We sketch a framework to theoretically identify the components of the value that a bank should attach to a deal and how to charge them to the relevant departments and/or to the final counterparty (client) by an internal transfer pricing system

We estimate the default probabilities implicit in the transaction prices of a new type of call provision, the make whole call. The new issuance of make whole callable bonds has supplanted that of traditional callable bonds and noncallable bonds. Make whole callable bonds have strike prices that...

In a default corridor [0,B] that the stock price can never enter, a deep out-of-the-money American put replicates a pure credit contract (Carr and Wu, 2011). Assuming discrete (one-period-ahead predictable) cash flows, we show an endogenous credit-risk model generates, along with the default...

Developing a closed-form integral Vasicek representation of loss distribution for non-uniform credit portfolio (i.e. with varying PDs and structured correlations), which i) is non-iterative and computationally fast as opposed to standard Monte-Carlo, and ii) enables efficient analytic estimators...

Central bank lending to commercial banks is typically collateralized which reduces central bank's credit risk exposure to “double default events” when the counterparty and the issuer of the underlying collateral asset both default in a short period of time. This paper presents a simple model...

We study conditions for existence, uniqueness and invariance of the comprehensive nonlinear valuation equations first introduced in Pallavicini et al (2011). These equations take the form of semi-linear PDEs and Forward-Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (FBSDEs). After summarizing the...

We show how, in a Merton-type model with bankruptcy, the dividend policy impacts the values of equity and debt as well as credit risk. The recent financial crisis has emphasized the fact that excessive dividends can lead to financial distress. There is a strong need to set qualitative and...

We consider the problem of quantifying credit and funding risks in the presence of initial margin calculated by dynamically updated risk measures, such as Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall. The analytic scaling approach proposed in Andersen et al. [2] is generalized from a system driven by...
