一个多因子信用违约互换定价模型

考虑一个违约互换的多因子的简化模型,通过测度的转化并求解一个多变量Riccati常微分方程而得出了这个模型的解析解.此模型是Duffie-Pan-Singleton(2000)模型的特例,但是这个模型存在解析解,而Duffie-Pan-Singleton模型并不存在解析解.模型的解析解对获得直觉的判断和进行模型的计算都非常有帮助,而且模型的解析解对实证检验也是有帮助的.     

一篮子信用违约互换定价的偏微分方程方法

通过对一篮子信用违约互换的结构性分析,在约化法框架下,用PDE方法提出一个新的计算具有违约相关性的多个公司联合生存概率的方法,在此基础上得到信用互换到期之前一篮子中违约数量的概率分布.应用这个概率分布,在条件独立的假定下,先后建立了首次违约、二次违约的信用违约互换定价模型,并用PDE方法给出了定价的显性表达式,并进一步扩展到解决m次违约的信用违约互换的定价问题.     

基于t-Copula的一篮子信用违约互换定价模型

为了刻画分布函数的厚尾特征和违约的传染性,构建了单因子t-Copula模型,以此研究一篮子信用违约互换(BDS)的定价问题。依据风险中性定价原理和顺序统计量方法,分别得到了第k次违约和n个参照实体中m个受保护的BDS价格的解析式.为了说明定价模型的有效性,用随机模拟方法分析了相应的数值算例.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

违约强度由Lévy从属过程驱动的约化信用风险模型及信用违约互换的定价

本文引入一个约化信用风险模型,其中违约强度定义为从属过程,即非负增Lévy过程.用概率方法得到了违约时间分布的解析表达式.利用该解析表达式,给出了该信用风险模型下的信用违约互换(Credit Default Swaps)的闭形式的定价公式.     

信用违约联结票券的定价

本文从定义信用违约联结票券出发,介绍了JarrowandTurnbul(1995)违约强度模型。然后在该模型的基础上,针对不同的公司,假设违约时间独立同服从指数分布且与利率期间结构独立,分别就t=0与0     

随机挽回率下第n次违约互换的蒙特卡罗模拟定价

考虑到挽回率是违约互换定价的重要因素,同时获得准确的挽回率也是极其困难的,于是假设挽回率是随机的,并与对应资产违约时间呈Copula类相依结构.在该假设条件下提出一种对第n次违约互换定价的模拟算法.通过实证模拟发现,恒定挽回率,独立随机挽回率和Copula结构的挽回率对应的定价结果相差较大.     

Modelling credit default swap spreads by means of normal mixtures and copulas

This paper develops a multivariate statistical model for the analysis of credit default swap spreads. Given the large excess kurtosis of the univariate marginal distributions, it is proposed to model them by means of a mixture of distributions. However, the multivariate extension of this methodology is numerically difficult, so that copulas are used to capture the structure of dependence of the data. It is shown how to estimate the parameters of the marginal distributions via the EM algorithm; then the parameters of the copula are estimated and standard errors computed through the nonparametric bootstrap. An application to credit default swap spreads of some European reference entities and extensive simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the method.     

价格与隐含远期违约概率

如同根据布莱克-斯科尔斯模型从欧式看涨期权市场价格中反求隐含波动率一样,从信用违约互换的价格中提取隐含违约概率在理论上和实践上都存在很多困难.传统的自助法存在很大的缺点,并有可能得出不符合现实的结果.本文采用基于一段时期的条件违约概率的新的优化方法来替代基于自助法的瞬时远期违约概率,该方法有很多优良特性,会得出比传统方法好得多的结论.     

Restructuring risk in credit default swaps: An empirical analysis

This paper estimates the price for restructuring risk in the US corporate bond market during 1999–2005. Comparing quotes from default swap (CDS) contracts with a restructuring event and without, we find that the average premium for restructuring risk represents 6%–8% of the swap rate without restructuring. We show that the restructuring premium depends on firm-specific balance-sheet and macroeconomic variables. And, when default swap rates without a restructuring event increase, the increase in restructuring premia is higher for low-credit-quality firms than for high-credit-quality firms. We propose a reduced-form arbitrage-free model for pricing default swaps that explicitly incorporates the distinction between restructuring and default events. A case study illustrating the model’s implementation is provided.     

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.     

Pricing model of interest rate swap with a bilateral default risk

Under the foundation of Duffie & Huang (1996) [7], this paper integrates the reduced form model and the structure model for a default risk measure, giving rise to a new pricing model of interest rate swap with a bilateral default risk. This model avoids the shortcomings of ignoring the dynamic movements of the firm’s assets of the reduced form model but adds only a little complexity and simplifies the pricing formula significantly when compared with Li (1998) [10]. With the help of the Crank-Nicholson difference method, we give the numerical solutions of the new model to study the default risk effects on the swap rate. We find that for a one year interest rate swap with the coupon paid per quarter, the variance of the default fixed rate payer decreases from 0.1 to 0.01 only causing about a 1.35%’s increase in the swap rate. This is consistent with previous results.     

关于双曲衰减的违约相关模型及CDS定价

引进一个双曲类型的衰减函数来表示一方违约对另一方违约强度的影响．若交易双方为竞争对手(合作公司),当一方的违约时,另一方的违约强度将减小(增大)．随着时间的推移,这种影响将逐渐减小,直至为零．在这个模型下,通过测度变换,可以得到两公司违约时间的联合分布及各自的边际分布,从而可以对违约互换进行定价．     

Enhancing credit default swap valuation with meshfree methods

In this paper, we apply the meshfree radial basis function (RBF) interpolation to numerically approximate zero-coupon bond prices and survival probabilities in order to price credit default swap (CDS) contracts. We assume that the interest rate follows a Cox-Ingersoll-Ross process while the default intensity is described by the Exponential-Vasicek model. Several numerical experiments are conducted to evaluate the approximations by the RBF interpolation for one- and two-factor models. The results are compared with those estimated by the finite difference method (FDM). We find that the RBF interpolation achieves more accurate and computationally efficient results than the FDM. Our results also suggest that the correlation between factors does not have a significant impact on CDS spreads.     

Pricing credit default swaps with a random recovery rate by a double inverse Fourier transform

We evaluate the par spread for a single-name credit default swap with a random recovery rate. It is carried out under the framework of a structural default model in which the asset-value process is of infinite activity but finite variation. The recovery rate is assumed to depend on the undershoot of the asset value below the default threshold when default occurs. The key part is to evaluate a generalized expected discounted penalty function, which is a special case of the so-called Gerber–Shiu function in actuarial ruin theory. We first obtain its double Laplace transform in time and in spatial variable, and then implement a numerical Fourier inversion integration. Numerical experiments show that our algorithm gives accurate results within reasonable time and different shapes of spread curve can be obtained.     

Estimation of rating classes and default probabilities in credit risk models with dependencies

Let Y = m(X) + ε be a regression model with a dichotomous output Y and a one‐step regression function m . In the literature, estimators for the three parameters of m , that is, the breakpoint θ and the levels a and b , are proposed for independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) observations. We show that these standard estimators also work in a non‐i.i.d. framework, that is, that they are strongly consistent under mild conditions. For that purpose, we use a linear one‐factor model for the input X and a Bernoulli mixture model for the output Y . The estimators for the split point and the risk levels are applied to a problem arising in credit rating systems. In particular, we divide the range of individuals' creditworthiness into two groups. The first group has a higher probability of default and the second group has a lower one. We also stress connections between the standard estimator for the cutoff θ and concepts prevalent in credit risk modeling, for example, receiver operating characteristic.
