Pricing bonds and CDS in the model with rating migration induced by a Cox process

Jacek Jakubowski, Mariusz Niewęgłowski (2008)

Banach Center Publications

We investigate the properties of a rating migration process assuming that it is given by subordination of a discrete time Markov chain and a Cox process. The problem of pricing of defaultable bonds with fractional recovery of par value with rating migration and credit default swaps is considered. As an example of applications of our results, we give an explicit solution to the pricing problem in a model with short rate and intensity processes given by the solution of a two-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck...

Pricing forward-start options in the HJM framework; evidence from the Polish market

P. Sztuba, A. Weron (2001)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We show how to use the Gaussian HJM model to price modified forward-start options. Using data from the Polish market we calibrate the model and price this exotic option on the term structure. The specific problems of Central Eastern European emerging markets do not permit the use of the popular lognormal models of forward LIBOR or swap rates. We show how to overcome this difficulty.

Pricing of zero-coupon and coupon cat bonds

Krzysztof Burnecki, Grzegorz Kukla (2003)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We apply the results of Baryshnikov, Mayo and Taylor (1998) to calculate non-arbitrage prices of a zero-coupon and coupon CAT bond. First, we derive pricing formulae in the compound doubly stochastic Poisson model framework. Next, we study 10-year catastrophe loss data provided by Property Claim Services and calibrate the pricing model. Finally, we illustrate the values of the CAT bonds tied to the loss data.

Pricing rules under asymmetric information

Shigeyoshi Ogawa, Monique Pontier (2007)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider an extension of the Kyle and Back's model [Back, Rev. Finance Stud.5 (1992) 387–409; Kyle, Econometrica35 (1985) 1315–1335], meaning a model for the market with a continuous time risky asset and asymmetrical information. There are three financial agents: the market maker, an insider trader (who knows a random variable V which will be revealed at final time) and a non informed agent. Here we assume that the non informed agent is strategic, namely he/she uses a utility function to...
