Abstract
The theory of pricing to acceptability developed for incomplete markets is applied to marking ones own default risk. It is observed in agreement with Heckman (2004), that assets and liabilities are not to be valued in nancial reporting at the same magnitude. Liabilities are marked at ask prices that are above the asset mark at bid prices. Applying cones of acceptability de ned by concave distortions it is observed that counterintuitive pro tability resulting from credit deterioration is mitigated. We argue that the di¤erence between the liability mark at ask and the asset mark at bid be taken as an upfront expense deposited in a special account called the ODOR account for Own Default Operating Reserve. Procedures are described for pricing coupon bonds separately as assets and liabilities. These procedures employ the default time distribution embedded in the CDS market.
