A Libor Market Model with Default Risk
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a new credit risk model for credit derivatives is presented. The model is based upon the ‘Libor market’ modelling framework for default-free interest rates. We model effective default-free forward rates and effective forward credit spreads as lognormal diffusion processes, and recovery is modelled as a fraction of the par value of the defaulted claim. The newly introduced survival-based pricing measures are a valuable tool in the pricing of defaultable payoffs and allow a straightforward derivation of the no-arbitrage dynamics of forward rates and forward credit spreads. The model can be calibrated to the prices of defaultable coupon bonds, asset swap rates and default swap rates for which closed-form solutions are given. For options on default swaps and caps on credit spreads, approximate solutions of high accuracy exist. This pricing formula for options on default swaps is made exact in a modified modelling framework using an analogy to the swap measure, the default swap measure.

Credit Risk in Lévy Libor Modeling: Rating Based Approach
Preface Modeling of credit risk has become a very important and rapidly expanding field of mathematical finance in the last fifteen years. Apart from a purely academic interest, the credit derivatives industry clearly needs advanced mathematical models to objectively assess and hedge this kind of risk, which was only underlined by the recent financial crisis. Although there exist several credit...
متن کاملTime - inhomogeneous Lévy processes in interest rate and credit risk models
In this thesis, we present interest rate models and a credit risk model, all driven by time-inhomogeneous Lévy processes, i.e. stochastic processes whose increments are independent but in general not stationary. In the interest rate part, we discuss a Heath–Jarrow–Morton forward rate model (the Lévy term structure model), a model for forward bond prices (the Lévy forward price model) and a Libo...
متن کاملRating based Lévy Libor model
In this paper we consider modeling of credit risk within the Libor market models. We extend the classical definition of the defaultfree forward Libor rate to defaultable bonds with credit ratings and develop the rating based Libor market model. As driving processes for the dynamics of the default-free and the pre-default term structure of Libor rates time-inhomogeneous Lévy processes are used. ...
متن کاملThe Lévy Libor model with default risk
In this paper we present a model for the dynamic evolution of the term structure of default-free and defaultable interest rates. The model is set in the Libor market model framework but in contrast to the classical diffusion-driven setup, its dynamics are driven by a time-inhomogeneous Lévy process which allows us to better capture the real-world dynamics of credit spreads. We present necessary...
متن کاملA defaultable HJM multiple-curve term structure model
In the aftermath of the 2007–09 financial crisis, a variety of spreads have developed between quantities that had been essentially the same until then, notably LIBOR-OIS spreads, LIBOR-OIS swap spreads, and basis swap spreads. In this paper we study the valuation of LIBOR interest rate derivatives in a multiple-curve setup, which accounts for a discrepancy between a risk-free discount curve and...
