We develop a pricing model for Sovereign Contingent Convertible bonds (S-CoCo) with payment standstills triggered by a sovereign's Credit Default Swap (CDS) spread. We model CDS spread regime switching, which is prevalent during crises, as a hidden Markov process, coupled with a mean-reverting stochastic process of spr…

problem The impact of ESG factors on sovereign bond yields and credit ratings is not fully understood.
method The study identifies relevant ESG indicators and compares their importance in bond pricing and credit ratings.
result ESG factors, particularly the G and S pillars, are more important for credit ratings than the E pillar.

Deep learning improves macroeconomic forecasting and risk assessment.

problem Improving accuracy in macroeconomic forecasting and sovereign risk assessment.
method Nowcasting and forecasting using deep learning techniques.
result Deep learning methods outperform traditional econometric techniques in out-of-sample performance.

In this paper we first introduce two new financial products: stock loan and capped stock loan. Then we develop a pure variational inequality method to establish explicitly the values of these stock loans. Finally, we work out ranges of fair values of parameters associated with the loans.

Loan default prediction is one of the most important and critical problems faced by banks and other financial institutions as it has a huge effect on profit. Although many traditional methods exist for mining information about a loan application, most of these methods seem to be under-performing as there have been repo…

Examines how extending home loan durations affects French households financially.

problem Financial implications for households with extended home loan durations.
method Analysis of French and international home loan systems, including bullet loans and Japanese home loans.
result Extending home loan durations can reduce monthly payments but raises financial risks.

Current auto loans converge to super-prime credit despite remaining underwater.

problem Inefficient consumer behavior in auto loans leading to suboptimal credit risk.
method Large-sample statistical hypothesis test on transition matrix between risk bands.
result All current risk bands converge to super-prime credit, despite remaining underwater.

A stock loan is a loan, secured by a stock, which gives the borrower the right to redeem the stock at any time before or on the loan maturity. The way of dividends distribution has a significant effect on the pricing of the stock loan and the optimal redeeming strategy adopted by the borrower. We present the pricing mo…

Extends ASRF model for green and brown loans, accounting for systematic and idiosyncratic risks.

problem Credit risk assessment for portfolios of green and brown loans.
method Two-factor copula structure, skewed distributions for systematic risk, Gaussian for idiosyncratic risk, non-uniform exposure setting.
result Portfolio loss convergence to a limit reflecting green and brown loan characteristics.

Logistic Regression and Support Vector Machine algorithms, together with Linear and Non-Linear Deep Neural Networks, are applied to lending data in order to replicate lender acceptance of loans and predict the likelihood of default of issued loans. A two phase model is proposed; the first phase predicts loan rejection,…

We derive a "semi-analytic" solution for a stock loan in which the lender forces liquidation when the loan-to-collateral ratio drops beneath a certain threshold. We use this to study the sensitivity of the contract to model parameters.

Optimal student loan repayment strategies vary based on loan size.

problem Finding the most cost-effective repayment strategy for federal student loans.
method Analyzing the impact of different repayment strategies on total cost for varying loan sizes.
result Optimal repayment strategies depend on the loan balance, with different approaches for small, large, and intermediate balances.

This paper works out fair values of stock loan model with automatic termination clause, cap and margin. This stock loan is treated as a generalized perpetual American option with possibly negative interest rate and some constraints. Since it helps a bank to control the risk, the banks charge less service fees compared …

A stock loan is a contract whereby a stockholder uses shares as collateral to borrow money from a bank or financial institution. In Xia and Zhou (2007), this contract is modeled as a perpetual American option with a time varying strike and analyzed in detail within a risk--neutral framework. In this paper, we extend th…
