Internet Appendix to “ Frailty Correlated Default
نویسنده
چکیده
This document contains results and other material that is supplementary to Duffie, Eckner, Horel, and Saita (2009). Section I extends the basic model to allow for unobserved cross-sectional heterogeneity of default risk. Section II allows for a nonlinear dependence of default intensity on distance to default, through a simple non-parametric specification. Section III provides some information on out-of-sample predictive accuracy. Finally, Section IV provides the specification and parameter estimates of the time-series model for covariates.

Common Failings: How Corporate Defaults are Correlated We develop, and apply to data on U.S. corporations from 1979-2004, tests of the standard doubly-stochastic assumption under which firms’ default times are correlated only as implied by the correlation of factors determining their default intensities. This assumption is violated in the presence of contagion or “frailty” (unobservable explana...

In this Internet Appendix, we provide further evidence on the determinants of corporate credit spreads and default risk through the lens of our investment-based model. Following the approach adopted in the main text, we present results from simulations of various calibrated model specifications. Unless otherwise noted, parameter values correspond to the baseline calibration in the main text. Se...
