This paper considers the pricing and hedging of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). CDOs are complex derivatives on a pool of credits which we choose to analyse in the top down model proposed in Filipovic et al. (2009). We reflect on the implied forward rates and bring them in connection...

We study existence and uniqueness of a solution to path-dependent backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (BSVIEs, in short) with jumps, where path-dependence means the dependence of the free term and generator of a path of a càdlàg process. Furthermore, we prove path-differentiability...

We investigate default probabilities and default correlations of Merton-type credit portfolio models in stress scenarios where a common risk factor is truncated. The analysis is performed in the class of elliptical distributions, a family of light-tailed to heavy-tailed distributions...

Regime switching is a well-known approach to incorporate significant changes in the modelling of financial data, like interest rates and default intensities. In the context of one of the standard pricing models, the CIR model with jumps, we analyse the effect of regime switching on the prices of...

We model the dynamics of asset prices and associated derivatives by considerationof the dynamics of the conditional probability density process for the value of an assetat some specied time in the future. In the case where the asset is driven by Brownianmotion, an associated \master equation"...
