for binomial trees with up to forty periods. Model for Pricing Options on Credit-Sensitive Bonds 1

The Pricing of Bermudan Options on Defaultable Bonds
The Pricing of Bermudan Options on Defaultable Bonds In this paper, we modify the Nelson and Ramaswamy (1990)-Ho, Stapleton and Subrahmanyam (1995) diffusion approximation. The modification allows the approximation of correlated lognormal diffusion processes. The general method is illustrated by pricing a Bermudan-style put option on the minimum of two asset prices. We then apply the method to ...
متن کاملAn Extension of the Jarrow-lando-turnbull Model to Random Recovery Rate
We extend the Markovian rating model of Jarrow, Lando and Turnbull for pricing defaultable zero-coupon bonds and other credit sensitive instruments such as credit spread options, allowing for a stochastic recovery rate. The extension is performed by expanding the default state into multiple states to which correspond possibly different recovery rates. We analyze the extended model and generaliz...
متن کاملArbitrage Pricing of Single-name Credit Derivatives
In existing pricing theories, pricing of single-name credit default swaps (CDSs) and their options makes no reference to the prices of defaultable bonds, the underlying assets of those derivatives. Such a pricing practice does not exclude possible arbitrage across bond and CDS markets. In this paper, we introduce a new theory that treats the two markets as one and thus ensures price consistency...
متن کاملPricing contingent claims with credit risk: Asymptotic expansion approach
The pricing problem of credit derivatives has received much attention in the last decade. An important unresolved problem, however, is the pricing of credit derivatives under the general environment in which the interest rate process and the hazard rate process are stochastic. This article addresses the pricing problems of credit derivatives (defaultable bonds, default swaps, and default option...
متن کاملPricing Equity Derivatives Subject to Bankruptcy
We solve in closed form a parsimonious extension of the Black–Scholes–Merton model with bankruptcy where the hazard rate of bankruptcy is a negative power of the stock price. Combining a scale change and a measure change, the model dynamics is reduced to a linear stochastic differential equation whose solution is a diffusion process that plays a central role in the pricing of Asian options. The...
