Stochastic and Copula Models for Credit Derivatives
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove results relating to the exit time of a stochastic process from a region in N -dimensional space. We compute certain stochastic integrals involving the exit time. Taking a Gaussian copula model for the hitting time behavior, we prove several results on the sensitivity of quantities connected with the hitting times to parameters of the model, as well as the large-N behavior. We discuss the relationship of these results to certain credit derivative instruments. Relevant simulations are presented.

Analytic Dynamic Factor Copula Model
The Gaussian factor copula model is the market standard model for multi-name credit derivatives. Its main drawback is that factor copula models exhibit correlation smiles when calibrating against market tranche quotes. To overcome the calibration deficiency, we introduce a multi-period factor copula model by chaining one-period factor copula models. The correlation coefficients in our model are...

On computational methods for the valuation of credit derivatives Wanhe Zhang Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2010 A credit derivative is a financial instrument whose value depends on the credit risk of an underlying asset or assets. Credit risk is the possibility that the obligor fails to honor any payment obligation. This thesis proposes four ...
متن کاملCopula based simulation procedures for pricing basket Credit Derivatives
This paper deals with the impact of structure of dependency and the choice of procedures for rareevent simulation on the pricing of multi-name credit derivatives such as n to default swap and Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDO). The correlation between names defaulting has an effect on the value of the basket credit derivatives. We present a copula based simulation procedure for pricing baske...
