Abstract

This paper provides sufficient conditions for the time of bankruptcy (of a company or a state) for being a totally inaccessible stopping time and provides the explicit computation of its compensator in a framework where the flow of market information on the default is modelled explicitly with a Brownian bridge between 0 and 0 on a random time interval.

Highlights

  • One of the most important objects in a mathematical model for credit risk is the time τ at which a certain company bankrupts

  • Modelling the flow of market information concerning a default time is crucial and in this paper we consider a process, β =, whose natural filtration Fβ describes the flow of information available for market agents about the time at which the default occurs

  • In Appendix A, we provide the properties of the local time associated with the information process

Summary

Introduction

One of the most important objects in a mathematical model for credit risk is the time τ (called default time) at which a certain company (or state) bankrupts. By Corollary C.5, we know that there exists a unique integrable predictable increasing process Kw = Ktw, t ≥ 0 which generates, in the sense of Definition C.1, the potential G given by (22) and, for every Fβ -stopping time T, we have that σ (L1,L∞)
