2 Coeffcent of Correlaton The coeffcent of correlaton between two varables V and V 2 s defned as E( VV 2 ) E( V ) E( V 2 ) SD( V ) SD( V 2 ) Rsk Management and Fnancal Insttutons, Chapter 6, Copyrght John C. Hull

3 Independence V and V 2 are ndependent f the knowledge of one does not affect the probablty dstrbuton for the other f ( V2 V x) f ( V2 ) where f(.) denotes the probablty densty functon Rsk Management and Fnancal Insttutons, Chapter 6, Copyrght John C. Hull

4 Independence s Not the Same as Zero Correlaton Suppose V =, 0, or + (equally lkely) If V = - or V = + then V 2 = If V = 0 then V 2 = 0 V 2 s clearly dependent on V (and vce versa) but the coeffcent of correlaton s zero Correlaton measures lnear dependence Rsk Management and Fnancal Insttutons, Chapter 6, Copyrght John C.

17 Factor Models When there are N varables, V (=,2,..N), n a multvarate normal dstrbuton there are N(N-)/2 correlatons We can reduce the number of correlaton parameters that have to be estmated wth a factor model Rsk Management and Fnancal Insttutons, Chapter 6, Copyrght John C. Hull

21 Gaussan Copula Models: Creatng a correlaton structure for varables that are not normally dstrbuted Suppose we wsh to defne a correlaton structure between two varable V and V 2 that do not have normal dstrbutons We transform the varable V to a new varable U that has a standard normal dstrbuton on a percentle-topercentle bass. We transform the varable V 2 to a new varable U 2 that has a standard normal dstrbuton on a percentle-topercentle bass. U and U 2 are assumed to have a bvarate normal dstrbuton Rsk Management and Fnancal Insttutons, Chapter 6, Copyrght John C. Hull

30 Multvarate Gaussan Copula We can smlarly defne a correlaton structure between V, V 2, V n We transform each varable V to a new varable U that has a standard normal dstrbuton on a percentle-to-percentle bass. The U s are assumed to have a multvarate normal dstrbuton Rsk Management and Fnancal Insttutons, Chapter 6, Copyrght John C. Hull

31 Factor Copula Model In a factor copula model the correlaton structure between the U s s generated by assumng one or more factors. Rsk Management and Fnancal Insttutons, Chapter 6, Copyrght John C. Hull

32 Credt Default Correlaton The credt default correlaton between two companes s a measure of ther tendency to default at about the same tme Default correlaton s mportant n rsk management when analyzng the benefts of credt rsk dversfcaton It s also mportant n the valuaton of some credt dervatves Rsk Management and Fnancal Insttutons, Chapter 6, Copyrght John C. Hull

33 The Model We map the tme to default for company, T, to a new varable U and assume U a F where F and the Z have ndependent standard normal dstrbutons Defne Q as the cumulatve probablty dstrbuton of T Prob(U <U) = Prob(T <T) when N(U) = Q (T) Rsk Management and Fnancal Insttutons, Chapter 6, Copyrght John C.

35 The Model contnued For a large portfolo of loans, equaton (*) provdes a goodestmate of the prercentage of loans defaultng by tme T condtonal on F, the default rate. P(F N N ( Y [ Q( T )) Y, so there s a probablty of Y that the default rate wll be greater than N )] r N - r ( Y ) Rsk Management and Fnancal Insttutons, Chapter 6, Copyrght John C. Hull
