In this paper, we build a bridge between different reduced-form approaches to pricing defaultable claims. In particular, we showhow the well known formulas by Duffie et al. [12] and by Elliott et al.[14] are related. Moreover, in the spirit of Collin Dufresne et al. [8], wepropose a simple...

We consider the modelling of credit migration risk and the pricing of migration derivativesour approach enlarges the traditional setup where credit risk is based on default solely.We implement the Regime Shifting Markov Mixture model developed in Andersson (2007)and Andersson and Vanini (2008)...

We consider the modelling of credit migration risk and the pricing of migrationderivatives. To construct a Point-in-Time (PIT) rating migration matrix as the underlyingvalue for derivative pricing we show first that the Affine Markov Chain models isnot sufficient to generate PIT migration...

How does renegotiation affect contracts between a principal and an agent subject to persistent private information and moral hazard? This paper introduces a concept of renegotiationproofness, which adapts to stochastic games the concepts of weak renegotiation-proofness and internal consistency...

Banks and other lenders often transfer credit risk to liberate capital for further loan intermediation. This paper aims to explore the design, prevalence and effectiveness of credit risk transfer (CRT). The focus is on the costs and benefits for the efficiency and stability of the financial...
