We analyze the connections between the credit spreads that the same credit risk commands in different currencies. We show that the empirically observed differences in these credit spreads are mostly driven by the dependency between the default risk of the obligor and the exchange rate. In our...

In single-obligor default risk modelling, using a background filtration in conjunction with a suitable embedding hypothesis (generally known as H-hypothesis or immersion property) has proven a very successful tool to separate the actual default event from the model for the default arrival...

In this paper, we present a model for the joint stochastic evolution of the cumulative loss process of a credit portfolio and of its probability distribution. At any given time, the loss distribution of the portfolio is represented using forward transition rates, i.e. the transition rates of a...
