We consider a rates-credit hybrid model with the rates and the credit intensity governed by Hull-White and Black-Karasinski short-rate models, respectively. We report on and make use of a highly accurate analytic representation of a pricing kernel for European-style options and/or protection...

We study the response of bond spreads to a liquidity supply shock in the credit default swap (CDS) market. Our identification strategy exploits the exogenous exit of a large dealer from the single-name CDS market as well as granular data on CDS transactions and bond portfolio holdings of German...

We propose a credit portfolio approach for evaluating systemic risk and attributing it across institutions. We construct a model that can be estimated from high-frequency CDS data. This captures risks from privately held institutions and cooperative banks, extending approaches that rely on...

The CDS premium is considered to be an important criterion in the risk premiums of countries with emerging markets and it also provides important information about the credibility of these countries for investors. Decreasing the level of CDS for developing countries helps investors to work with...

Our goal in this paper is to examine the time-varying optimal hedging ratios for the Dow Jones Islamic and conventional emerging stock market indices, hedged with oil, gold, and the VSTOXX as well as four emerging-country sectoral CDS indices (raw materials, industry, health care, and...

The paper is an investigation on the impact of financial markets on the volatility of the green bonds credit risk component, measured by the option-adjusted spread/swap curve (OAS) before and during the pandemic period. To this purpose, after observing the dynamic joint correlations between all...

We develop a sovereign default risk index using natural language processing techniques and 10 million news articles covering over 100 countries. The index is a highfrequency measure of countries' default risk, particularly for those lacking marketbased measures: it correlates with sovereign CDS...

This paper empirically analyses whether post-global financial crisis regulatory reforms have created appropriate incentives to voluntarily centrally clear the over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts. We use confidential European trade repository data on single-name sovereign credit default...
