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.

Pricing catastrophe options with counterparty credit risk in a reduced form model

In this paper, we study the price of catastrophe options with counterparty credit risk in a reduced form model. We assume that the loss process is generated by a doubly stochastic Poisson process, the share price process is modeled through a jump-diffusion process which is correlated to the loss process, the interest rate process and the default intensity process are modeled through the Vasicek model. We derive the closed form formulae for pricing catastrophe options in a reduced form model. Furthermore, we make some numerical analysis on the explicit formulae.     

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.

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.     

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.     

Modelling the evolution of credit spreads using the Cox process within the HJM framework: A CDS option pricing model

In this paper a simulation approach for defaultable yield curves is developed within the Heath et al. (1992) framework. The default event is modelled using the Cox process where the stochastic intensity represents the credit spread. The forward credit spread volatility function is affected by the entire credit spread term structure. The paper provides the defaultable bond and credit default swap option price in a probability setting equipped with a subfiltration structure. The Euler–Maruyama stochastic integral approximation and the Monte Carlo method are applied to develop a numerical scheme for pricing. Finally, the antithetic variable technique is used to reduce the variance of credit default swap option prices.     

人民币利率互换中风险的市场价格

为研究人民币利率互换市场中流动性风险和违约风险的市场价格,运用三因子广义高斯仿射模型,同时对人民币国债市场利率、银行间质押式回购市场利率和利率互换市场利率进行模拟,并采用极大似然估计方法估计众多参数。结果发现,在目前的人民币利率互换定价过程中,流动性要素相对违约要素更加重要,市场给予流动性风险以显著的风险溢价。如采用互换利差定价法为人民币利率互换定价的话,可以以回购利率作为基准,在此基础上考虑信用风险来进行。     

On pricing of credit spread options

This paper describes and analyses different pricing models for credit spread options such as Longstaff–Schwartz, Black, Das–Sundaram and Duan (GARCH-based) models. The first two models, Longstaff–Schwartz and Black, assume respectively a mean-reverting dynamic and a lognormal distribution for the spread and are representative of the so-called “spread models”. Such models consider the spread as a unique variable and provide closed form solutions for option pricing. On the contrary Das–Sundaram propose a recursive backward induction procedure to price credit spread options on a bivariate tree, which describes the dynamic of the term structure of forward risk-neutral spread and risk-free rate. This model belongs to the class of structural models, which can be used to price a wider range of credit risk derivatives. Finally, we consider the pricing of credit spread options assuming a discrete time GARCH model for the spread.     

Estimation and evaluation of the term structure of credit default swaps: An empirical study

Chen, Cheng, Fabozzi and Liu [Chen, Ren-Raw, Cheng, Xiaolin, Fabozzi, Frank, Liu, Bo, 2008. An explicit, multi- factor credit default swap pricing model with correlated factors. J. Financial Quantitative Anal. 43 (1), 123-160] provide an explicit solution to the value of the credit default swap when the interest rate and the hazard rate are correlated. They also provide empirical evidence to support the model with transaction prices. In this paper, we extend their empirical work to study the term structure of CDS spreads by using a matrix CDS dataset from J. P. Morgan Chase. Matrix data contain interpolated prices based on traders’ expectations, which are often criticized as being “unreal”. However, the benefit of this matrix dataset is that it contains the entire credit spread curves, which allows us to understand the cross-sectional variation of the credit risk. The empirical results show that the parameters of the model are highly significant and it captures most of the cross-sectional as well as time series variation.

In this paper, a pricing problem for corporate bond with dynamic default barrier is studied under a hybrid model. Firstly, a mathematical model for the pricing problem is set up by applying risk-free equilibrium principle. Then, a closed-form formula for the pricing model is obtained by using the variable transformation technique and the image method, which extends the relevant literature's results. Finally, a numerical experiment is presented to analyze the effect of the dynamic barrier on the bond price. Our studies show that the different shape curve of a bond's price can be obtained by adjusting the relevant parameter on the default boundary, and then can control the risk or get a higher bond's yield

基于区间数DEA的贷款定价模型研究

在贷款的买方市场或充分竞争的金融环境中,贷款利率不会由银行自己说了算,因此建立银企双方共同接受的贷款利率定价模型在现实中尤为重要。本文采用区间数的形式反映存款利息支出率、违约风险补偿率等定价指标的不确定性,以已结清贷款最小定价效率、最大定价效率组成的贷款定价效率区间为目标,以新贷款的贷款利率为决策变量,通过逆向求解区间数DEA模型反推出新贷款的贷款利率区间,建立了基于区间数DEA的贷款定价模型。本文的创新与特色一是以已结清贷款的存款利息支出率、目标利润率等指标为输入,以已结清贷款的贷款利率为输出,利用DEA模型求得已结清贷款的实际最小效率及最大效率。二是以银企双方均可接受的贷款定价效率区间为目标、以新贷款的存款利息支出率等用区间数形式表示的贷款成本为投入,反推出贷款利率的取值区间。三是通过区间数形式来反映违约风险补偿率、目标利润率等定价指标的不确定性,改变了现有研究将目标利润、贷款费用、违约损失等变量看作常数来定价的不合理现状。研究表明:存款利息支出率、费用支出率、违约风险补偿率及目标利润率均与贷款利率成正比。企业提高在贷款银行中的资金结算比率、存贷比率可以降低贷款利率。
