Pricing and Trading Credit Default Swaps in a Hazard Process Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the paper we study dynamics of the arbitrage prices of credit default swaps within a hazard process model of credit risk. We derive these dynamics without postulating that the immersion property is satisfied between some relevant filtrations. These results are then applied so to study the problem of replication of general defaultable claims, including some basket claims, by means of dynamic trading of credit default swaps.

An Application of Genetic Network Programming Model for Pricing of Basket Default Swaps (BDS)
The credit derivatives market has experienced remarkable growth over the past decade. As such, there is a growing interest in tools for pricing of the most prominent credit derivative, the credit default swap (CDS). In this paper, we propose a heuristic algorithm for pricing of basket default swaps (BDS). For this purpose, genetic network programming (GNP), which is one of the recent evolutiona...
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 کاملThe Pricing and Risk Management of Credit Default Swaps, with a Focus on the ISDA Model
In the paper we detail the reduced form or hazard rate method of pricing credit default swaps, which is a market standard. We then show exactly how the ISDA standard CDS model works, and how it can be independently implemented. Particular attention is paid to the accrual on default formula: We show that the original formula in the standard model is slightly wrong, but more importantly the propo...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo pricing engine for n to default credit swaps in the Li model
The aim of this work is the implementation of pricing engine for Nth to default credit swaps. The pricing model we consider is the ”Li model” [Li, 2000]; our implementation is based on the techniques described in [Joshi and Kainth, 2004]. The model described in [Li, 2000] uses Gaussian Copulae to model asset correlation. It is well-known that Gaussian Copulas do not model satisfactorily tail de...
متن کاملRapid and Accurate Development of Prices and Greeks for Nth to Default Credit Swaps in the Li Model
New techniques are introduced for pricing nth to default credit swaps in the Li model. We demonstrate the use of importance sampling to greatly increase the rate of convergence of Monte Carlo simulations for pricing. This technique is combined with the likelihood ratio and the pathwise method for computing the sensitivities of these products to changes in the hazard rates of the underlying obli...
