We obtain an explicit expression for the price of a vulnerable claim written on a stock whose predefault dynamics follows a Lévy-driven SDE. The stock jumps to zero at default with a hazard rate given by a negative power of the stock price. We recover the characteristic function of the terminal log price as the solution of an infinite-dimensional system of complex-valued first-order ordinary differential equations. We provide an explicit eigenfunction expansion representation of the characteristic function in a suitably chosen Banach space and use it to price defaultable bonds and stock options. We present numerical results to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the method.

Abstract: | We obtain an explicit expression for the price of a vulnerable claim written on a stock whose predefault dynamics follows a Lévy-driven SDE. The stock jumps to zero at default with a hazard rate given by a negative power of the stock price. We recover the characteristic function of the terminal log price as the solution of an infinite-dimensional system of complex-valued first-order ordinary differential equations. We provide an explicit eigenfunction expansion representation of the characteristic function in a suitably chosen Banach space and use it to price defaultable bonds and stock options. We present numerical results to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the method. |
