This paper develops a simple model to study the credit risk premiums of credit-linked notes using the structural model. Closed-form solutions of credit risk premiums of the credit-linked notes derived from the model as functions of firm values and the short-term interest rate, with time-dependent model parameters governing the dynamics of the firm values and interest rate. The numerical results show that the credit spreads of a credit-linked note increase non-linearly with the decrease in the correlation between the asset values of the note issuer and the reference obligor when the final payoff condition depends on the asset values of the note issuer and the reference obligor. When the final payoff condition depends on the recovery rate of the note issuer upon default, the credit spreads could increase with the correlation. In addition, the term structures of model parameters and the correlations involving interest rate are clearly the important factors in determining the credit spreads of the notes.

Nonmonotonic Function

Abstract Exposures of expected future nominal depreciation rates to the current interest rate differential violate the UIP hypothesis in a pattern that is a nonmonotonic function of horizon. Forward expected nominal depreciation rates are monotonic. We explain the two patterns by simultaneously incorporating the weak form of PPP into a joint model of the stochastic discount factor, the nominal exchange rate, and domestic and foreign yield curves. Departures from PPP generate the first pattern. The risk premiums for these departures generate the second pattern. Thus, the variance of the stochastic discount factor is related to the real exchange rate.

The Difference

The expectations theory posits that the long interest rate is an average of expected short term interest rates with the possibility of the existence of a risk premium. This paper looks upon fourteen samples of investments for which the difference in maturity is three months. All yields are actual yields and are adjusted to have the same maturities as the short rate. The evidence is strong for the pure expectations theory which predicts that the risk premiums are zero. This should not be surprising because the premium that we are looking for is merely 4 basis points per quarter. The contribution of this paper, besides giving support to the pure expectations theory, is to lay out the fundamental and basic methodology that one should follow in order to study other investments similar to ours. Both unconditional and conditional tests are performed. Because of sampling error and small-sample bias the unconditional tests may be preferable.

The Interest Rate

The objective of this paper is to empirically investigate the applicability of the asset pricing model in a portfolio made up of groups of countries, the G20 for this case. In the meantime, it was intended to compare a complete sample of 14 constituent countries of the group, a subsample of four countries belonging to the BRICS and another of the countries that do not belong. The survey sample consisted of long-term interest rate data from these countries collected in the OECD database and also from the Central Bank of Brazil (Bacen). Based on the results of the regression of Panel data on fixed effects, we found evidence that there is a statistically positive relationship between the market risk premium and the interest rate risk premiums. The regression betas showed that the interest rate risk premium is not sensitive when considering the full sample of the G20 countries but is sensitive in the BRICS sample.

Global Presence

France is home to numerous banks and insurers which are very active at a global scale. Four Global Systemically Important Banks (G-SIBs) are incorporated in France as well as multiple number of large insurers. Assets of banking system exceed GDP by 2.7 times. Four G-SIBs dominate France’s financial landscape, also taking into account bancassurance (i.e., banking and insurance companies working under financial conglomerate structure) business model they have. Global presence and diversification, integration of banking and insurance activities defined the perimeter and scope of systemic risk assessment (including stress testing) of FSAP. This technical note contributes to the FSAP’s assessment of systemic risk with a comprehensive set of stress testing exercises. The assessment is based on stress tests, which simulate the health of banks, insurers under severe yet plausible (counterfactual) adverse scenarios. Scenarios include global and regional financial market turmoil (shocks to term and risk premiums), a major slowdown of economic activity in Euro Area (EA) and France due to secular stagnation and trade shocks. The analyses include simulations based on solvency and liquidity scenarios.
