The Valuation of Corporate Liabilities as Compound Options
Robert Geske
Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, 1977, vol. 12, issue 4, 541-552
Abstract:
This paper applies the technique for valuing compound options to the risky coupon, bond problem. A formula is derived which contains n-dimensional multivariate normal intecjrals. It is shown that, for some compound option problems, the special correlation structure allows an application of an integral reduction which may simplify the numerical evaluation. The effects of various indenture restrictions on the formula are discussed, and a new formula for evaluating subordinated debt is presented.
