In this study Jarrow Turnbull (1995) Model, which is a reduced form approach for credit risk models, is employed to estimate the default intensity of US corporate bonds conditionally based on a fixed recovery rate. The estimations are performed with respect to the ratings of the bonds and the results were consistent with the ratings. US Treasury Bills are also used to since zero coupon default free prices, modeled by Svensson (1994) are necessary for pricing the default risky coupon bonds.
