In this paper we develop a class of applied probabilistic continuous time but discretized state space decompositions of the characterization of a multivariate generalized diffusion process. This decomposition is novel and, in particular, it allows one to construct families of mimicking classes...

We develop a new class of techniques that takes a copula function and quantifies the dependence properties through a localized coefficient of dependence in the state space. Effectively we develop a numerical procedure to map any copula function to a generalized Gaussian copula function. This...

The purpose of this paper is introducing rigorous methods and formulas for bilateral counterparty risk credit valuation adjustments (CVA's) on interest-rate portfolios. In doing so, we summarize the general arbitrage-free valuation framework for counterparty risk adjustments in presence of...

The Multi Variate Mixture Dynamics model is a tractable, dynamical, arbitrage-free multivariate model characterized by transparency on the dependence structure, since closed form formulae for terminal correlations, average correlations and copula function are available. It also allows for...

We consider counterparty risk for interest rate payoffs in presence of correlation between the default event and interest rates. The previous analysis of Brigo and Masetti (2006), assuming independence, is further extended to interest rate payoffs different from simple swap portfolios. A...
