spreads, we use government bond yield data which provide a longer data history. We show that for the more recent sample period … 2008--2015, joint default probabilities based on CDS and bond yield data yield similar results. For the period 1987 …-2008, only the bond yield data can be used to shed light on European sovereign systemic stress. We also show that simple averages …

We extend the Hidden Markov Model for defaults of Crowder, Davis, and Giampieri (2005) to include covariates. The covariates enhance the prediction of transition probabilities from high to low default regimes. To estimate the model, we extend the EM estimating equations to account for the time...

We propose a novel econometric model for estimating and forecasting cross-sections of time-varying conditional default probabilities. The model captures the systematic variation in corporate default counts across e.g. rating and industry groups by using dynamic factors from a large panel of...

This paper investigates the dynamic properties of systematic default risk conditions for firms from different countries, industries, and rating groups. We use a high-dimensional nonlinear non-Gaussian state space model to estimate common components in corporate defaults in a 41 country sample...
