A Note on Credit Insurance

Abstract: In a simple stationary setting with constant interest rate, we derive pricing formulas for defaultable bonds with stochastic recovery rate using a replication argument. Replication is done by using an insurance contract (i.e. a kind of credit default swap), the price of which is determined by a dynamic premium calculation principle. We consider two cases, a linear one, where pricing amounts to solving an inhomogeneous linear ODE, and a super-linear case where a Riccati ODE has to be solved.
