Discrete Credit Barrier Models
نویسنده
چکیده
The model introduced in this article is designed to provide a consistent representation for both the real-world and pricing measures for the credit process. We find that good agreement with historical and market data can be achieved across all credit ratings simultaneously. The model is characterized by an underlying stochastic process that takes on values on a discrete lattice and represents credit quality. Rating transitions are associated to barrier crossings and default events are associated with an absorbing state. The stochastic process has state dependent volatility and jumps which are estimated by using empirical migration and default rates. A risk-neutralizing drift is estimated to consistently match the average spread curves corresponding to all the various ratings.

Cross- and Autocorrelation in multi-period Credit Portfolio Models
We investigate different well-known multi-step credit portfolio models, all endowed with cross dependency, in their time-discretized versions. Refining then the time discretization we show that the correlation structure of only one model is invariant under this refinement whereas the others are not. In particular, the correlation structure of Markov-Chain migration model converges to the limit ...

According to the adverse consequences that are brought by financial distress for companies, economy and financial –monetary institutions, the use of methods that can predict the occurrence of financial failure and prevent the loss of wealth is of great importance. The major models of credit risk assessment are based on retrospective information and using the methods which use the updated market...
متن کاملDiscrete versus continuous state switching models for portfolio credit risk ¬リニ
Dynamic models for credit rating transitions are important ingredients for dynamic credit risk analyses. We compare the properties of two such models that have recently been put forward. The models mainly differ in their treatment of systematic risk, which can be modeled either using discrete states (e.g., expansion versus recession) or continous states. It turns out that the implied asset corr...

In this article, we propose a numerical algorithm for computing price of discrete single and double barrier option under the emph{Black-Scholes} model. In virtue of some general transformations, the partial differential equations of option pricing in different monitoring dates are converted into simple diffusion equations. The present method is fast compared to alterna...
متن کاملA Continuous Time Structural Model for Insolvency, Recovery, and Rollover Risks
We propose a unified structural credit risk model incorporating insolvency, recovery and rollover risks. The firm finances itself mainly by issuing shortand long-term debt. Short-term debt can have either a discrete or a more realistic staggered tenor structure. We show that a unique threshold strategy (i.e., a bank run barrier) exists for short-term creditors to decide when to withdraw their f...
