The Cyclical Behavior of Default and Recovery Rates
نویسنده
چکیده
Using a regime switching framework we investigate the determinants of default clustering. We find that a common credit cycle, modeled as a two-state Markov chain, can account for a large portion of default correlations, with the residual clustering being captured by a factor structure. During credit crunches default rates increase, and so does the conditional residual correlation. Using data for the period 2000-2006 we find that this common cycle is robust in explaining a large part of the default behavior of individual industries and recovery rates. We also find that structured products that depend on the distribution tail are the first to respond to a deterioration of the credit environment.

Dependence of Default Probability and Recovery Rate in Structural Credit Risk Models: Empirical Evidence from Greece
The main idea of this paper is to study the dependence between the probability of default and the recovery rate on credit portfolio and to seek empirically this relationship. We examine the dependence between PD and RR by theoretical approach. For the empirically methodology, we use the bootstrapped quantile regression and the simultaneous quantile regression. These methods allow to determinate...
متن کاملIdentification of Cyclical Banks in Iranian Banking System (Focus on Leverage Ratio)
T he cyclical banks have different behavior than other banks. The structure of the balance sheet in cyclical banks is different from anti-cyclical banks. The cyclical banks have a relationship between leverage growth and asset growth while the other banks have no relationship between asset growth and leverage growth in the banking system. This relationship depends on the structure of...
متن کاملInvestigating The Asymmetric Effects of Macroeconomic Variables on Bank Default Rates During High and Low Default Periods
In recent decades, the high rate of inflation has been one of the concerns of Iran's economy, and one of the main causes of inflation has been the imbalance of banks. The level of non-current claims of banks has been increasing due to the economic recession, credit facilities and the lack of optimal allocation of facilities, and therefore it has unbalanced the balance sheets of banks, hence the...
متن کاملPro-Cyclicality, Empirical Credit Cycles, and Capital Buffer Formation
We model 1927–1997 U.S. business failure rates using a time series approach based on unobserved components. Clear evidence is found of cyclical behavior in default rates. The cycle has a period of around 10 years. We also detect longer term movements in default probabilities and default correlations. Our findings have important implications for portfolio credit risk analysis. First, a static an...
متن کاملA Survey of Cyclical Effects in
We survey both academic and proprietary models to examine how macroeconomic and systematic risk effects are incorporated into measures of credit risk exposure. Many models consider the correlation between the probability of default (PD) and cyclical factors. Few models adjust loss rates (loss given default) to reflect cyclical effects. We find that the possibility of systematic correlation betw...
