A multiname first-passage model for credit risk
Don L. McLeish, Adam Metzler
Abstract
ABSTRACT
In multiname extensions of the seminal Black-Cox model, dependence is typically introduced by correlating the Brownian motions driving firm values. Despite its significant intuitive appeal, such a framework is simply not capable of describing market data. In this paper we propose a novel multiname framework by altering the location of systematic risk in the Black-Cox model. This is accomplished by introducing common "systematic risk" processes that govern the trend and volatility in credit qualities.We are able to calibrate several versions of the model to market quotes for CDX index tranches, including quotes from the current distressed environment.
