1 he ays o calculae isance o efaul base on KM moel erivaion Danan Zhou,a, Fuei Li,b, Jie Gao, c School of Economics an Managemen, Chongqing Universiy of Poss an elecommunicaions, Chongqing 465, China. Absrac a anan.j.zhou@qq.com, b fuei9@gmail.com, c JessicaG4@63.com his paper escribes he basic iea of KM an re-erives he relevan mahemaical equaions in he moel, realizing he pracical applicaion of KM moel, an calculaing he efaul isance of 53 enerprises in manufacuring. A las, i provies a heoreical basis for improving he efficiency of enerprise risk managemen. Keyors KM Moel, Opion Pricing Moel, Mahemaical Derivaion,he Disance o Defaul.. Inroucion he efaul isance meho is base on he "Black-Scholes-Meron" opion pricing moel[], evelope by KM crei raing company ino he KM crei raing meho; In, KM as acquire by Mooy's, one of he orl's hree major raing agencies, forming Mooy's KM raing meho[]. KM moel regars he company's shareholers' equiy, ha is, he equiy value as a call opion base on he marke value of he enerprise's asses, ih he oal liabiliies as he execuion price. When he marke value of he enerprise asses is less han he oal liabiliies, he enerprise ill face he efaul risk of no being able o repay he loan. In he KM moel, he efaul isance DD is use o quanify he crei risk of he enerprise[3]. he greaer he efaul isance, he loer he crei risk[4]. he efaul isance is use as a crei risk measure, an is robusness is iely use in raing pracice[5]. he core of he KM crei raing meho is he efaul isance (DD) crei meric, hich is base on ynamic aa in he real marke, eermine by asse marke value, asse marke value volailiy, equiy value, equiy value volailiy, an efaul poins.. heoreical basis an moel. he basic iea of KM moel A of he enerprise asse is less han he oal eb D of he enerprise, he When he marke value enerprise ill face he risk of no being able o repay he loan, hich is calle he enerprise efaul. In he KM moel, he efaul isance DD is use o inicae he value of he asse marke value A from he poin of efaul DP,hus reflecing he possibiliy of efaul. he greaer he efaul isance, he less likely he company ill efaul. On he conrary, he smaller he efaul isance, he more likely he company ill efaul. he seps o calculae he efaul isance are as follos: Firsly, he asse marke valuea an volailiy are solve, bu hey canno be irecly obaine, hey nee o be obaine by he relaionship beeen he equiy marke value E, he equiy marke value volailiy E an he eb amoun D.he simulaneous equaions are solve as follos: 5

2 E N( ) De N( ) A A ln( ) ( r )* D () E A E N ( ) () Afer obaining he marke valuea an volailiy of he asse, he efaul isance can be obaine accoring o he efiniion of he efaul isance DD. he expression is as follos[, 6, 7]: A A DP DD A v (3) is he marke value of he asse a he ime of mauriy (ie ) of he corporae eb, bu his paper assumes ha he groh raio of he corporae asse uring he liabiliy perio is [], ha is, he A of he efaul isance is he above-menione calculaion.he poin of efaul DP is a value beeen curren liabiliies an oal liabiliies, an he mahemaical form is DP SD.5* LD. SD is he shor-erm eb a he en of he business, an LD is long-erm eb. his paper assumes ha he company only has a single ineres-free eb, he amoun of eb [8]here is DP.. he soluion of relae parameers of KM moel A, E, DP E, r,, A v () he calculaion of sock volailiy E he raiional meho of calculaing sock volailiy is o use hisorical sock price aa o solve he Si problem. he specific soluion formula is as follos: u ln( ). is he sock aily reurn rae, an S i is he sock closing price afer he en of he firs ime inerval. Accoring o he efiniion of sock volailiy, calculae he sanar eviaion of sock aily yiel, an obain aily volailiy: n S ( u u) n 6 i Si u i i i (4) Obaine he aily volailiy, an assume ha he annual sock raing ay is abou 4 ays, E S 4 he annualize volailiy is obaine. Hoever, a large number of lieraures sho ha he changes in sock reurns are clusere in volailiy[9]. he so-calle volailiy clusering means ha he flucuaion of he long-erm financial ime series in a cerain perio of ime ofen shos a siuaion of coninuous high or lo, ha is, he ranom isurbance is folloe by a large ampliue flucuaion folloe by a large flucuaion, hich is smaller. Ampliue flucuaions are

3 folloe by small flucuaions, a phenomenon knon as volailiy clusering. Hoever, he above meho has obaine a phenomenon ha he sock volailiy an he acual siuaion are no consisen. herefore, he GARCH (,) moel is use o calculae he sock volailiy. In his case, he volailiy obaine is closer realiy. he concree expression of he GARCH(,) moel is as follos: Mean equaion: y c, N(, ) (5) Replace ih L Coniional variance equaion: (6), o become he folloing equaion: 7 L (7) :he preice variance of he -h perio is calle he GARCH iem; : he square of he resiual of he -h perio, he ranom isurbance erm, is calle he ARCH erm. L : Long-erm average variance;,,, :Weighs are greaer han, an GARCH(,) is calle generalize auoregressive coniional heeroskeasiciy. In his case, he sock aily volailiy is no a fixe consan, bu varies from ime o ime. he firs "" in brackes represens he number of iems in he GARCH iem, he GARCH iem is he influence of he previous preicion variance on he curren variance; he secon "" represens he number of iems in he ARCH iem, an he ARCH iem is calle he ranom isurbance iem, hich is a amoun of change over ime is measure by he volailiy of he previous perio. he meaning of "auoregressive" here is he inroucion of values of some orer of he explanaory variables such as. As an explanaory variable, explaining he change of he variable ogeher ih he ranom isurbance erm. ha is, he regression ha inrouces he regression variable iself is calle auoregression. Ierovariance refers o he regression moel, he variance beeen he ranom isurbances is ifferen. So he consrucion of he GARCH moel is o eliminae his heerosceasiciy as much as possible. Suppose ha i obeys a mean of an he variance is -, an his variance is a linear combinaion of he square of he lag of is ranom isurbance erm, calle he coniional variance. Afer fiing he GARCH(,) moel ih he enerprise aa, he aily volailiy of he company's sock reurn rae is obaine, assuming ha he raing ay of he year is 4 ays, an hen convere ino he annualize volailiy of he calculaion base ae. () Calculaion of equiy marke value I shoul be noe ha hen calculaing he equiy marke value of lise companies, if he price ifference beeen he raable shares an he non-raable shares cause by he spli of he lise companies in China is no consiere, he marke price of he raable shares is muliplie by he oal share capial o esimae he equiy of he company. he marke value may uneresimae he crei risk of he enerprise; in he special marke environmen in hich Chinese lise companies are locae, he seing of he efaul poin coefficien may affec he moel preicion abiliy. herefore, combine ih he specific siuaion of China's sock marke, he value of he equiy marke is compose of o pars, namely he marke value of he raable shares an he marke value of he non-raable shares. he specific calculaion expression is as follos: Equiy marke value = marke value of raable shares + marke value of non-raable shares = average closing price of sock eekly in he curren ay of he benchmark ay * he number of raable shares+he number of non-raable shares * ne asses /per share

4 (3) he poin of efaul DP, r an he poin of efaul DP SD a* LD, is he coefficien, hich reflecs he influence of he long-erm liabiliies of he enerprise in he efaul of he enerprise. he larger a is, he higher he proporion of long-erm ebs in corporae efauls. A large number of lieraures[, ]have verifie ha.5 can reflec he rue efaul of he company o a greaer exen, so his paper akes.5. is he annual reurn on asses, i is also calle a risk-free rae. his paper ses he one-year ime eposi rae announce by he People's Bank of China on he base ae. is quarer. r 3. Derivaion of heoreical formulas relae o KM moel () Black-Scholes opion pricing heory a KM moel is base on he Black-Scholes opion [] pricing heory. he opions are ivie ino European opions an American opions. he famous scholars Black an Scholes s suy are base on European opions, an he rules can only be exercise on he expiraion ae. he basic assumpions of Black-Scholes opion pricing heory are as follos: ) he change in sock price is subjec o a lognormal isribuion; ) he risk-free rae is fixe hroughou he exercise perio; 3) Assume ha here is no ransacion cos in he securiies ransacion an here is no ivien isribuion. Base on he above assumpions, Black an Scholes propose a pricing moel for bullish (pu) opions as follos: S Call( S, K, r,, δ) SN( ) Ke N( ) ln( ) ( ) Pu( S, K, r,, δ) Ke N( ) SN( ) S K δ r δ δ (8) is he price of he sock a he ime; K is he srike price of he opion; r is he risk-free ineres rae; r is he volailiy of he sock's reurn; is he mauriy ae of he hel opion.
