Some Extensions of Norros’ Lemma in Models with Several Defaults

  • Chapter

Abstract

We provide some extensions of Norros’ lemma for a model with several default times and nontrivial reference filtrations. These results allow a characterization of the filtration immersion properties in terms of the terminal values of compensators of the associated default processes. The method of proof is based on the analysis of properties of exponential martingales associated with the default times.

Acknowledgements

The paper was initiated when the author was visiting the Université d’Evry-Val-d’Essonne in November 2008. He is grateful to Monique Jeanblanc and the Département de Mathématiques for helpful discussions and warm hospitality. Financial support from the Europlace Institute of Finance and the European Science Foundation (ESF) through the grant number 2500 of the program Advanced Mathematical Methods for Finance (AMaMeF) are gratefully acknowledged. The author thanks Ashkan Nikeghbali for his comments and references to the literature. It is also a pleasure to thank Ilkka Norros for his encouragement to extend his result to the case of credit risk models.

This research also benefited from the support of the ’Chaire Risque de Crédit’, Fédération Bancaire Française.
