Pricing Credit Default Swaps Under Default Correlations and Counterparty Risk ∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we develop a generalized affine model to characterize correlated credit risk of multi-firms. When valuing credit derivatives, this new approach allows to incorporate correlative market and credit risk, interdependent default risk structure and counterparty risk into consideration. We have demonstrated our affine model not only combines the existing structural models and intensity based models, but also produces explicit formulas for the prices of credit default swaps and other credit derivatives.

Contagion and Excess Correlation in Credit Default Swaps
This paper documents an increase in the correlation of credit default swap (CDS) spread changes during the credit crisis and investigates the source of that increase. One possible explanation is that correlations increased because fundamental values became more correlated during the crisis. Alternatively, correlations may have increased because of contagion, rather than because of an increase i...
متن کاملAn Application of Genetic Network Programming Model for Pricing of Basket Default Swaps (BDS)
The credit derivatives market has experienced remarkable growth over the past decade. As such, there is a growing interest in tools for pricing of the most prominent credit derivative, the credit default swap (CDS). In this paper, we propose a heuristic algorithm for pricing of basket default swaps (BDS). For this purpose, genetic network programming (GNP), which is one of the recent evolutiona...
متن کاملBilateral counterparty risk valuation with stochastic dynamical models and application to Credit Default Swaps
We introduce the general arbitrage-free valuation framework for counterparty risk adjustments in presence of bilateral default risk, including default of the investor. We illustrate the symmetry in the valuation and show that the adjustment involves a long position in a put option plus a short position in a call option, both with zero strike and written on the residual net value of the contract...

متن کاملCredit Default Swap Valuation with Counterparty Risk ∗
Using the reduced form framework with inter-dependent default correlation, we perform valuation of credit default swap with counterparty risk. The inter-dependent default risk structure between the protection buyer, protection seller and the reference entity in a credit default swap are characterized by their correlated default intensities, where the default intensity of one party increases whe...
