Pricing Interest Rate Swap Subject to Bilateral Counterparty Risk

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical model for valuing interest rate swaps, subject to bilateral counterparty credit risk. The counterparty defaults are modeled by the reduced-form model as the first jump of a time-inhomogeneous Poisson process. All quantities modeled are market-observable. The closed-form solution gives us a better understanding of the impact of the credit asymmetry on swap value, credit value adjustment, swap rate and swap spread.

Keywords: defaultable interest rate swap; bilateral defaultable claim; credit asymmetry; market models; Black model; LIBOR market model; reduced-form model; credit value adjustment; swap spread. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
