Cdo Market Models Driven by Time-inhomogeneous Lévy Processes

چکیده
This paper considers a top-down approach for CDO valuation and proposes a market model. We extend previous research on this topic in two directions: on the one side, we use as driving process for the interest rate dynamics a time-inhomogeneous Lévy process, and on the other side, we do not assume that all maturities are available in the market. Only a discrete tenor structure is considered, which is in the spirit of the classical Libor market model. We create a general framework for market models based on multidimensional semimartingales. This framework is able to capture dependence between the default-free and the defaultable dynamics, as well as contagion effects. Conditions for absence of arbitrage and valuation formulas for tranches of CDOs are given.

Credit Risk in Lévy Libor Modeling: Rating Based Approach
Preface Modeling of credit risk has become a very important and rapidly expanding field of mathematical finance in the last fifteen years. Apart from a purely academic interest, the credit derivatives industry clearly needs advanced mathematical models to objectively assess and hedge this kind of risk, which was only underlined by the recent financial crisis. Although there exist several credit...
متن کاملCDO term structure modelling with Lévy processes and the relation to market models
This paper considers the modelling of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). We propose a top-down model via forward rates generalizing Filipović, Overbeck and Schmidt (2009) to the case where the forward rates are driven by a finite dimensional Lévy process. The contribution of this work is twofold: we provide conditions for absence of arbitrage in this generalized framework. Furthermore, we ...
متن کاملDiscrete Tenor Models for Credit Risky Portfolios Driven by Time-Inhomogeneous Lévy Processes
The goal of this paper is to specify dynamic term structure models with discrete tenor structure for credit portfolios in a top-down setting driven by time-inhomogeneous Lévy processes. We provide a new framework, conditions for absence of arbitrage, explicit examples, an affine setup which includes contagion and pricing formulas for STCDOs and options on STCDOs. A calibration to iTraxx data wi...
متن کاملSymmetries in Lévy Term Structure Models
Symmetry results between call and put options have been widely studied in equity markets. We provide similar symmetry results between caps and floors in a Heath–Jarrow–Morton, a LIBOR and a forward price model, driven by time-inhomogeneous Lévy processes. On the way, we review the basic properties of these models.
متن کاملRating based Lévy Libor model
In this paper we consider modeling of credit risk within the Libor market models. We extend the classical definition of the defaultfree forward Libor rate to defaultable bonds with credit ratings and develop the rating based Libor market model. As driving processes for the dynamics of the default-free and the pre-default term structure of Libor rates time-inhomogeneous Lévy processes are used. ...
