Abstract

This study analyzes the term structures of sovereign quanto credit default swap (CDS) spreads and currency options, which are driven by anticipated currency depreciation risk following sovereign credit default (Twin Ds). We develop consistent pricing models for these instruments using a jump-diffusion stochastic volatility model, which allows us to decompose the term structure into the risk components. We find a common risk factor between the intensity process of sovereign credit risk and the stochastic volatility of the exchange rate, and the depreciation risk mainly captures the dependence structure between these markets during periods of high market stress in the Eurozone countries. Depreciation risk is an important component of sovereign quanto CDS spreads and is evident in the negative slope of the volatility smile in the currency option market.
