An Asset Based Model of Defaultable Convertible Bonds with Endogenised Recovery
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a two factor valuation model for convertible bonds when the firm may default. We endogenize both default and the recovery value of a defaulted bond. A sophisticated numerical framework enables us to specify numerically and financially consistent boundary conditions and inequality constraints. We investigate the affect of changing the default, recovery and loss specification. The affect of introducing a stochastic interest rate is quantified, and asset and interest rate delta and gammas are found. The bond’s sensitivity to interest rate changes is about one tenth that of a corresponding defaultable straight bond, chiefly due to the presence of the conversion feature.

A comprehensive unified model of structural and reduced form type for defaultable fixed income bonds
The aim of this paper is to generalize the comprehensive structural model for defaultable fixed income bonds (considered in R. Agliardi, A comprehensive structural model for defaultable fixed-income bondsو Quant. Finance 11 (2011), no. 5, 749--762.) into a comprehensive unified model of structural and reduced form models. In our model the bond holders receive the deterministic co...

The Pricing of Bermudan Options on Defaultable Bonds In this paper, we modify the Nelson and Ramaswamy (1990)-Ho, Stapleton and Subrahmanyam (1995) diffusion approximation. The modification allows the approximation of correlated lognormal diffusion processes. The general method is illustrated by pricing a Bermudan-style put option on the minimum of two asset prices. We then apply the method to ...

This paper develops a structural model for defaultable bonds in a fuzzy environment. The numerical results calculated from the closed-form solution show that the fuzziness of the stochastic underlying asset and of bankruptcy costs have material impact on the term structures of credit spreads and on the duration of
