 The Delivery Option in Credit Default Swaps
Abstract: Under standard assumptions the deterministic reduced-form credit risk model is not capable of accurately pricing the two fundamental credit risk instruments - bonds and credit default swaps (CDS) - simultaneously.
An extended model is presented which includes the delivery option implicit in CDS contracts emerging since a basket of bonds is deliverable in default.
A cross-sectional analysis reveals that the implied recovery parameter depends on proxies for the delivery option, primarily the number of available bonds and the bond pricing errors.
