i.e. in case of:

bankruptcy

failure to pay (> threshold, after grace period)

obligation default

basic notation

: recovery value

: time to default

: survival indicator function

: survival probability between t and T

: stochastic discount

: default free ZC bond (or “initial” discounts)

: defaultable ZC with NO recovery

: hazard rate

: value of 1 in if default in


building blocs in single name credits

: default free ZC bond curve (interbank curve)

: defaultable ZC bond curve with zero recovery

: value of a payoff of 1 in if default occurs in


building blocs in a simple model

a simple model with additional assumptions:

indipendence rates & defaults

constant recovery rate

a set of reset dates: default in (tn, tn+1] … payment in tn+1

no default risk in derivative’s counterpart (ASW & CDS)

basic structuring:

reference portfolio (r.p.) is transferred to a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)

SPV issues notes divided in different tranches

r.p. income goes toward paying tranches’ coupons according to their seniority

at maturity r.p. is liquidated and proceeds distributed to the tranches according to their seniority

if a default occurs, recovery payments are reinvested in default-free securities

In the model we can intervene only at the maturity T of the debt.

If the value is less than the debt, there is a default. I.e. Condition at maturity is

US subprime exposure is just the starting point of a rolling snowball:

- which are the implications on other non-corporate US credits

(Alt-A & prime morgages, credit cards, auto loans, ...)?

- what is the contagion effect on other forms of lending/credit?
