Credit RiskCredit Risk
In financial markets credit risk is the risk associated to the possibility that a counterparty in a financial
contract will not fulfill a contractual commitment to meet her/his obligation stated in the contract.

Under these hypothesis, if HT represents a cash-flow at time T > 0, then its value Ht at time t < T is given by:
EXAMPLE: Binary bond.
• Q(HT=h1)=p1 (no default)

• The random variable HT represents the final value of the defaultable bond.
• HT takes value hi with a priori probability pi (i=1,…,n): Q(HT=hi)=pi.
•At time t, the price BtT of a defaultable bond with maturity T>0, is given by:

A defaultable bond is a financial contract that, at a pre-specified instant of time (maturity), delivers to the owner a
certain amount of money, if the default never occurs.

The The Information-based Information-based ApproachApproach
There exist an Ft-adapted process accessible to market agents, modelling the flow of information
concerning future cash-flow of the defaultable bond:
The information-process (1/2)
• σ is a constant (information parameter).
• HT is an FT-measurable random variable.
• βtT is a standard Brownian bridge on [0, T] independent from HT (it is FT- measurable! ).

property.

t=0: all the information is in the a priori probability distributions
t in (0,T): news, rumors, stories and speculation are mixed together, building the information about HT arriving on the market.
t=T: the moment of truth.

An European call option is a financial contract that gives the owner the right to buy a pre-
specified asset (the underlying) at a pre-specified price (the strike price) at a given instant of time.
European call option (1/3)
• T is the maturity of the defaultable bond.
• t is the maturity of the option.
• K is the strike price.

Modeling more complex situations: how to describe multiple cash-flow?
Idea: if we have n cash-flows, each at time Ti, we can built n information processes ξ(i) , i=1,…,n, describing the information
regarding the corresponding cash-flows.
Derivatives and Coupon Derivatives and Coupon BondBondCredit Default Swap
25/31
A Credit Default Swap (CDS) is a credit derivative between two counterparties, whereby one makes periodic payments (g) to the other and receives the promise of a payoff (h) if a
third party defaults. The former party receives credit protection and is said to be the buyer while the other party provides credit protection and is said to be the seller. The
third party is known as the reference entity. It often happen that the coupon g and the payoff h are chosen in
such way the value Vt of the CDS at time t=0 is V0=0.

A Coupon Bond is a contract between a buyer anda seller in which at time t=0 the buyer gives to the seller p euro (principal). The seller will pay to the buyer at some
pre-specified dates T1 ,…, Tn a pre-specified amount of money (coupon) ci , i=1,…, n, and at time Tn the seller will
pay even the principal p.

• A new class of models for Credit-risk has been analyzed.
• Central role of the information arriving on the market.
• It is possible to obtain bond price process (relating the a priori probability with the a posteriori).
• Explicit formula for bond price dynamics.
• Possibility of pricing derivatives (vanilla options, CDS, …).
