This paper presents an arbitrage-free valuation model for a credit risky security where credit risk coexists and interacts with an asset price bubble and liquidity risk (or liquidity costs). As an illustration, this model is applied to determine the fair rate for microfinance loans

This paper uses a bottom-up, reduced form credit risk model with hazard rate estimated default probabilities to compute various collateralized loan obligation (CLO) tranches’ loss probabilities and capital factors. It is shown that with respect to the loss probabilities, credit rated CLO...

This paper provides an alternative approach to Duffie and Lando (2001) for obtaining a reduced form credit risk model from a structural model. Duffie and Lando obtain a reduced form model by constructing an economy where the market sees the manager's information set plus noise. The noise makes...

Based on a reduced-form model of credit risk, we explore mispricing in the CDS spreads of North American companies and its economic content. Specifically, we develop a trading strategy using the model to trade out of sample market-neutral portfolios across the term structure of CDS contracts....
