CDS Market Formulas and Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we analyze market payoffs of Credit Default Swaps (CDS) and we derive rigorous standard market formulas for pricing options on CDS. Formulas are based on modelling CDS spreads which are consistent with simple market payoffs, and we introduce a subfiltration structure allowing all measures to be equivalent to the risk neutral measure. Then we investigate market CDS spreads through change of measure and consider possible choices of rates for modelling a complete term structure of CDS spreads. We also consider approximations and apply them to pricing of specific market contracts. Results are derived in a probabilistic framework similar to that of Jamshidian (2004). ∗Speaker. We are grateful to Massimo Masetti for his help with the CMCDS examples.

A Unified Framework for Pricing Credit and Equity Derivatives
We propose a model which can be jointly calibrated to the corporate bond term structure and equity option volatility surface of the same company. Our purpose is to obtain explicit bond and equity option pricing formulas that can be calibrated to find a risk neutral model that matches a set of observed market prices. This risk neutral model can then be used to price more exotic, illiquid or over...
متن کاملCandidate Market Models and the Calibrated CIR + + Stochastic Intensity Model for Credit Default Swap Options and Callable Floaters ∗
We consider the standard Credit Default Swap (CDS) payoff and some alternative approximated versions, stemming from different conventions on the premium and protection legs. We consider standard running CDS (RCDS), upfront CDS and postponed-payments running CDS (PRCDS). Each different definition implies a different definition of forward CDS rate, which we consider with some detail. We introduce...

The Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008 is considered by three top economists the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s [Pendery, 2009]. The crisis played a major role in the failure of key businesses, declines in consumer wealth, and significant downturn in economic activities leading to the 2008-2012 global recession and contributing to the European sovereign-debt cr...
متن کاملCredit Default Swaps (CDS) and their Role in the Credit Risk Market
The market for credit default swaps (CDS) has experienced explosive growth in the past. Credit default swaps have existed since the early 1990s and the market increased tremendously starting in 2003. By the end of 2007, the outstanding amount was $62.2 trillion, falling to $38.6 trillion by the end of 2008. The recent crisis has revealed several shortcomings in CDS market practices and structur...
متن کاملA Theory of Liquidity Spillovers Between Bond and CDS Markets
During the recent debt crisis in Europe, policy makers responded to the controversy surrounding CDS by implementing a series of policies that banned CDS trading. Sambalaibat (2014) documents that a temporary CDS ban increased bond market liquidity but a permanent ban instead decreased bond market liquidity. To explain these patterns, I build a search-theoretic model of OTC bond and CDS markets ...
