Double Impact on CVA for CDS: Wrong-Way Risk with Stochastic Recovery
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 economy is in a downturn. Using our recently proposed model of correlated stochastic recovery in the default time Gaussian copula framework, we demonstrate this double impact on wrong-way risk in the CVA calculation for a payer CDS. We also present a new form of Gaussian copula that correlates both default time and recovery rate.

Stochastic Intensity Models of Wrong Way Risk: Wrong Way CVA Need Not Exceed Independent CVA
Wrong way risk can be incorporated in Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) calculations in a reduced form model. Hull and White [16] introduced a CVA model that captures wrong way risk by expressing the stochastic intensity of a counterparty’s default time in terms of the financial institution’s credit exposure to the counterparty. We consider a class of reduced form CVA models that includes the formu...
متن کاملCDS with Counterparty Risk in a Markov Chain Copula Model with Joint Defaults
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 w...
متن کاملArbitrage-Free Bilateral Counterparty Risk Valuation under Collateralization and Application to Credit Default Swaps∗
We develop an arbitrage-free valuation framework for bilateral counterparty risk, where collateral is included with possible re-hypothecation. We show that the adjustment is given by the sum of two option payoff terms, where each term depends on the netted exposure, i.e. the difference between the on-default exposure and the pre-default collateral account. We then specialize our analysis to Cre...
متن کاملCounterparty 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 ...
