We propose a class of credit models where we model default intensity as a jump-diffusion stochastic process. We demonstrate how this class of models can be specialised to value multi-asset derivatives such as CDO and CDO2 in an efficient way. We also suggest how it can be adapted to the pricing...

An intriguing link between a wide range of problems occurring in physics and financial engineering is presented. These problems include the evolution of small perturbations of linear flows in hydrodynamics, the movements of particles in random fields described by the Kolmogorov and Klein-Kramers...
