Cyclicality in losses on bank loans
Keijsers, Bart; Diris, Bart; Kole, Erik - 2015
Cyclicality in the losses of bank loans is important for bank risk management. Because loans have a different risk profile than bonds, evidence of cyclicality in bond losses need not apply to loans. Based on unique data we show that the default rate and loss given default of bank loans share a...

Modeling portfolio defaults using hidden Markov models with covariates
Banachewicz, Konrad; Vaart, Aad W. van der; Lucas, André - 2006
We extend the Hidden Markov Model for defaults of Crowder, Davis, and Giampieri (2005) to include covariates. The covariates enhance the prediction of transition probabilities from high to low default regimes. To estimate the model, we extend the EM estimating equations to account for the time...

Degryse, Hans; Gündüz, Yalın; O'Flynn, Kuchulain; … - 2021
Firms with credit-default swaps (CDS) traded on their debt may face "empty creditors" as hedged creditors have less incentive to participate in firm restructuring. We test for the existence of empty creditors by employing an exogenous change to the bankruptcy code in Germany that effectively...

Pre-emptive sovereign debt restructuring and holdout litigation

Zunino, Diego; Praag, Mirjam van; Dushnitsky, Gary - 2017
Research shows that most ventures fail, yet it has devoted limited attention to the consequences of entrepreneurs’ past failure for investors' decisions. Our motivating insight is that failure can be due to bad luck, lack of skill or both. Therefore, failure conveys ambiguous information...
