INTRODUCTION Cred Defaul Swap (CDS) s one of he smples and wdely used cred dervaves, whch he buyer of CDS pays he fees o he seller regularly o acqure proecon from defaul. When he cred even occurs, he seller has o compensae he buyer for losses. In recen years, CDS develops rapdly and has become one of he mos popular cred dervaves. In November 1, Chnese CDS-- Cred Rsk Mgaon (CRM) was pu forward n ner-bank marke. The CRM wll has far-rangng appled space and appled oulook n rsk managemen feld n he fuure. The prmary problem of cred dervaves s prcng. There are wo knds of models o prce cred dervaves: srucural model and reduced model. Srucural model uses srucural varables such as change of asse value or deb value o model defaul. Wh srong economc background, hs model provdes endogenous defaul probably and recovery rae. Unlke srucural model, reduced model assumes ha defaul even canno be predced. Defaul even s one ump of he exogenous shock. The nensy of ump-dffuson, namely he defaul nensy, can be mpled from marke daa. Respondng o he defaul probably whn he srucural framework, we ry o develop a modfed model o prce CDS. The frs srucural model s pu forward by Meron (1974) whch closed-form soluons for defaul probably and he prce of cred dervaves can be acheved based on he Black-Scholes opon prcng heory. Meron (1976) develops opon prcng when sock prce follows a ump-dffuson process. Black and Cox (1976) modfy assumpons of Meron (1974) s Model o allow defaul ahead of secury maury, whch ndcaes ha shor-erm cred spreads s closed o zero and defaul even can be predced. Zhou(1) comes up wh a new model based on ump-dffuson process whch solves he problem of defaul predcably o some exen and obans posve shor-erm cred spreads. The newes sudy on srucural framework s he nroducon of Markov regme shf no prcng of cred dervaves. Elzalde (7) assumes ha defaul even s relaed o he exernal cred rang and he change of cred rang can be vewed as one regme shf of cred rang sae when prcng CDS. ackbarh, Mao and Morellec (6) nroduce a Markov regme shf for company s cash flow o dscuss he nfluence of busness cycle on company s cash flow and defaul polcy.

Based on all hese research achevemens, hs paper res o apply he ump-dffuson and Markov regme shf o model he nfluence of macro-economc condons on he volaly of frm value. Under hs condon, we compue company s defaul probably and use drecly o prce sngle name CDS. When modelng he volaly of asse value of he frm, mos exsng papers assume ha s unchangeable whch may no be approprae for he long erm corporae secures. The volaly of asse prce s affeced by company s fnancng and sraegy polces. Durng a long perod, such as 1 years, company managemen wll adus s fnancng and sraegy polces accordng o he change of exernal economy. Thus, s reasonable o assume ha he volaly of asse prce depends on he change of economc suaon. The nfluence of busness suaon can be vewed as sysemac rsk whch all companes face. I causes homogeneous, lasng and neludble nfluences on he whole marke. Excep for sysemac rsk, here s parcular rsk ha one sngle frm has o face, whch we can call unsysemac rsk or specfc rsk. Ths knd of rsk can be descrbed as unpredcable and unconrollable shock o companes, whch s relaed o ndusry, geographc locaon and s own operaons. Therefore, respondng o company s specfc rsk, we nroduce he ump-dffuson process no he model and he change of company s specfc rsk can be vewed as a ump of exogenous Jump-Dffuson. we consder and dsngush company s sysemac and specfc rsk, assumng asse prce follows ump-dffuson process and s volaly has Markov regme shf. Under hs condon, we nspec he change of CDS prce and defaul probably n dfferen rsk sae o acheve more precse CDS prce.. TE MODE.1 Prcng prncple of CDS The cash flow of CDS consss of wo pars. One par s he expeced paymens ha he CDS buyer makes when he defaul even occurs or does no occur. The oher par s he expeced compensaon ha he CDS buyer obans when he defaul even occurs. Suppose ha he fee rae of CDS, s,as a fracon of noonal n Bass Pon per year s pad a daes 1 < < < n = T. ( 1, ) denoes me nerval beween paymen dae 1 and. When he reference eny does no defaul, he expeced paymens ha CDS buyers make can be expressed as equaon (1), where F s noonal prncpal. p% ( ) s he defaul probably before under rsk neural measure. B (, ) s rsk-free dscoun facor. n ( 1, ) 1 %( ) (, (1) A = F s p B s = 1 When he defaul even occurs, he paymen made by CDS buyer can be defned as: n ( 1, ) B = F s p( ) p( 1) B(, ) s M = 1 % () where s assumed ha he defaul beween he regular paymens always occur exacly n he mddle. The error form hs approxmaon ges smaller as he me sep ges smaller. When he defaul even occurs, he conngen leg payoff, C, can be descrbed as n C = ( 1 R) p % ( ) p % ( 1) B(, ) (3) = 1 A he momen he conrac s sgned, accordng o no-arbrage prcng prncple, he cash flow of he CDS should be zero. Tha s, Therefore, he CDS prce s C = A+ B = s ( + M) (4) C s = + M (5)

Model assumpons and dervaon Assumpon 1: When he volaly of asse prce locaes n regme σ ( =, ), he dynamcs of V s gven by he followng ump-dffuson process dv V = ( µ λν) d + σ dz + ( Π 1) dy =, (6) Where µ denoes he drf rae n dfferen regme, λ s he nensy of ump dffuson process and dz s a sandard Brownan moon. dy s a Posson process wh nensy parameer λ, and Π s he ump amplude wh expeced value equal o ν + 1.

Mahemacally, τ = nf { X 1, > } (16) Whou regard o he regme shf, Abrahams(1986) and Zhou 1 pon ou, he closed-form soluon for equaon (15) does no exs, neher nor he defaul probably. Zhou 1 and Wang and Chen(3) provde he closed-form soluon for a smplfed model where s assumed ha he defaul only occurs a maury dae T. Namely,. Under hs condon, he defaul probably can be wren as τ = T ( λt)( λt) ln (.5 ) exp X + r σ λν T + µ Q FT ( 1 X) = Q( XT 1) = N (17) =! σ T + σ Where Q denoes rsk neural probably measure. Because here s no general closed-form soluon for he equaon (15) and he correspondng defaul probably, we urn o use Mone Carlo smulaon o compue he frm defaul probably and he correspondng CDS prce under ump-dffuson process ha s prce volaly has he propery of Markov regme shf. e = T n, where T denoes he maury dae, n denoes he oal number of me nervals.

NUMERICA ANAYSIS 3.1 Calbraon of parameers In order o make analyss easy, he relaed parameers are denoed as follows:.5 1) Mean value of lognormal dsrbuon µ =, he varance ln Π : N,.5 and ν = we have ( ) ) The rsk-free rae.5 defaul hreshold σ =.

When he economy s n he downurn (hgh volaly sae), he governmen has he movaon o ake powerful macro-conrol measures o smulae economc growh. Thus, s reasonable o assume ha he ranson nensy s larger when he economy s n hgh volaly sae. Accordng o former conen, he expeced duraon of regme s 1 λ =.5 and he expeced duraon of regme s 1 λ = 1.5. Durng 1 years, he average me spen n regme s 3.3 years and he average me spen n regme s 6.7 years. 5) The ump nensy λ =.5. S = 1means he nal value of volaly σ =.5, respondng o economc boom perod. S = means he nal value of volaly σ =.45,respondng o economc downurn perod. S = means he suaon where he nfluence of Markov regme shf s gnored. For comparson, we assume ha when S =, he volaly s me weghed mean of ha wh regme shf. Namely λ λ σs = σ + σ () λ + λ λ + λ Accordng o equaon (), we have.3 σ =. S In he laer analycal process, all parameers are deermned as presened above whou specfcaon. 3. Jump dffuson and CDS prce 3..1 Jump amplude and CDS prce As shown n fgure 1,when low volaly regme s he nal sae, he defaul probably ncreases as σ ncreases. Accordng o equaon (18) and (),when σ =,he asse prce follows general dffuson process. Gven X =, s known ha a dffuson process has a connuous sample pah and canno cross a boundary from somewhere else nsananeously. Therefore, he probably of defaulng on very shor erm s zero, so s he CDS prce. As he ump volaly ncreases, he ump sze becomes bgger and s possble he asse prce drops dramacally. Then defaul even occurs, whch makes he CDS prce posve n a shor-erm perod. Fgure shows ha, due o he exsence of ump dffuson, he CDS prce s posve n shor erm perod. In hs way, he flaw of Meron(1976) and Black and Cox(1976) model ha defaul even can be predced and

Whle n Fgure 5,gven he nal sae S =, he CDS prce decreases accordng o he ncrease of sae ranson nensy. In Fgure 4, gven S = 1, as he sae ranson nensy s small, he nal value of low volaly wll connue affec asse prce for a long me. Thus, he probably of defaul s small and so s he CDS prce. As he ranson nensy ncreases, he nfluence of nal volaly sae on asse prce becomes weak and he CDS prce ncreases. Smlar wh he analyss of Fgure 4, wh he nal sae of hgh volaly, he ncrease of ranson nensy weakens he nfluence of nal sae of hgh volaly and he CDS prce becomes lower. 1 C DS Prce (bass) λ =.4, λ =. λ =.8, λ =.4 λ =4, λ = CDS Prece (Bass) λ =.4, λ =. λ =.8, λ =.4 λ =4, λ = Maury(year) Fgure 4 CDS prce when S = 1 Fgure 5 CDS prce when S = 3.3. Comprehensve relaon beween nal sae, ranson nensy and CDS prce Fgure 6,7 and 8 show he nfluence of nal sae on CDS prce under he suaon of dfferen ranson nensy. In Fgure 6, he CDS prce s he larges wh nal sae of hgh volaly, he second s he prce whou regme shf wh s volaly value equal o he average of regme and weghed by me spen n each regme. The prce s smalles wh nal sae of low volaly. Compared wh Fgure 6, Fgure 7 shows ha as he ranson nensy ncreases, he dfference beween dfferen nal sae decreases. Comparng Fgure 6 and 7 wh Fgure 8, a neresng fndng s ha wh furher ncrease of ranson nensy, he dfference beween hem becomes smaller bu he prce whou regme shf becomes smalles of all. In Fgure 6,he average ranson mes s beween 4 and 8, he nal sae domnaes he CDS prce. When ranson nensy ncreases, as shown n Fgure 7, he nfluence of nal sae becomes weak and he effec of regme shf ncreases. Ulerorly, n Fgure 8, he average ranson mes s beween and 4. The mpac of regme shf prevals over ha of nal sae and he CDS prce wh regme shf s larger han ha whou regme shf. Ths phenomenon can be explaned as follows: when he asse prce volaly has he propery of regme shf, whaever he nal sae, he frm defaul probably s always larger ha he suaon whou regme shf as long as he ranson nensy s large enough. As we know, regme shf of sae can be vewed as he volaly of asse prce. If he ranson nensy s large enough, he probably ha asse prce changes dramacally s larger han he suaon of consan volaly. Under hs condon, s easer o produce lower exremes. Thus, boh he defaul probably and he CDS prce become larger.

In our model, he asse prce of he reference eny follows a ump-dffuson process and s volaly has he Markov regme shf. We provde complee Mone Carlo procedure o smulae CDS prce. The smulaon resuls show ha heump-dffuson process makes defaul unpredcable and shor erm cred spreads become posve whch s dfferen from he dffuson process. Compared wh he CDS prce under he suaon where he volaly s consan, he CDS prce under Markov regme shf s much dfferen. The dsance beween hem depends on nal sae and ranson nensy. The former can reflecs he nfluence of busness suaon changes on CDS prce. Ths s realsc when valung a medum-and long-erm CDS. I can be a good referrence for CDS prcng.
