基于分数布朗运动的贷款信用担保定价

上市公司对外做贷款的信用担保或相互做信用担保在我国资本市场是很普遍的现象.在贷款到期时,可能发生违约情况.信用担保本质上是看跌期权.假设上市公司净资产价格服从分数布朗散运动,采用拟鞅定价的方法,得到了公司提供信用担保和相互担保在无违约和违约情形下的定价公式.     

有传染违约相关情形下信用违约互换的估价

在回收率非零的情况下,研究了信用违约互换的参照资产和保护卖方有传染违约相关时信用违约互换的定价问题.相关传染违约结构由双方相关的违约强度描述,即一方的违约会导致另一方的违约强度的增加.利用参照资产与保护卖方违约停时的联合概率分布,得到了信用违约互换价格的精确表达式,并且分析了清算期和回收率对清算风险价格和替换成本的影响.数值化的结果说明,在信用违约互换的定价中,不仅不能忽视参照资产对保护卖方违约的影响,还不能忽视清算期和回收率对信用违约互换价格的影响.如果在定价信用违约互换时不考虑回收率,即假定回收率为零时,会严重高估信用违约互换的价格.     

在约化模型下具有随机回收率的公司债券定价

在假设违约过程和利率过程相关的情形下,利用无套利原理构造了具有随机回收率的公司债券定价模型,然后运用偏微分方程方法给出了公司债券的价格表达式,最后讨论了模型中的参数对信用利差的影响.     

跳-扩散过程下具有目标杠杆比率的违约风险模型

本文在研究公司债务违约风险时,假设公司价值的动态变化服从跳-扩散过程;假设公司可以根据公司价值的变化调整其债务水平,因而存在公司的目标杠杆比率,违约边界定义为公司历史价值的对数加权平均;当公司价值下降到违约边界时发生债务违约.数值模拟表明公司债务的信用利差对公司的目标杠杆比率和跳过程的强度具有高度的敏感性.本文的模型解决了在长期和短期信用利差预测时结构化模型和约化模型存在的缺陷.     

中国企业债信用风险度量的实证研究

我们基于KMV模型以及Delianedis and Geske(2001)模型,对05国航债进行了信用风险度量分析.根据中国国航在2007年7月23日的收盘价和近三年的财务数据我们对05国航债的信用利差进行了实证分析,并就实证结果提出了自己的观点:由于我国的企业债不是信用债券,而是由国有商业银行担保的债券,因此2007年7月23日05国航债的利差估计值与实际利差的差额547.34个基点应该由担保银行——中国农业银行的信用所消化.     

有散粒噪声的机制转换的马尔科夫copula模型下的有担保安排的CDS的风险分析

信用估值调整是针对交易对手方可能出现的违约责任而对金融产品价格作出调整的计算,是度量交易对手违约风险的重要方式.在信用估值调整的计算中,违约相关风险模型的建立非常关键.我们在马尔科夫copula模型中引入共同的经济状态变量以及散粒噪声过程,建立了带有散粒噪声的机制转换的马尔科夫copula模型,该模型不仅可以刻画经济环境对违约的影响,而且可以反映在同一种经济环境中信用个体的违约变化.我们研究了此模型的鞅性质,在此模型下,我们进一步研究了有抵押担保的信用违约互换的CVA的刻画,并做了数值计算,分析了模型参数对CVA的影响.     

约化模型中含有对手风险的信用违约互换定价

在约化模型中研究了含有对手风险的信用违约互换的定价问题.通过构建信用违约互换买方、卖方和参考资产之间的衰减传染结构,借助于测度变换的方法分别导出了含有单边和双边对手风险的信用违约的定价表达式.     

基于信息增益的小型工业企业信用评级模型

信用评级就是衡量一笔债务违约的可能性,评价债务违约风险的大小。本文利用信息增益方法建立了信用评级模型,并以小型工业企业贷款数据为对象进行了实证分析。本文的创新与特色:一是按照指标的信息增益越大、越能将违约与非违约企业区分出来的思路,筛选出对违约状态有较大影响的指标。改变了现有研究不以违约鉴别力作为指标遴选标准的不足。二是在相关程度高的一对冗余指标中,删除信息增益小、即违约鉴别能力差的指标,既避免指标间反映信息重复,又避免误删违约鉴别能力强的指标。三是利用信息增益值对指标进行赋权,保证违约鉴别能力越大的指标赋予的权重越大。改变了现有研究赋权不反映指标的违约鉴别能力大小的弊端。实证结果表明:本文遴选的包括资产负债率、行业景气指数、抵质押担保等31个指标对违约状态有显著的鉴别能力,且反映信息不重复。偿债能力是影响小型工业企业信用评级的关键要素。     

双指数跳扩散模型信用违约互换短期价格研究

假设参考实体没违约时信用违约互换保护买方连续支付互换价格,导出了信用违约互换价格的表达式;对标的资产价值服从双指数跳扩散模型,得到了条件违约风险率和信用违约互换的短期价格极限.这些结果比纯扩散模型假设更符合实际.     

利用传染模型对含有对手风险的信用证券定价(英文)

本文利用传染模型研究了可违约债券和含有对手风险的信用违约互换的定价。我们在约化模型中引入具有违约相关性的传染模型,该模型假设违约过程的强度依赖于由随机微分方程驱动的随机利率过程和交易对手的违约过程.本文模型可视为Jarrow和Yu(2001)及Hao和Ye(2011)中模型的推广.进一步地,我们利用随机指数的性质导出了可违约债券和含有对手风险的信用违约互换的定价公式并进行了数值分析.     

A reduced-form model with default intensities containing contagion and regime-switching Vasicek processes

The contagion credit risk model is used to describe the contagion effect among different financial institutions. Under such a model, the default intensities are driven not only by the common risk factors, but also by the defaults of other considered firms. In this paper, we consider a two-dimensional credit risk model with contagion and regime-switching. We assume that the default intensity of one firm will jump when the other firm defaults and that the intensity is controlled by a Vasicek model with the coefficients allowed to switch in different regimes before the default of other firm. By changing measure, we derive the marginal distributions and the joint distribution for default times. We obtain some closed form results for pricing the fair spreads of the first and the second to default credit default swaps (CDSs). Numerical results are presented to show the impacts of the model parameters on the fair spreads.     

债券违约是否存在区域传染？——基于中国债券市场融资成本视角

2018年以来中国债券市场违约规模攀升,累计违约金额超2900亿元。债券违约后的负面影响受到投资者、发行人乃至监管部门关注。本文以北京、上海、辽宁等八个辖区为例,选取2016~2019年债券违约及债券发行数据,通过构建违约事件对债券发行价格影响因素模型,分析了债券违约的区域传染效应。研究发现:债券违约引发的信用风险存在区域传染性,主要体现为债券发行前若发行人所属辖区存在违约事件将推升债券融资成本;区域内的传染效应与违约时间距离负相关,当时间距离增长时,传染效应变弱,甚至消失;债券违约风险对不同性质企业的传染效应不同,民营企业受影响尤为显著。     

On the simulation of portfolios of interest rate and credit risk sensitive securities

We discuss extensions of reduced-form and structural models for pricing credit risky securities to portfolio simulation and valuation. Stochasticity in interest rates and credit spreads is captured via reduced-form models and is incorporated with a default and migration model based on the structural credit risk modelling approach. Calculated prices are consistent with observed prices and the term structure of default-free and defaultable interest rates. Three applications are discussed: (i) study of the inter-temporal price sensitivity of credit bonds and the sensitivity of future portfolio valuation with respect to changes in interest rates, default probabilities, recovery rates and rating migration, (ii) study of the structure of credit risk by investigating the impact of disparate risk factors on portfolio risk, and (iii) tracking of corporate bond indices via simulation and optimisation models. In particular, we study the effect of uncertainty in credit spreads and interest rates on the overall risk of a credit portfolio, a topic that has been recently discussed by Kiesel et al. [The structure of credit risk: spread volatility and ratings transitions. Technical report, Bank of England, ISSN 1268-5562, 2001], but has been otherwise mostly neglected. We find that spread risk and interest rate risk are important factors that do not diversify away in a large portfolio context, especially when high-quality instruments are considered.     

Credit spreads, endogenous bankruptcy and liquidity risk

In this paper, we consider a bond valuation model with both credit risk and liquidity risk to show that credit spreads are not negligible for short maturities. We adopt the structural approach to model credit risk, where the default triggering barrier is determined endogenously by maximizing equity value. As for liquidity risk, we assume that bondholders may encounter liquidity shocks during the lifetime of corporate bonds, and have to sell the bond immediately at the price, which is assumed to be a fraction of the price in a perfectly liquid market. Under this framework, we derive explicit expressions for corporate bond, firm value and bankruptcy trigger. Finally, numerical illustrations are presented.     

A contagion model with Markov regime-switching intensities

We consider a two-dimensional reduced form contagion model with regime-switching interacting default intensities. The model assumes the intensities of the default times are driven by macro-economy described by a homogeneous Markov chain as well as the other default. By using the idea of ＇change of measure＇ and some closed-form formulas for the Laplace transforms of the integrated intensity processes, we derive the two-dimensional conditional and unconditional joint distributions of the default times. Based on these results, we give the explicit formulas for the fair spreads of the first-to-default and second-to-default credit default swaps （CDSs） on two underlyings.     

Liquidity and credit risk

The paper uses fuzzy measure theory to represent liquidity risk, i.e. the case in which the probability measure used to price contingent claims is not known precisely. This theory enables one to account for different values of long and short positions. Liquidity risk is introduced by representing the upper and lower bound of the price of the contingent claim computed as the upper and lower Choquet integral with respect to a subadditive function. The use of a specific class of fuzzy measures, known as g λ measures enables one to easily extend the available asset pricing models to the case of illiquid markets. As the technique is particularly useful in corporate claims evaluation, a fuzzified version of Merton's model of credit risk is presented. Sensitivity analysis shows that both the level and the range (the difference between upper and lower bounds) of credit spreads are positively related to the ‘quasi debt to firm value ratio’ and to the volatility of the firm value. This finding may be read as correlation between credit risk and liquidity risk, a result which is particularly useful in concrete risk-management applications. The model is calibrated on investment grade credit spreads, and it is shown that this approach is able to reconcile the observed credit spreads with risk premia consistent with observed default rate. Default probability ranges, rather than point estimates, seem to play a major role in the determination of credit spreads.     

A pricing model for secondary market yield based floating rate notes subject to default risk

The purpose of this article is to price secondary market yield based floating rate notes (SMY-FRNs) subject to default risk. SMY-FRNs are derivatives on the default-free term structure of interest rates, on the term structures for default-risky credit classes, and on the structure of a determined pool of bonds. The main problem in SMY-FRN pricing (as compared to the pricing of standard interest rate or credit derivatives) is market incompleteness, which makes traditional no-arbitrage pricing by replication fail. In general, SMY-FRNs are subject to two types of default risk. First, the SMY-FRN issuer may go bankrupt (direct default risk). Second, the possibility of the bankruptcy of the issuers in the underlying pool has an influence on the SMY-FRN coupons (indirect default risk). This article is the first one which provides a no-arbitrage pricing model for SMY-FRNs with direct and indirect default risks. It is also the first article applying incomplete market pricing methodology to SMY-FRNs.     

The loss given default of a low-default portfolio with weak contagion

In this paper we study the loss given default (LGD) of a low default portfolio (LDP), assuming that there is weak credit contagion among the obligors. We characterize the credit contagion by a Sarmanov dependence structure of the risk factors that drive the obligors’ default, where the risk factors are assumed to be heavy tailed. From a new perspective of asymptotic analysis, we derive a limiting distribution for the LGD. As a consequence, an approximation for the entire distribution, in contrast to just the tail behavior, of the LGD is obtained. We show numerical examples to demonstrate the limiting distribution. We also discuss possible applications of the limiting distribution to the calculation of moments and the Value at Risk (VaR) of the LGD.
