In the valuation space, bilateral features are quite relevant for counterparty risk and often can be responsible for seemingly paradoxical statements. For example, Citigroup in its press release on the first quarter 2009 revenues11See http://www.citigroup.com/citi/news/2009/090417a.htm. reported a positive mark-to-market due to its worsened credit quality:
Revenues also included… a net $2.5 billion positive CVA [credit valuation adjustment] on derivative positions, excluding monolines, mainly due to the widening of Citi’s CDS [credit default swap] spreads.
In this chapter we explain precisely how such a situation may originate. Previous research on arbitrage-free valuation of counterparty risk adjustments (or CVAs) with dynamical models for commodities, rates and credit (see Brigo and Chourdakis (2009) for a summary and references) assumed the party computing the valuation adjustment to be default-free. Bielecki and Rutkowski (2001) present a formula for vulnerable claims with bilateral risk, but focus on the application to interest rate swaps.
We introduce here the general arbitrage-free valuation framework for CVAs in the presence of bilateral default risk, including
