Valuation and Optimal Strategies of Convertible Bonds
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article presents a contingent claim valuation of a callable convertible bond with the issuer’s credit risk. The optimal call, voluntary conversion, and bankruptcy strategies are jointly determined by shareholders and bondholders to maximize the equity value and the bond value, respectively. This model not only incorporates tax benefits, bankruptcy costs, refunding costs, and a call notice period, but also takes account of the issuer’s debt size and structure. The numerical results show that the predicted optimal call policies are generally consistent with recent empirical findings; therefore, calling convertible bonds too late or too early can be rational. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A Closed-form Analytical Solution for the Valuation of Convertible Bonds With Constant Dividend Yield
In this paper, a closed-form analytical solution for pricing convertible bonds on a single underlying asset with constant dividend yield is presented. To the author’s best knowledge, never has a closed-form analytical formula been found for American-style convertible bonds (CBs) of finite maturity time although there have been quite a few approximate solutions and numerical approaches proposed....
متن کاملPricing convertible bonds based on a multi-stage compound option model
In this paper, we introduce the concept of multi-stage compound options to the valuation of convertible bonds. Rather than evaluating a nested high-dimensional integral that has arisen from the valuation of multistage compound options, we found that adopting the Finite Difference Method (FDM) to solve the BlackScholes equation for each stage actually resulted in a better numerical efficiency. B...
