Markov Modulated Poisson Processes in Credit Risk Modelling

In this thesis, we use the Markov Modulated Poisson Process (MMPP) to model default arrival, a central issue of credit risk modelling. We work within the framework of reduced-form models to describe default rates as Markov chains, as an alternative to diffusion-based models. On one hand, the Markov...
