We extend the model presented in Bonollo et al. by introducing a multiscenario framework that allows for a richer and more realistic specification, including non-static (stochastic) probabilities of default and losses given default. Though more complex from a computational point of view, the...

We try and apply the single-scenario version of the general model in Castagna, Mercurio and Mosconi (2010) to the pricing of CDOs. We are able to establish a unified approach to both evaluate the Credit VaR and the risk of structured products, and thus evaluate on a consistent and uniform basis...

This paper deals with the effects of concentration (single name and sectoral) and contagion risk on credit portfolios. Results are obtained for the value at risk of the portfolio loss distribution, in the analytical framework originally developed by Vasicek in 1991 [1]. VAR is expressed as a sum...
