Abstract: The credit default swap (CDS) market has experienced tremendous changes over the last two decades. This chapter reviews recent studies on the CDS contract and the CDS market, highlighting recent developments in CDS contracts and market structures. Characteristics of CDS contracts make them outstanding from other derivatives products, and the rapid development of CDS markets shows the popular use and importance of CDS contracts in general. Policies and regulations on CDSs have brought huge changes to the market and the availability of publicly reported data. The relationship between firms and CDS has long been a focus among academics. Moreover, CDSs are also commonly used among mutual funds, hedge funds, and banks, affecting the trading activities of various financial intermediaries. While the sovereign CDS and index CDS are shown to be more and more significant in financial markets, other CDS products, including CDS options and tranches, also experience changes. We summarize the evolution in CDS markets and the structure of CDS studies, aiming to gain a better understanding of CDS markets and provide insights for future studies on the CDS market.
