They introduced copula for pricing of CDO,and discussed how different CDO spreads were with using different copula for pricing.
I would like to reproduce their result (especially,P23-Table7)
The condition of calculation is following that
number of debt(NUM.REFDEBT):=100
maturity(MATURITY):=5 year
recovery rate(RECOVERY.RATE):=40%(constant value)
probability of default (DEFAULT.PROBABILITY):=5%(in 5 years)
parameter of nomal copula ρ:=0.15
parameter of clayton copula α:=0.21
They apporoximated their valuation formula for easy calculation(equation (27))
(They assumed that CDO spread were paid as discounted bond at the begging.)
I simulated valuation of CDO with their method.
The result is following that
copula/tranche
Equity
mezzanine
senior
super senior
normal
1,145.42
62.49
0.52
0.000
t(20)
1,055.28
86.07
2.18
0.004
t(6)
896.74
126.44
8.56
0.044
t(3)
733.31
165.90
23.56
0.191
clayton
857.64
135.73
12.83
0.084
This table reproduce their result(P23-Table7).
And, In senior or super senior,you can understand that the CDO spread which is evaluated by normal copula is lower than the others. It means that normal copula is inadequate in financial crisis.
I show you my programming code(by R language).
If you copy and run my source code, you can duplicate my result easily. Before you run, please install "copula"package.
Hi, this programme is great - however I was wondering if you had an alternative that had a fixed CDO spread and a variable upfront payment, as is often used with Equity tranches. Also, can this be adapted to Base Correlation?
ok no problem - what does the num.path mean in your equation? And why did you choose 10^3. Also, can you incorporate an integration method such as gauss-Hermite quadrature into this?
the num.path means just "the number of monte-carlo path" to calculate CDO spread. As you may know, R language does not have a high speed to calculate.This is why I choose 10^3 as this value.

返信削除Thank you for your comment.
返信削除But, I'm sorry that I do not have that alternative one.
