. First, we calibrated the homogeneous version of the model to trancheand index spreads from the iTraxx Europe in the years 2006 (before the creditcrisis) and 2009. T he calibration precision (Step 4) was chosen as 1% relativeerror and regularization was use d to obtain a smooth distri[r]

countries are moving in the direction of sharing more “positive” data about consumers (i.e.,accounts currently open and active, balances, credit limits). In these countries, (e.g., Brazil,Argentina, Chile) consumer credit files contain some positive information, although the maj[r]

why some assets pay higher average returns than others.To value an asset, we have to account for the delay and for the risk of its payments. Theeffects of time are not too difficult to work out. However, corrections for risk are muchmore important determinants of an many assets’ values. For ex[r]

Davis and Lo and by Jarrow and Yu propose interesting models for the dynamics of defaultcorrelation.Our paper is organised as follows. In Section 2 we provide some general notation fordescribing the default models of this paper. We study latent variable models
