Wrong-way risk (WWR)
The homotopy analysis method for derivatives pricing under wrong-way risk
Derivatives pricing is approximated with a computationally efficient homotopy-based application that accounts for WWR
Credit valuation adjustment wrong-way risk in a Gaussian copula model
In this paper, we present an analytical expression for CVA with WWR under the assumption of the lognormally distributed trade value.

CVA wrong-way risk: calibration using a quanto CDS basis
Tsz-Kin Chung and Jon Gregory calibrate wrong-way risk with the help of quanto CDS values
Counterparty risk: credit valuation adjustment variability and value-at-risk
This paper proposes an efficient method to obtain the distribution of the CVA at a given risk horizon, from which risk measures such as the CVA VaR can be computed.
Wrong-way risk of interest rate instruments
This paper investigates wrong-way risk effects on the pricing of counterparty credit risk for interest rate instruments.
CVA study highlights scale and causes of wrong-way risk
Researchers advise including correlations both with rate level and volatility in CVA calculations
CVA pricing for commodities with WWR
A calculation of CVA integrating a commodity futures exposure with probability of an event under WWR and credit downgrades
A copula approach to credit valuation adjustment for swaps under wrong-way risk
This paper deals with the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) of interest rate swap (IRS) contracts in the presence of an adverse dependence between the default time and interest rates: so-called wrong-way risk (WWR).
LCH plans to let banks clear self-referencing CDSs
Move will facilitate index arbitrage trades and put CDSClear one step ahead of rival Ice, note FCMs

Derivatives pricing under bilateral counterparty risk
The authors consider risk-neutral valuation of a contingent claim under bilateral counterparty risk using the well-known reduced-form approach.
On the correlation and parametric approaches to calculation of credit value adjustment
This paper develops a connection between the Hull–White parametric approach and the PCL correlation approach for CVA calculation.

Path-consistent wrong-way risk: a structural model approach
The author of this paper presents a general and path-consistent wrong-way risk (WWR) model that does not require simulation of credit and market variables simultaneously.

Exposure under systemic impact
Wrong-way risk (WWR) behaves differently for exposures to systemically important counterparties because their default has the potential to move financial markets before the close-out. Michael Pykhtin and Alexander Sokol show how the traditional exposure…
