Double Default Correlation
نویسنده
چکیده
Copula functions have become standard practice for pricing multi-name credit derivatives. Marginal default distributions are often chosen by using a simple deterministic intensity function. It is wellknown that this approach only generates default time correlation and, apart from jumps due to default events, does not generate correlation between the conditional default intensities, or the conditional spreads. In this paper we consider pricing multi-name credit derivatives taking both default time correlation as well as default intensity correlation into account. This is achieved by defining two common factors, one for each type of correlation. Further, we derive a fast way to price conditional on default events or survival for the factor model. Default and survival information is translated to information on the common factor. This approach allows us to graph conditional default intensities, or conditional CDS spreads, for simulated scenarios. These simulations show that our model results in a more realistic behavior of the conditional CDS spreads as one can distinguish both credit spread correlation as well as jumps in case of correlated default events.

Improved Modeling of Double Default Effects in Basel Ii - an Endogenous Asset Drop Model without Additional Correlation
In 2005 the Internal Ratings Based (IRB) approach of ‘Basel II’ was enhanced by a ‘treatment of double default effects’ to account for credit risk mitigation techniques such as ordinary guarantees or credit derivatives. This paper reveals several severe problems of this approach and presents a new method to account for double default effects. This new asset drop technique can be applied within ...
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 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 کاملDependence of Default Probability and Recovery Rate in Structural Credit Risk Models: Empirical Evidence from Greece
The main idea of this paper is to study the dependence between the probability of default and the recovery rate on credit portfolio and to seek empirically this relationship. We examine the dependence between PD and RR by theoretical approach. For the empirically methodology, we use the bootstrapped quantile regression and the simultaneous quantile regression. These methods allow to determinate...

This paper generalizes Moody's correlated binomial default distribution for homogeneous (exchangeable) credit portfolio, which is introduced by Witt, to the case of inhomogeneous portfolios. As inhomogeneous portfolios, we consider two cases. In the first case, we treat a portfolio whose assets have uniform default correlation and non-uniform default probabilities. We obtain the default probabi...
