The Lévy Libor model with default risk
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a model for the dynamic evolution of the term structure of default-free and defaultable interest rates. The model is set in the Libor market model framework but in contrast to the classical diffusion-driven setup, its dynamics are driven by a time-inhomogeneous Lévy process which allows us to better capture the real-world dynamics of credit spreads. We present necessary and sufficient conditions for absence of arbitrage in the dynamics of the spreads, and provide pricing formulae for defaultable bonds, credit default swaps and options on credit default swaps in this setup.

Rating based Lévy Libor model
In this paper we consider modeling of credit risk within the Libor market models. We extend the classical definition of the defaultfree forward Libor rate to defaultable bonds with credit ratings and develop the rating based Libor market model. As driving processes for the dynamics of the default-free and the pre-default term structure of Libor rates time-inhomogeneous Lévy processes are used. ...
متن کاملCredit Risk in Lévy Libor Modeling: Rating Based Approach
Preface Modeling of credit risk has become a very important and rapidly expanding field of mathematical finance in the last fifteen years. Apart from a purely academic interest, the credit derivatives industry clearly needs advanced mathematical models to objectively assess and hedge this kind of risk, which was only underlined by the recent financial crisis. Although there exist several credit...
متن کاملCdo Market Models Driven by Time-inhomogeneous Lévy Processes
This paper considers a top-down approach for CDO valuation and proposes a market model. We extend previous research on this topic in two directions: on the one side, we use as driving process for the interest rate dynamics a time-inhomogeneous Lévy process, and on the other side, we do not assume that all maturities are available in the market. Only a discrete tenor structure is considered, whi...
متن کاملTime - inhomogeneous Lévy processes in interest rate and credit risk models
In this thesis, we present interest rate models and a credit risk model, all driven by time-inhomogeneous Lévy processes, i.e. stochastic processes whose increments are independent but in general not stationary. In the interest rate part, we discuss a Heath–Jarrow–Morton forward rate model (the Lévy term structure model), a model for forward bond prices (the Lévy forward price model) and a Libo...
متن کاملA Tractable Libor Model with Default Risk
We develop a model for the dynamic evolution of defaultfree and defaultable interest rates in a LIBOR framework. Utilizing the class of affine processes, this model produces positive LIBOR rates and spreads, while the dynamics are analytically tractable under defaultable forward measures. This leads to explicit formulas for CDS spreads, while semi-analytical formulas are derived for other credi...
