Die aus der geringen Transparenz und mangelnden Standardisierung des außerbörslichen Derivatehandels resultierenden Gefahren sind durch die internationale Finanzkrise deutlich aufgedeckt worden. Nach dem Willen von Regulierungsbehörden soll diesem bisher weitgehend unregulierten Marktsegment...

We estimate time series of option implied Probabilities of Default (PoDs) for 19 major US financial institutions from 2002 to 2012. These PoDs are estimated as mass points of entropy based risk neutral densities and subsequently corrected for maturity dependence. The obtained time series are...

This study aims to discover whether markets take into account the phenomenon known as Too Big to Fail. Using Credit Default Swaps market data, which reflects the risk, markets attribute to banks, we calculate the default probabilities of banks over one, two, and three year periods. These results...

Unlike in structural and reduced-form models, we use equity as a liquid and observable primitive to analytically value corporate bonds and credit default swaps. Restrictive assumptions on the firm’s capital structure are avoided. Default is parsimoniously represented by equity value hitting...
