CDS with Counterparty Risk in a Markov Chain Copula Model with Joint Defaults
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study counterparty risk on CDS in a Markov chain model of two reference credits, the firm underlying the CDS and the CDS protection seller. More specifically, we consider a Markov chain copula model in which wrong way risk is represented by the possibility of joint defaults between the counterpart and the firm. In this set-up we derive semi-explicit formulas for most quantities of interest with regard to CDS counterparty risk, like price, CVA, EPE or hedging strategies. Model calibration is made simple by the copula property of the model. Numerical results show adequation of the behavior of EPE and CVA in the model with stylized features.

Counterparty Risk on a CDS in a Markov Chain Copula Model with Joint Defaults
In this paper we study the counterparty risk on a payer CDS in a Markov chain model of two reference credits, the firm underlying the CDS and the protection seller in the CDS. We first state few preliminary results about pricing and CVA of a CDS with counterparty risk in a general set-up. We then introduce a Markov chain copula model in which wrong way risk is represented by the possibility of ...
متن کاملValuation and Hedging of CDS Counterparty Exposure in a Markov Copula Model
A Markov model is constructed for studying the counterparty risk in a CDS contract. The ‘wrong-way risk’ in this model is accounted for by the possibility of the common default of the reference name and of the counterparty. A dynamic copula property as well as affine model specifications make pricing and calibration very efficient. We also consider the issue of dynamically hedging the CVA with ...
متن کاملDouble Impact on CVA for CDS: Wrong-Way Risk with Stochastic Recovery
Current CVA modeling framework has ignored the impact of stochastic recovery rate. Due to the possible negative correlation between default and recovery rate, stochastic recovery rate could have a doubling effect on wrong-way risk. In the case of a payer CDS, when counterparty defaults, the CDS value could be higher due to default contagion while the recovery rate may also be lower if the econo...
متن کاملCOUNTERPARTY RISK FOR CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS impact of spread volatility and default correlation
We consider counterparty risk for Credit Default Swaps (CDS) in presence of correlation between default of the counterparty and default of the CDS reference credit. Our approach is innovative in that, besides default correlation, which was taken into account in earlier approaches, we also model credit spread volatility. Stochastic intensity models are adopted for the default events, and default...
متن کاملA Bottom-Up Dynamic Model of Portfolio Credit Risk. Part I: Markov Copula Perspective
We consider a bottom-up Markovian copula model of portfolio credit risk where instantaneous contagion is possible in the form of simultaneous defaults. Due to the Markovian copula nature of the model, calibration of marginals and dependence parameters can be performed separately using a two-steps procedure, much like in a standard static copula set-up. In this sense this model solves the bottom...
