Optional Defaultable Markets
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper deals with defaultable markets, one of the main research areas of mathematical finance. It proposes a new approach to the theory of such markets using techniques from the calculus of optional stochastic processes on unusual probability spaces, which was not presented before. The paper is a foundation paper and contains a number of fundamental results on modeling of defaultable markets, pricing and hedging of defaultable claims and results on the probability of default under such conditions. Moreover, several important examples are presented: a new pricing formula for a defaultable bond and a new pricing formula for credit default swap. Furthermore, some results on the absence of arbitrage for markets on unusual probability spaces and markets with default are also provided.

Valuation Model of Defaultable Bond Values in Emerging Markets
This paper develops a model to value defaultable bonds in emerging markets. Default occurs when some signaling process hits a pre-defined default barrier. The signaling variable is considered to be some macro-economic variables such as foreign exchange rates. The dynamics of the default barrier depend on the volatility and the drift of the signaling variable. We derive a closedform solution of ...

This paper develops a stress-testing model to value defaultable bonds under stressful market conditions. Default occurs when some signaling process hits a pre-defined default barrier. The signaling variable is considered to be some macro-economic variables such as foreign exchange rates. The dynamics of the default barrier depends on the volatility and the drift of the signaling variable. We de...
متن کاملHedging of Defaultable Claims
The goal of these lectures is to present a survey of recent developments in the practically important and challenging area of hedging credit risk. In a companion work, Bielecki et al. (2004a), we presented techniques and results related to the valuation of defaultable claims. It should be emphasized that in most existing papers on credit risk, the risk-neutral valuation of defaultable claims is...
متن کاملArbitrage Pricing of Single-name Credit Derivatives
In existing pricing theories, pricing of single-name credit default swaps (CDSs) and their options makes no reference to the prices of defaultable bonds, the underlying assets of those derivatives. Such a pricing practice does not exclude possible arbitrage across bond and CDS markets. In this paper, we introduce a new theory that treats the two markets as one and thus ensures price consistency...
متن کاملCandidate Market Models and the Calibrated CIR + + Stochastic Intensity Model for Credit Default Swap Options and Callable Floaters ∗
We consider the standard Credit Default Swap (CDS) payoff and some alternative approximated versions, stemming from different conventions on the premium and protection legs. We consider standard running CDS (RCDS), upfront CDS and postponed-payments running CDS (PRCDS). Each different definition implies a different definition of forward CDS rate, which we consider with some detail. We introduce...
