Rating based Lévy Libor model
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we consider modeling of credit risk within the Libor market models. We extend the classical definition of the defaultfree forward Libor rate to defaultable bonds with credit ratings and develop the rating based Libor market model. As driving processes for the dynamics of the default-free and the pre-default term structure of Libor rates time-inhomogeneous Lévy processes are used. Credit migration is modeled by a conditional Markov chain, whose properties are preserved under different forward Libor measures. Conditions for absence of arbitrage in the model are derived and valuation formulae for some common credit derivatives in this setup are presented.

Credit Risk in Lévy Libor Modeling: Rating Based Approach
Preface Modeling of credit risk has become a very important and rapidly expanding field of mathematical finance in the last fifteen years. Apart from a purely academic interest, the credit derivatives industry clearly needs advanced mathematical models to objectively assess and hedge this kind of risk, which was only underlined by the recent financial crisis. Although there exist several credit...
متن کاملEfficient and Accurate Log-lévy Approximations to Lévy Driven Libor Models
The LIBOR market model is very popular for pricing interest rate derivatives, but is known to have several pitfalls. In addition, if the model is driven by a jump process, then the complexity of the drift term is growing exponentially fast (as a function of the tenor length). In this work, we consider a Lévy-driven LIBOR model and aim at developing accurate and efficient log-Lévy approximations...
متن کاملOn the Valuation of Compositions in Lévy Term Structure Models
We derive explicit valuation formulae for an exotic pathdependent interest rate derivative, namely an option on the composition of LIBOR rates. The formulae are based on Fourier transform methods for option pricing. We consider two models for the evolution of interest rates: an HJM-type forward rate model and a LIBOR-type forward price model. Both models are driven by a time-inhomogeneous Lévy ...
متن کاملCdo Market Models Driven by Time-inhomogeneous Lévy Processes
This paper considers a top-down approach for CDO valuation and proposes a market model. We extend previous research on this topic in two directions: on the one side, we use as driving process for the interest rate dynamics a time-inhomogeneous Lévy process, and on the other side, we do not assume that all maturities are available in the market. Only a discrete tenor structure is considered, whi...
متن کاملThe Lévy Libor model with default risk
In this paper we present a model for the dynamic evolution of the term structure of default-free and defaultable interest rates. The model is set in the Libor market model framework but in contrast to the classical diffusion-driven setup, its dynamics are driven by a time-inhomogeneous Lévy process which allows us to better capture the real-world dynamics of credit spreads. We present necessary...
