Sovereign Debt Renegotiation and Credit Default Swaps
A credit default swap (CDS) contract provides insurance against default. After a country defaults, the country and its lenders usually negotiate over the share of the defaulted debt to be repaid. This paper incorporates CDS contracts into a sovereign default model and demonstrates that the existence of a CDS market results in lower default probability, higher debt levels, and lower nancing cost...
متن کاملPricing Credit Default Swaps Under Default Correlations and Counterparty Risk ∗
In this paper, we develop a generalized affine model to characterize correlated credit risk of multi-firms. When valuing credit derivatives, this new approach allows to incorporate correlative market and credit risk, interdependent default risk structure and counterparty risk into consideration. We have demonstrated our affine model not only combines the existing structural models and intensity...
متن کاملCredit Default Swaps and Corporate Cash Holdings∗
The introduction of credit default swaps (CDS) trading on an underlying firm may influence its future access to external financing and, hence, its precautionary demand for cash. In this paper, we empirically estimate this effect of CDS trading, using a comprehensive sample of North American corporate CDS introductions between 1997 and 2009. We show that corporate cash holdings, as a proportion ...
متن کاملDebt Subordination and The Pricing of Credit Default Swaps
First passage models, where corporate assets undergo a random walk and default occurs if the assets fall below a threshold, provide an attractive framework for modeling the default process. Recently such models have been generalized to allow a fluctuating default threshold or equivalently a fluctuating total recovery fraction R. For a given company a particular type of debt has a recovery fract...
متن کاملCredit Risk and IFRS : The Case of Credit Default Swaps

Given that one of the putative benefits of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is transparency of accounting information, this study evaluates the impact of IFRS on the pricing of credit spreads in the over-the-counter Credit Default Swap (CDS) market. Using a difference in differences methodolog...
