Condoned on he common facor of ndvdual eny, hs paper ges he condonal dsrbuon, and furher obans he loss dsrbuon of he whole reference porfolo. Based on he sem-analyc approach, he far spreads of collaeralzed deb oblgaons ranches,.e., he prces of collaeralzed deb oblgaons ranches, are derved. 1 Inroducon Collaeralzed deb oblgaons rggered a worldwde fnancal crss n 008.

Ths paper nroduces he srucural jump-dffuson model o descrbe he jump feaure of he ndvdual asse value and furher dscuss he prcng problem of he collaeralzed deb oblgaons ranches.

The buyers of he ranche wh lower aachmen pon K L and upper aachmen pon K U wll bear all losses n he porfolo value n excess of K L, and up o K U, percen of he nal value of he porfolo. CDO ranchng allows he holders of each ranche o lm her loss exposure o K U K L percen of he nal porfolo value. The cenral problem for prcng CDO ranches s he calculaon of loss dsrbuons of he reference porfolo over dfferen me horzons, and he key ssue s how o model he ndvdual asse value, especally n srucural models. The earler works for modellng he ndvdual asse value can be found n [1] where he evoluon of asse value was descrbed by a dffuson process drven by a geomerc Brownan moon. Bu he emprcal applcaon of a dffuson approach had yelded very dsapponng resuls for fng he marke daa, so some beer models were proposed. Examples of hese models can be found n [-9]. Albrecher e al. [] addressed a Lévy model for CDO prcng. Zhou [3] used a jump-dffuson approach wh a Posson process o analyze cred spreads, and Wllemann [4] used he jump-dffuson model o analyze a CDO prcng. [5] o [8] consdered he CDO prcng under he copula model. Wang e al. revewed he CDO heory n recen years. They derved some relavely good resuls for machng he marke daa of asse value. However, n hese models, here sll exss a lepokurc feaure ha he reurn dsrbuon of asses may have a hgher peak and wo asymmerc heaver als. For analyzng an opon prcng, Kou [10] presened a jump-dffuson asse model wh asymmerc double exponenal dsrbuon and derved some deal resuls. Movaed by hs, we nroduce he dea of Kou no CDO prcng. Usng he asse process n [10] and [11], we analyze n deal he loss dsrbuon of he reference porfolo and derve he far spreads of CDO ranches. The paper s organzed as follows. Secon summarzes a sem-analyc approach for prcng CDO ranche. Secon 3 presens he srucural jump-dffuson model wh asymmerc double exponenal dsrbuon, and derves he loss dsrbuon of he whole reference porfolo. Sem-analyc approach ForprcngaCDOranche[K L,K U ], ha s, fndng he far spread of he ranche, we mus analyze he values of wo legs: defaul leg DL) and premum leg PL). The value of DL presens he value of ranche losses rggered by cred evens durng he CDO lfeme, and he value of PL s he premum paymens weghed by he ousandng asse orgnal ranche amoun mnus accumulaed losses). Under he rsk-neural measure, he expeced value of boh legs should be equal,.e., E [ [ DL [KL,K U ]] E PL[KL,KU ]], 1) from whch we can derve he far spread of ranche [K L,K U ]. Now le us descrbe n deal he mehod o calculae he values of DL and PL for CDO ranche [K L,K U ]. For convenence, we assume ha he reference porfolo consss of N enes. Le 1.
