A Bottom-Up Dynamic Model of Portfolio Credit Risk. Part I: Markov Copula Perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a bottom-up Markovian copula model of portfolio credit risk where instantaneous contagion is possible in the form of simultaneous defaults. Due to the Markovian copula nature of the model, calibration of marginals and dependence parameters can be performed separately using a two-steps procedure, much like in a standard static copula set-up. In this sense this model solves the bottom-up top-down puzzle which the CDO industry had been trying to do for a long time. It can be applied to any dynamic credit issue like consistent valuation and hedging of CDSs, CDOs and counterparty risk on credit portfolios.

Dynamic Hedging of Portfolio Credit Risk in a Markov Copula Model
We consider a bottom-up Markovian copula model of portfolio credit risk where dependence among credit names mainly stems from the possibility of simultaneous defaults. Due to the Markovian copula nature of the model, calibration of marginals and dependence parameters can be performed separately using a two-steps procedure, much like in a standard static copula set-up. In addition, the model adm...
متن کاملA Bottom-Up Dynamic Model of Portfolio Credit Risk. Part II: Common-Shock Interpretation, Calibration and Hedging issues
In this paper, we prove that the conditional dependence structure of default times in the Markov model of [4] belongs to the class of Marshall-Olkin copulas. This allows us to derive a factor representation in terms of “common-shocks”, the latter beeing able to trigger simultaneous defaults in some pre-specified groups of obligors. This representation depends on the current default state of the...
متن کاملA Bottom-Up Dynamic Model of Portfolio Credit Risk with Stochastic Intensities and Random Recoveries
In [5], the authors introduced a Markov copula model of portfolio credit risk where pricing and hedging can be done in a sound theoretical and practical way. Further theoretical backgrounds and practical details are developped in [6] and [7] where numerical illustrations assumed deterministic intensities and constant recoveries. In the present paper, we show how to incorporate stochastic defaul...
متن کاملDynamic Modeling of Portfolio Credit Risk with Common Shocks
We consider a bottom-up Markovian model of portfolio credit risk where dependence among credit names stems from the possibility of simultaneous defaults. A common shocks interpretation of the model is possible so that efficient convolution recursion procedures are available for pricing and hedging CDO tranches, conditionally on any given state of the Markov model. Calibration of marginals and d...
متن کاملCredit migration and derivatives pricing using copulas
The multivariate modelling of default risk is a crucial aspect of the pricing of credit derivative products referencing a portfolio of underlying assets, and the evaluation of Value at Risk of such portfolios. This paper proposes a model for the joint dynamic behavior of credit ratings for several rms. Namely, individual credit ratings are modelled by univariate continuous time Markov chain, w...
