Risikomanagement mit Kreditoptionen

Author

Abstract

During recent years markets for credit derivatives have developed considerably. Innovative financial instruments offer new ways to banks to manage credit risk. In this paper we use a simple microeconomic model to show how a credit option of the put type can be used by a bank's risk-averse management to hedge against credit risk. We find that under optimal hedging the Value at Risk is zero and the bank chooses to over-hedge.
