Bank use of sovereign CDS in the eurozone crisis : hedging and risk incentives

Acharya, Viral V.; Gündüz, Yalın; Johnson, Tim - 2018

Using a comprehensive dataset from German banks, we document the usage of sovereign credit default swaps (CDS) during the European sovereign debt crisis of 2008-2013. Banks used the sovereign CDS market to extend, rather than hedge, their long exposures to sovereign risk during this period....

Koziol, Christian; Koziol, Philipp; Schön, Thomas - 2014

Correlated defaults and systemic risk are clearly priced in credit portfolio securities such as CDOs or index CDSs. In this paper we study an extensive CDX data set for evidence whether correlated defaults are also present in the underlying CDS market. We develop a cash flow based top-down...

The determinants of CDS spreads : evidence from the model space

Pelster, Matthias; Vilsmeier, Johannes - 2016

We apply Bayesian Model Averaging and a frequentistic model space analysis to assess the pricing-determinants of credit default swaps (CDS). Our study focuses on the complete model space of plausible models covering most of the variables and specifications used elsewhere in the literature,...

Restructuring counterparty credit risk

Albanese, Claudio; Brigo, Damiano; Oertel, Frank - 2013

We introduce an innovative theoretical framework for the valuation and replication of derivative transactions between … defaultable entities based on the principle of arbitrage freedom. Our framework extends the traditional formulations based on …, configurations where all derivative transactions are cleared through a central counterparty (CCP). We compare the various structuring …

Scaling, unwinding and greening QE in a calibrated portfolio balance model

Riedler, Jesper; Koziol, Tina - 2021

We develop a portfolio balance model to analyze the impact of euro area quantitative easing (QE) on asset yields. Our model features two countries each populated by two agents representing their respective banking and mututal fund sectors. Agents, which differ in their preferences for assets,...

Euro area banks' interest rate risk exposure to level, slope and curvature swings in the yield curve

Foos, Daniel; Lütkebohmert-Holtz, Eva; Markovych, Mariia; … - 2017

This paper investigates interest rate risk exposures of listed euro area banks which fall under the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM). We analyze the period 2005 to 2014, as it includes times of very low interest rates in which banks may have pursued a more risky maturity transformation...

Tests for jumps in yield spreads

Winkelmann, Lars; Yao, Wenying - 2021

This paper develops high-frequency econometric methods to test for jumps in the spread of bond yields. We derive a coherent inference procedure that detects a jump in the yield spread only if at least one of the two underlying bonds displays a jump. We formalize the test as a sequential...

A structural investigation of quantitative easing

Böhl, Gregor; Goy, Gavin; Strobel, Felix - 2021

Did the Federal Reserve's Quantitative Easing (QE) in the aftermath of the financial crisis have macroeconomic effects? To answer this question, we estimate a large-scale DSGE model over the sample from 1998 until 2020, including data of the Fed's balance sheet. We allow for QE to affect the...
