Extending the Merton Model: A Hybrid Approach to Assessing Credit Quality

Benos, Alexandros; Papanastasopoulos, George - EconWPA - 2005

In this paper we have combined fundamental analysis and contingent claim analysis into a hybrid model of credit risk measurement. We have extended the standard Merton approach to estimate a new risk neutral distance to default metric, assuming a more complex capital structure, adjusting for...

Idiosyncratic Risk, Systematic Risk and Stochastic Volatility: An Implementation of Merton’s Credit Risk Valuation

Hayette, Gatfaoui - EconWPA - 2004

We extend the credit risk valuation framework introduced by Gatfaoui (2003) to stochastic volatility models. We state a general setting for valuing risky debt in the light of systematic risk and idiosyncratic risk, which are known to affect each risky asset in the financial market. The option...

The impact of the 1988 Basel Accord on banks' capital ratios and credit risk-taking: an international study

Credit Risk Modeling and the Term Structure of Credit Spreads

Chen, Li; Poor, H. Vincent - EconWPA - 2003

In this paper, by applying the potential approach to characterizing default risk, a class of simple affine and quadratic models is presented to provide a unifying framework of valuing both risk-free and defaultable bonds. It has been shown that the established models can accommodate the existing...

From Fault Tree to Credit Risk Assessment: A Case Study

GATFAOUI, Hayette - EconWPA - 2005

Reliability has been largely applied to industrial systems in order to study the various possibilities of systems’ failure. The goal is to establish the chain of events leading to any system’s failure, namely the top event. Looking for the minimal paths leading to any system’s fault allows...

An Empirical Comparison of Default Swap Pricing Models

Houweling, Patrick; Vorst, Ton - EconWPA - 2001

In this paper we compare market prices of credit default swaps with model prices. We show that a simple reduced form model with a constant recovery rate outperforms the market practice of directly comparing bonds' credit spreads to default swap premiums. We find that the model works well for...
