Abstract

We study the effect of risk aversion on the valuation of credit derivatives. Using the technology of utility-indiffierence valuation in intensity-based models of default risk, we analyze resulting yield spreads for single-name defaultable bonds and a simple representative two-name credit derivative. The impact of risk averse valuation on prices and yield spreads is expressed in terms of “effective correlation.”.
