We derive a closed-form expression for the bilateral credit valuation adjustment of a credit default swap in presence of simultaneous defaults. We develop our analysis under a default intensity model specified by a class of three-dimensional subordinators, allowing for default dependence through...

We review different theoretical and empirical approaches for measuring the impact of liquidity on CDS prices. We start by reduced form models incorporating liquidity as an additional discount rate. We review Chen, Fabozzi and Sverdlove (2008) and Buhler and Trapp (2006, 2008), adopting different...

We develop a tractable partial equilibrium model to analyze the impact on the bond market generated by a ban on naked credit default swaps. We demonstrate that such a ban will have a negligible impact on the borrowing costs if CDS speculators are risk averse and take positions which are small...

We develop a model of endogenous collateral requirements in the credit default swap (CDS) market. Our model provides an interpretation for the empirical findings of Capponi et al. (2020), according to which extreme tail risk measures have a higher explanatory power for observed collateral...
