Abstract

We develop a structural credit risk model by incorporating three features of Credit Risk Mitigation Warrant (CRMW): specific protection, targeted guidance, and actual implementation. The model quantifies CRMW’s effect on credit spreads under systematic and idiosyncratic shocks. Results show that CRMW: (1) reduces credit spreads by raising default boundaries, with stronger effects under idiosyncratic shocks; (2) exhibits pro-cyclical feature that amplifies spread volatility; (3) is outperformed by fiscal bailouts under systematic risk, while its signaling effect mitigates adverse selection. This paper provides valuable insights into CRMW’s credit risk management mechanisms and effects.
