Introduction Model Joint and cond risk SMP and EFSF Conclusion
Contributions
We propose a novel modeling framework to infer conditional andjoint probabilities for sovereign default risk from observed CDS.
Novel framework? Based on a dynamic GH skewed—t multivariatedensity/copula with time-varying volatility and correlations.
Multivariate model is suffi ciently flexible to be calibrated daily to creditmarket expectations. Not an "offi cial opinion".
Analysis is based on Euro area CDS data from 2008M1 to 2011M6.Event study: SMP/EFSF announcement & initial impact on risk.

Empirical questions
(Q1) Financial stability information: Based on credit marketexpectations, what is ...
Pr(two or more credit events in Euro area)?Pr(i|j)-Pr(i), for any i,j?Spillovers, e.g. Pr(PT|GR) - Pr(PT|not GR)?Corrt (i,j) at time t?
(Q2) Model risk: For answering (a), how important are parametricassumptions? Normal vs Student-t vs GH skewed-t.
(Q3) Event study: did the May 09, 2010 Euro area rescue packagechange risk dependence? How?

Introduction Model Joint and cond risk SMP and EFSF Conclusion
The GHST copula framework
Sovereign defaults iff benefits (vit ) exceed a cost (c it ), where
vit = (ςt − µς)L̃itγ+√
ςt L̃itεt , i = 1, ..., n,
εt ∼N(0, In) is a vector of risk factors,L̃it contains risk factor loadings,γ ∈ Rn determines skewness,ςt ∼ IG is an additional scalar risk factor for, say, interconnectedness.
A default occurs with probability pit , where
pit = Pr[vit > cit ] = 1− Fi (cit ) ⇔ cit = F−1i (1− pit ),
where Fi is the CDF of vit .
Focus on conditional probability Pr[vit > cit |vjt > cjt ], i 6= j .

where
d(yt ) = υ+ (yt − µ̃t )′Σ̃−1t (yt − µ̃t ),
µ̃t = −υ/(υ− 2) L̃tγ,Σ̃t = L̃t L̃′t is scale matrix
If γ = 0, then GH skewed-t simplifies to Student’s t density.If in addition υ−1 → 0, then multivariate Gaussian density.Σ̃t (ft ) = L̃t (ft )L̃t (ft )′ is driven by 1st and 2nd derivative of the pdf.

Assume that Σt = DtRtDt = Lt (ft )Lt (ft )′ and that
ft+1 = ω+∑p−1i=0 Ai st−i+∑q−1

where st = St∇t is the scaled score∇t = ∂ ln p(y t ; Σ̃(f t ),γ, υ)/∂f tSt = Et−1[∇t∇′t |yt−1, yt−2, ...]−1,
Scaling matrix St is inverse conditional Fisher information matrix.

Extracting marginal pd’s from CDS
We equate the premium and default leg of CDS given a default intensity.
pit ≈sit (1+ rt )1− reci
, (∗)
where
sit = CDS annual fee, country i , time t
rt = LIBOR 1 year rate, flat
reci = 25% expected recovery, stressed.
Eqn (∗) is exact if the term structures for pd’s and interest rates are flat,sit is paid to the seller continuously, and there is no counterparty creditrisk, see Brigo and Mercurio (2007).
