Credit Derivatives in an Affine Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a general and efficient method for valuating credit derivatives based on multiple entities in an affine framework. This includes interdependence of market and credit risk, joint credit migration and counterparty default risk of multiple firms. As an application we provide closed form expressions for the joint distribution of default times, default correlations, and credit default spreads in the presence of counterparty default risk.

Credit Derivatives in an Affine Framework (Working Paper Version)
A general and efficient method for valuing credit derivatives based on multiple entities is developed in an affine framework. This includes interdependence of market and credit risk, joint credit migration and counterparty default risk of multiple firms. As an application we provide closed form expressions for the joint distribution of default times, default correlations, and default swap sprea...
متن کاملPricing Credit Default Swaps Under Default Correlations and Counterparty Risk ∗
In this paper, we develop a generalized affine model to characterize correlated credit risk of multi-firms. When valuing credit derivatives, this new approach allows to incorporate correlative market and credit risk, interdependent default risk structure and counterparty risk into consideration. We have demonstrated our affine model not only combines the existing structural models and intensity...
متن کاملAffine Markov chain model of multifirm credit migration
This paper introduces and explores variations on a natural extension of the intensity based doubly stochastic framework for credit default. The essential addition proposed here is to introduce a Markov chain for the “credit rating” of each firm, which are independent conditioned on a stochastic time change, or equivalently a stochastic intensity. The stochastic time change is then combined with...
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 کاملCredit risk modeling with affine processes q
This article combines an orientation to credit risk modeling with an introduction to affine Markov processes, which are particularly useful for financial modeling. We emphasize corporate credit risk and the pricing of credit derivatives. Applications of affine processes that are mentioned include survival analysis, dynamic term-structure models, and option pricing with stochastic volatility and...
