The term structure of credit risk. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collection / ProQuest dissertations and thesesJanuary 2000 (has links)
Credit risk is an important source of risk for almost all of the financial securities. The frequent and serious financial crisis has made credit risk a sensitive and crucial consideration for financial institutions, corporations, and individual investors. The accurate pricing for credit risk and credit risky assets depends crucially upon the credit risk term structure---it implies the market expectation for the future credit risk. However, the credit risk analysis is still in its very early stages of development. The investigation about the credit risk term structure, especially the empirical exploration, has many blank points. Earlier research on the credit risk term structure mainly concentrates on the slopes, pertaining to the simple linear term structure which is not applicable to the middle credit quality assets. Thus the curvature of the spread curves may infer snore information about the changes of future credit qualities, the credit cycles, and the recurring business cycles. In this thesis, a bond pair approach is developed to study the shape (curvature as well as slope) of individual spread curves, and the relationship among spread curves for bonds with different ratings. We uncover downward sloping spread curves for triple C and double C bonds and upward sloping spread curves for triple A+ and triple A bonds. We also uncover hump-shaped spread curves for middle-graded bonds including double A to single B, and there exist peak points on these spread curves. We document the relationship among spread curves for bonds with different ratings In terms of time to peak and peak spread. We conclude that, in comparing higher rated bonds (say, double A) with lower rated bonds (say, single B), the credit spread is higher and time to peak is shorter for the latter than the former. In particular, these hump-shaped curves are bounded from above by downward sloping spread curves for triple C and double C bonds and bounded from below by upward sloping spread curves for triple A+ and triple A bonds. These findings provide a good explanation for the middle-rated bonds' spread curves. This evidence helps us to better understand the credit risk term structure, to accurately price credit risk and credit risky assets, and to appropriately manage credit risk. / Hu Wen-wei. / "August 2000." / Adviser: Jia He. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 61-08, Section: A, page: 3284. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2000. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 93-111). / Electronic reproduction.

On credit risk modeling and credit derivatives pricingGu, Jiawen, 古嘉雯 January 2014 (has links)
In this thesis, efforts are devoted to the stochastic modeling, measurement and evaluation of credit risks, the development of mathematical and statistical tools to estimate and predict these risks, and methods for solving the significant computational problems arising in this context.
The reduced-form intensity based credit risk models are studied. A new type of reduced-form intensity-based model is introduced, which can incorporate the impacts of both observable trigger events and economic environment on corporate defaults. The key idea of the model is to augment a Cox process with trigger events. In addition, this thesis focuses on the relationship between structural firm value model and reduced-form intensity based model. A continuous time structural asset value model for the asset value of two correlated firms with a two-dimensional Brownian motion is studied. With the incomplete information introduced, the information set available to the market participants includes the default time of each firm and the periodic asset value reports. The original structural model is first transformed into a reduced-form model. Then the conditional distribution of the default time as well as the asset value of each name are derived. The existence of the intensity processes of default times is proven and explicit form of intensity processes is given in this thesis.
Discrete-time Markovian models in credit crisis are considered. Markovian models are proposed to capture the default correlation in a multi-sector economy. The main idea is to describe the infection (defaults) in various sectors by using an epidemic model. Green’s model, an epidemic model, is applied to characterize the infectious effect in each sector and dependence structures among various sectors are also proposed. The models are then applied to the computation of Crisis Value-at-Risk (CVaR) and Crisis Expected Shortfall (CES). The relationship between correlated defaults of different industrial sectors and business cycles as well as the impacts of business cycles on modeling and predicting correlated defaults is investigated using the Probabilistic Boolean Network (PBN). The idea is to model the credit default process by a PBN and the network structure can be inferred by using Markov chain theory and real-world data.
A reduced-form model for economic and recorded default times is proposed and the probability distributions of these two default times are derived. The numerical study on the difference between these two shows that our proposed model can both capture the features and fit the empirical data. A simple and efficient method, based on the ordered default rate, is derived to compute the ordered default time distributions in both the homogeneous case and the two-group heterogeneous case under the interacting intensity default contagion model. Analytical expressions for the ordered default time distributions with recursive formulas for the coefficients are given, which makes the calculation fast and efficient in finding rates of basket CDSs. / published_or_final_version / Mathematics / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy

An investigation into the financial support available to South African small and medium enterprises.Naidoo, Deena. January 2003 (has links)
Since the democratization of South Africa, there has been a fundamental need for the creation of employment and economic growth. South African companies have, however followed international business trends through merges, acquisitions and the introduction of sophisticated technology. The result of the above policies, have significantly contributed to the counties high unemployment rate, with the current official unemployment rate of 30,5 (according to the 1996 census). Furthermore, the legacies of apartheid have left a large portion of the population to be unskilled and therefore unemployable. As a result of the above, the government has been burdened with the creation of employment, single-handedly finding innovative financing schemes for the small and medium enterprise sector, while simultaneously ensuring economic growth, despite prevailing economic conditions. In order to achieve economic growth and create employment opportunities, it is my opinion that primary focus needs to be given to the development of small and medium enterprises. In this regard emphasis should be given to the enhancement of potential and existing small and medium entrepreneurs, to enable them to become competitive forces. It has however, become common for good entrepreneurial ideas to "die as ideas" largely due to the inability of these entrepreneurs to secure adequate venture capital, to fund their ideas into successful businesses/innovations. This chronic shortfall of financial resources for SMEs is largely attributable to a financial strategy focused on larger firms with a perceived lower risk based on the belief that such firms were "to big to fail". The challenge is therefore, for government to create innovative ways to finance initiatives by existing and potential entrepreneurs, thereby stimulating economic growth and employment. It is also prudent to highlight the fact that in addition to the contribution SMEs make to a countries wealth and employment, they also serve as the primary vehicles by which new entrepreneurs provide the economy with a continuous supply of ideas, skills and innovations. Start-ups are estimated to have created 140 000 jobs in South Africa, between January 1999 and July 2002, while new firms are estimated to have created nearly one million. Furthermore, the 2002 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) places South Africa below the average rate of entrepreneurial activity when compared with 36 countries. S.A also ranks lowest of all developing countries including Chile, Brazil, India, Argentina and Thailand. These results show that SA is in the bottom quartile of all countries on measures of opportunity entrepreneurship and new firm activity - both critical gauges for economic growth potential. GEM 2002, which is an annual international research project coordinated by London Business School, found that the greatest obstacles facing entrepreneurship is a lack of/ ineffective financial support, education and training, government policies and programmes. The aim of this study is to identify innovative ways of funding small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and the strategic implications of these initiatives on the South African economy. Furthermore, it is recommended that government big business and the select few wealthy individuals form strategic alliances, in order to promote the growth of this business sector, considering that the number of companies registered by the DTI has risen to 110 000 last year, of which 80 percent were small, black owned businesses. According to the National Small Business Act (1996), the small business sector absorbs nearly 44 % of the people formally employed in the private sector, and contributes to about 32.7 % to the country's gross domestic product. Given the significant increase in the number of registered enterprises since the 1994 General Elections, the sector holds further promises in order to generate economic growth and hence the need to develop and invest in this sector. Despite the existence of schemes, access to finance has been identified at the recent Job Summit as one of the problems and barriers to job creation and growth of small enterprises in South Africa. A recent media reports have highlighted the frustration of members of parliament, about the failure of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to help SMEs, with the Director General, admitting that his department had not been doing enough, or visibly enough. While the DTI claims to have various loan assistance schemes in place, emerging Black entrepreneurs do not seem to have access to these facilities. A major concern is that the DTI continues to rollover massive amounts of unspent funds (from its annual budget of R2.2 million), that indicates that their target market is not being reached. Accordingly the focus in the future should be to increase the outreach of various programmes, targeting them more specifically at the SME sector. This research project therefore reviews the implementation of policies and programmes aimed at SMEs access to financial assistance in order to highlight barriers that hinder this process and recommendations to rectify the existing status quo. / Thesis (MBA)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2003.
