Yes / Following the global financial crisis, the measurement of counterparty credit risk has become
an essential part of the Basel III accord with credit value adjustment being one of the most
prominent components of this concept. In this study, we extend the Merton structural credit
risk model for counterparty credit risk calculation in the context of calculating the credit value
adjustment mainly by estimating the probability of default. We improve the Merton model in a
variance-convoluted-gamma environment to include default dependence between counterparties
through a linear factor decomposition framework. This allows one to tackle dependence through
a systematic common component. Our set-up allows for easier, faster and more accurate fitting
for the credit spread. Results confirm that use of the variance-gamma-convolution clearly solves
the vanishing credit spread problem for short time-to-maturity or low leverage cases compared
to a Brownian motion environment and its modifications. / Ahmet Sensoy gratefully acknowledges support from Turkish Academy of Sciences under its Outstanding
