Measuring Credit Spread Risk: Incorporating The Tails
It is widely known that the small but looming possibility of default renders the expected return distribution for financial products containing credit risk to be highly skewed and fat tailed. In this paper we apply recent techniques developed for incorporating the additional risk faced by changes in swap spreads. Using data from the US, UK, Germany, and Japan, we find that the risk faced from l...
متن کاملOn Credit Spread Slopes andPredicting Bank Risk
We examine whether credit-spread curves, engendered by a mandatory subordinated-debt requirement for banks, would help predict bank risk. We extract the credit-spread curves each quarter for each bank in our sample, and analyze the information content of credit-spread slopes. We find that credit-spread slopes are significant predictors of future credit spreads. However, credit-spread slopes do ...
متن کاملMeasuring Marginal Risk Contributions in Credit Portfolios
We consider the problem of decomposing the credit risk in a portfolio into a sum of risk contributions associated with individual obligors or transactions. For some standard measures of risk — including value-at-risk and expected shortfall — the total risk can be usefully decomposed into a sum of marginal risk contributions from individual obligors. Each marginal risk contribution is the condit...
متن کاملIdiosyncratic Downside Risk and the Credit spread Puzzle
The puzzle is that spreads on corporate bonds are about twice as large as can be explained by defaults, taxes and illiquidity. The higher a bond’s rating and the shorter its maturity, the greater is the puzzle. We use a large dataset of bonds to identify the relevant risk factors. Systematic factors fail to generate large spreads, regardless of whether they are conventional (market covariance, ...
متن کاملLiquidity Risk, Credit Risk and the Overnight Interest Rate Spread: A Stochastic Volatility Modelling Approach
In this paper we model the volatility of the spread between the overnight interest rate and the central bank policy rate (the policy spread) for the euro area and the UK during the two main phases of the financial crisis that began in late 2007. During the crisis, the policy spread exhibited signs of volatility, owing to the breakdown in interbank market activity. The determinants of this volat...
