With the recent significant growth in the single-name credit default swap (CDS) market has come the need for accurate and computationally efficient models to value these instruments. While the model developed by Duffie, Pan, and Singleton (2000) can be used, the solution is numerical (solving a...

In this paper, we study inflation risk and the term structure of inflation risk premia in the U.S. nominal interest rates through the Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS) and an analytical two-factor Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) model with correlated real rate and inflation. The...

Using a large data set on credit default swaps, we study how default risk interacts with interest-rate risk and liquidity risk to jointly determine the term structure of credit spreads. We classify the reference companies into two broad industry sectors, two broad credit rating classes, and two...
