Credit Derivatives in an Affine Framework (Working Paper Version)
نویسندگان
چکیده
A general and efficient method for valuing credit derivatives based on multiple entities is developed in an affine framework. This includes interdependence of market and credit risk, joint credit migration and counterparty default risk of multiple firms. As an application we provide closed form expressions for the joint distribution of default times, default correlations, and default swap spreads in the presence of counterparty default risk. An extension of this framework towards modeling default correlations of a large credit portfolio is also discussed.

Credit Derivatives in an Affine Framework
We develop a general and efficient method for valuating credit derivatives based on multiple entities in an affine framework. This includes interdependence of market and credit risk, joint credit migration and counterparty default risk of multiple firms. As an application we provide closed form expressions for the joint distribution of default times, default correlations, and credit default spr...
متن کاملAffine Markov chain model of multifirm credit migration
This paper introduces and explores variations on a natural extension of the intensity based doubly stochastic framework for credit default. The essential addition proposed here is to introduce a Markov chain for the “credit rating” of each firm, which are independent conditioned on a stochastic time change, or equivalently a stochastic intensity. The stochastic time change is then combined with...
متن کاملPricing Credit Default Swaps Under Default Correlations and Counterparty Risk ∗
In this paper, we develop a generalized affine model to characterize correlated credit risk of multi-firms. When valuing credit derivatives, this new approach allows to incorporate correlative market and credit risk, interdependent default risk structure and counterparty risk into consideration. We have demonstrated our affine model not only combines the existing structural models and intensity...
متن کاملFast CDO computations in the affine Markov chain model
Abstract: It is shown that collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), which are complex basket credit derivatives depending on a large number M of firms (M ≥ 100 is typical in most contexts), can be priced in a mathematically consistent and computationally efficient manner within the affine Markov chain (AMC) framework for multifirm credit migration introduced in a companion paper [Hurd and Kuznet...
متن کاملSemi-Analytical Valuation of Basket Credit Derivatives in Intensity-Based Models
This paper presents a semi-analytical valuation method for basket credit derivatives in a flexible intensity-based model. Default intensities are modeled as correlated affine jump-diffusions. An empirical application documents that the model fits market prices of benchmark basket credit derivatives reasonably well, consistent with the observed correlation skew. Hence, I argue, contrary to comme...
