Abstract

This paper considers credit portfolio models based on Levy processes in general, and the gamma model in particular. It describes both single-name and multi-name situations using the gamma model, along with calibration fits and a comparison of various simple Levy models. There is also extensive historical data, including the May 2005 Auto crisis, which can be described in terms of the model. Parameter-based risk management using the gamma model is also discussed along with implementation details.
