Spread Diffusion + Rating Migration
New Spread = New Spread Curve in New Rating “Spread Curves” are fitted per Country / Sector / Rating
Rating Migrations and Defaults are simulated according to Rating Volatility and Jumps

Rating-based Model
Default-free Interest Rate model: HJM or BGM
x = T – t
rt = Short rate = ft(t)

Rating-based Model
Spread Field:
t(x, R) = –Log(Discount vs. Treasuries)
x = payment time to maturity
R = rating
DF(t, T, R) = exp(–rt(x) x – t(x, R)) x = T – t
Yield spread st(x) = t(x) / x where t(x) = t(x, Rt)
t = t(x, 0) = “Recovery spread” = –Log(recovery value / non-default value)
The full bond price is obtained by adding up the coupon and principal values.
There is one “spread field” for each level of seniority (recovery rates are different).

Rating Jump-Diffusion Specifications
Rating Process Rt [0, 1) Rt = 1 No default is possible = unreachable state
Rt = 0 Default = absorbing state
Between these two bounds, Rt is a Markov jump-diffusion process.
The process Rt is attached to each issuer, regardless of the bond seniority.
Jump-diffusion for Rt
dRt = ht dt + (t,Rt) dBt + (t,Rt) dMt dMt = dNt – t dt
(t,Rt) rating volatility
Nt Poisson counting process with intensity t Mt martingale
t 0 Rt < 1 (t, 1) 0 and –Rt (t,Rt) < 1 – Rt
Default occurs as soon as Rt = 0 which is an absorbing state

Defaultable Bond Pricing
Defaultable Zero-coupon D(t,x,Rt)
This is a security with pay-off: If no default: 1 currency unit at date T = t + x If default at date : exp(–(x + t – ) –(x + t – , 0))
Spread over default-free rate
t, x, R t(x, R) 0 t(0, R) = 0

Monte-Carlo Simulation Default-free Yield Curve
o Structure: Series of default-free DFs at each observation date and in each MC patho Factor shape and volatility from Implied Cap/Floor and Swaption vol’s + Stat. Correl’s
o Compute in each MC path the Refinancing Factor: k = path #
o Adjust drift so as to match Risk-neutral Expectation: t T
Spread Fieldo Parametric representation of (x,R)o Random simulation of parameterso No risk-neutral constraints Statistics only
Ratingo Simulate diffusion and jumps with estimated volatility and jump intensityo Drift is a free parameter to be adjusted
Rating Drift Adjustmento Adjust drift so as to match Risk-neutral Expectation: t T, R0

Credit Derivative Pricing: One Obligor
TRS, CDS, ABS, CDO, etc. As usual, the “market price” of a claim C(t) with (random) maturity and pay-out C() is:
where Q is the risk-neutral probability.
For credit derivatives, this is not an arbitrage price, because the market is not complete:
Rt is not the price of any asset.
The risk premium p of a claim under probability P is given by:
D = volatility of discount factor

Credit Derivative Pricing: Several Obligors
Tranche insurance, Mezzanine Loans, First n to default out of N, etc.
Ratings Rti are driven by correlated Brownian motions Bt
i :
Merton’s approach suggest that the correlation should be that of the obligors’ stocks More accurately, use corporate yield spread correlation or, simply, bond price correlation. Jump processes can be correlated through Duffie-Singleton “events” approach or Copulas.

Statistical Calibration: Spread Field
Spread Curve Factors For each class of Country / Industrial sector / Rating, compute every day the average spread
curve over government bonds
Moody’s ratings only focus on the default probability
Different seniorities with the same rating imply different spreads
S&P ratings include the recovery rate
Different seniorities with the same rating imply different default probabilities
In both cases perform separate calibration for each level of seniority
Define buckets [i, i+1] for each agency rating
For each class of Country / Industrial sector, perform a PCA (Karhunen-Loeve) of the function:
(t, x, R) = (t + 1, x, R) – (t, x, R)

Statistical Calibration: Implied Rating Process
Implied Ratingo Compute Option-adjusted Spread historical serieso For each Country/Sector/Seniority, compute Average Spread Field series (t,x,R)o For each corporate bond, compute implied rating R(t) to match observed price
Statisticso Rating volatility: Implied rating volatility conditioned by small variationso Jumps calibrated on large moves (size and intensity)o Correlation calibrated on Implied Rating correl’s: close to bond price correl’s

Statistical Calibration: Agency Rating Process
Agencies’ Ratings Rating agencies provide annual statistics of rating migrations
These statistics should be performed on bonds that kept their rating.
Reasons for losing a rating are:- Issuer buy-out- Bond call-back (callable bonds) or conversion (convertible)- Issue fully bought by one bond holder- …
“Interpolate” the Markov chain by a jump diffusion by a best fit of parameters h, k, and (preferably stationary) with constant thresholds i
Exception for stationarity: newly issued bonds + low rating ( CCC) have a smaller probability of keeping the same rating
Compute the “risk-neutral” drift ht in order to price credit derivatives
Correlations:
- For the diffusion part, in the absence of a better assumption, Brownian motions Bti are
correlated like issuers stocks
- The jump part is only devoted to exceptional events
