Multi-scale Time-changed Birth Processes for Pricing Multi-name Credit Derivatives
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop two parsimonious models for pricing multi-name credit derivatives. We derive closed form expression for the loss distribution, which then can be used in determining the prices of tranche and index swaps and more exotic derivatives on these contracts. Our starting point is the model of [2], which takes the loss process as a time changed birth process. We introduce stochastic parameter variations into the intensity of the loss process and use the multi-time scale approach of [4] and obtain explicit perturbation approximations to the loss distribution. We demonstrate the competence of our approach by calibrating it to the CDX index data.

Time-Changed Birth Processes and Multiname Credit Derivatives
A credit investor such as a bank granting loans to firms or an asset manager buying corporate bonds is exposed to correlated corporate default risk. A multiname credit derivative is a financial security that allows the investor to transfer this risk to the credit market. In this paper, we study the valuation and risk analysis of multiname derivatives. To capture the complex economic phenomena t...
متن کاملMultiscale Intensity Models and Name Grouping for Valuation of Multi-name Credit Derivatives
The pricing of collateralized debt obligations and other basket credit derivatives is contingent upon (i) a realistic modeling of the firms’ default times and the correlation between them, and (ii) efficient computational methods for computing the portfolio loss distribution from the individual firms’ default time distributions. Factor models, a widelyused class of pricing models, are computati...
متن کاملCopula based simulation procedures for pricing basket Credit Derivatives
This paper deals with the impact of structure of dependency and the choice of procedures for rareevent simulation on the pricing of multi-name credit derivatives such as n to default swap and Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDO). The correlation between names defaulting has an effect on the value of the basket credit derivatives. We present a copula based simulation procedure for pricing baske...
متن کاملDouble Default Correlation
Copula functions have become standard practice for pricing multi-name credit derivatives. Marginal default distributions are often chosen by using a simple deterministic intensity function. It is wellknown that this approach only generates default time correlation and, apart from jumps due to default events, does not generate correlation between the conditional default intensities, or the condi...
متن کاملMultiscale Intensity Models for Single Name Credit Derivatives
We study the pricing of defaultable derivatives, such as bonds, bond options, and credit default swaps in the reduced form framework of intensity-based models. We use regular and singular perturbation expansions on the intensity of default from which we derive approximations for the pricing functions of these derivatives. In particular, we assume an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process for the interest r...
