A Special Project: Inside the CDO Machine

Andrew Metrick

Journal of Financial Crises, 2022, vol. 4, issue 1, 368-370

Abstract: In this issue of the Journal of Financial Crisis, we feature Inside the CDO Machine--a special undertaking recently completed under the auspices of the Yale Program on Financial Stability Lessons Learned Oral History Project by Steven H. Kasoff, a Yale School of Management Fellow and former equity partner and head of real estate and structured products investments at the Elliott Management Corp., a global hedge fund. For the project, Kasoff undertook a series of interviews with industry professionals to focus on one of the critical derivatives products of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), and how they became so important to the events of the crisis.
