About this worksheet:
- Illustrates financial risk management using credit derivatives
- Can be used to learn how to construct models relevant to managing risk through the use of credit derivatives
- Demonstrates statistical models and computer programs to construct simulations of risk management using combinatorics
From the textbook Credit Derivatives: Risk Management, Trading, and Investing (John Wiley and Sons, 2005), this worksheet employs assumptions about the distribution of risk to simulate expected rates of default for the purposes of financial planning. This worksheet explains and explores:
- simulation pricing for testing
- generation of default times
- matrix creation function
- basket simulation
