This paper finds a strong relation between corporate credit default swap (CDS) information and higher moments of equity returns, as predicted by structural models. We use CDS spreads to measure the level of credit risk and to estimate credit market-implied risk premia. The results document that implied volatilities of equity options as well as ex-ante variance and skewness increase with CDS spr...

This paper presents an integrated imperfect production inventory model under two layer supply chain management. To ensure the orders, manufacturer convinces retailer to pay a percentage of purchasing cost prior replenish products and offers facilities such as (i) delay in payment on remaining part (ii) free transportation basis advance amount. Time dependent development is incurred maintain rel...

This paper employs a two-period life-cycle model to derive the optimal tax policy when educational investments are subject to credit constraints. Credit constraints arise from the limited commitment of debitors to repay loans and are endogenously determined by private banks under the non-default condition that individuals cannot be better off by defaulting. We show that the optimal redistributi...

a r t i c l e i n f o JEL classification: G32 G31 G33 C61 Keywords: Counterparty effect Market incompleteness Optimal capital structure This paper builds a static contingent-claim model that allows for examining the optimal capital structure with the joint arguments of counterparty default risk and market incompleteness. A first-passage-time model with jump default barrier is adopted to capture...

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the retailer’s optimal cycle time and optimal payment time under the supplier’s cash discount and trade credit policy within the economic production quantity (EPQ) framework. In this paper, we assume that the retailer will provide a full trade credit to his/her good credit customers and request his/her bad credit customers pay for the items as so...

Based on the idea of KMV model to build China's local government debt credit risk model, and associate the credit risk with borrowing scale to put forward the moderate debt scale of local government. Studies show that: The credit risks of local government debt is very sensitive to debt scale, When debt scale increases to a certain extent, the government’s default probability will rise sharply, ...

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 spr...

The study, aimed at evaluating the likely effects of the EC Directive on late payments, provides direct evidence that interfirm credit received by Italian manufacturing firms is, if ever, only slightly more expensive than bank loans. An econometric exercise shows that financial determinants have a stronger impact on recorded credit and debt periods for larger firms, able to use trade credit to ...
