问题如下:
Robin Hudson, FRM, was discussing the various methods to estimate default probabilities with her colleague Kate Alexander, FRM. Hudson made the following comments:
I. Transition matrices are an important component of the risk-neutral approach.
II. Hazard rates measure the instantaneous conditional default probability.
III. Risk-neutral default probabilities are downward biased estimates of real-world default probabilities.
How many of these statements should Alexander agree with?
选项:
A. None of the statements.
B. One statement.
C. Two statements.
D. Three statements.
解释:
B Only statement II is correct. Transition matrices are more likely to be used in the historical approach. Empirical evidence shows that real-world default probabilities are significantly lower than risk-neutral default probabilities.
不太理解选项II里这个instantaneous condition是指的什么,Hazard Rate不是指的连续时的违约概率吗?
