Abstract

We consider the unilateral credit valuation adjustment (CVA) of a credit default swap (CDS) under a contagion model with regime-switching interacting intensities. The model assumes that the interest rate, the recovery, and the default intensities of the protection seller and the reference entity are all influenced by macro-economy described by a homogeneous Markov chain. By using the idea of “change of measure” and some formulas for the Laplace transforms of the integrated intensity processes, we derive the semi-analytical formulas for the joint distribution of the default times and the unilateral CVA of a CDS.
