Credit Risk Measurement with Wrong Way Risk

Yiqian PENG, Jinyuan ZHANG

Abstract


I will start with introducing the corporate bond and several important components of it. The existing credit risk model can be categorized into two groups — Structural (Firm Value) Model and Reduced-form (Intensity-based) Models, followed by the risk measure and the risk measure—Value at Risk and its computation. Then I applied the previously introduced material to the given portfolio to calculate its credit VaR using two methods, S-critical and the Monte Carlo simulation. Finally, I present some advanced credit risk models with stochastic interest rate.
