This article describes a dynamic discrete-time multi-step Markov model for the losses experienced by a given credit portfolio, and develops a method for the simultaneous calibration of the model to all available relevant market prices (for CDO's, forward-start CDO's, options on CDO's, leveraged...

Recently, incomplete-market techniques have been used to develop a model applicable to credit default swaps (CDSs) with results obtained that are quite different from those obtained using the market-standard model. This article makes use of the new incomplete-market model to further study CDS...

CDS (credit default swap) contracts that were initiated some time ago frequently have spreads and/or maturities that are not available on the current market of CDSs, and are thus illiquid. This article introduces an incomplete-market approach to valuing illiquid CDSs that, in contrast to the...
