Analyzing the Credit Default Swap Market Using Cartesian Genetic Programming
نویسندگان
چکیده
The credit default swap has become well-known as one of the causes of the 2007-2010 credit crisis but more research is vitally needed to analyze and define its impact more precisely and help the financial market transparency. This paper uses cartesian genetic programming as a discovery tool for finding the relationship between credit default swap spreads and debts and studying the arbitrage channel. (Arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a price difference between markets.) To our knowledge this work is the first attempt toward studying the credit default swap market via an evolutionary process and our results prove that cartesian genetic programming is human competitive and it has the potential to become a regression discovery tool in credit default swap market.

An 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 کاملDeterminants of Credit Default Swap Spread: Evidence from Japan
In this paper, we investigate the determinants of credit default swap (CDS) spread for the Japanese market, which is one of the major CDS markets in the world. Our assessment of literature indicates that there is a lack of related empirical research using data from the Japanese market. By analyzing data from 2001 to 2004, the empirical results show that the theoretical determinants, including l...
متن کاملA Joint Analysis of the Term Structure of Credit Default Swap Spreads and the Implied Volatility Surface
This paper presents a joint analysis of the term structure of credit default swap (CDS) spreads and the implied volatility surface. The rapid development of the CDS market has provided convenient products to extract credit risk, and its interaction with equity volatility has been analyzed in many studies. However, in most of them the 5-year credit default swap spread is used to measure credit r...
متن کاملInvestigating the challenges of data, pricing and modelling to enable agent based simulation of the Credit Default Swap market
The Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008 is considered by three top economists the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s [Pendery, 2009]. The crisis played a major role in the failure of key businesses, declines in consumer wealth, and significant downturn in economic activities leading to the 2008-2012 global recession and contributing to the European sovereign-debt cr...
متن کاملA Libor Market Model with Default Risk
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...
