The Relationship between Counterparty Default and Interest Rate Volatility and its Impact on the Credit Risk of Interest Rate Derivatives
We present a unified framework to study the effect of the correlation between interest rate volatility and counterparty default probability on the credit risk of collateralized interest rate derivatives contracts. When interest rates are volatile, counterparties are potentially more likely to default. Large moves in interest rates accompanied by counterparty default may lead to losses on interest rate derivatives, even if they are collateralized. An interest rate model with stochastic volatility and a reduced form default model, in which the default probability is correlated with interest rate volatility, are proposed and estimated from market data. We then analyze the effect of the correlation between interest rate volatility and a counterparty's default probability on the credit risk of collateralized interest rate derivatives contracts. Our results show that ignoring this correlation underestimates the credit risk, even with collateralized trades.
期刊介绍:
With the re-writing of the Basel accords in international banking and their ensuing application, interest in credit risk has never been greater. The Journal of Credit Risk focuses on the measurement and management of credit risk, the valuation and hedging of credit products, and aims to promote a greater understanding in the area of credit risk theory and practice. The Journal of Credit Risk considers submissions in the form of research papers and technical papers, on topics including, but not limited to: Modelling and management of portfolio credit risk Recent advances in parameterizing credit risk models: default probability estimation, copulas and credit risk correlation, recoveries and loss given default, collateral valuation, loss distributions and extreme events Pricing and hedging of credit derivatives Structured credit products and securitizations e.g. collateralized debt obligations, synthetic securitizations, credit baskets, etc. Measuring managing and hedging counterparty credit risk Credit risk transfer techniques Liquidity risk and extreme credit events Regulatory issues, such as Basel II, internal ratings systems, credit-scoring techniques and credit risk capital adequacy.
