We consider the pricing of European-style structured credit payoff in a static framework, where the underlying default times are independent given a common factor. A practical application would consist of the pricing of nth-to-default baskets under the Gaussian copula model (GCM). We provide...

We consider the pricing of European structured products under a 'static' framework, particularly the Gaussian copula model (GCM). Being hedged continuously against individual spread moves with single name Credit Default Swaps, we calculate the associated replication errors. Therefore, we...

quot;Limits of Arbitragequot; theories require that the marginal investor in a particular asset market be a specialized arbitrageur. Then the constraints faced by this arbitrageur (i.e. capital constraints) feed through into asset prices. We examine the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market in...

quot;Limits of Arbitragequot; theories hypothesize that the marginal investor in a particular asset market is a specialized arbitrageur rather than a diversified representative investor. We examine the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market in this light. We show that the risk of homeowner...
