An Intensity Based Non-Parametric Default Model
Part 1
I Introduction
II Definitions
Part 2
• In April 2001 Swiss banks held over CHF 500 billion of debt in form
of mortgages (about 63% of the total loan portfolios value held by
Swiss banks).
• Estimated Swiss real estate market value is between 2300 and 2800
billion CHF (more than twice the market capitalization of all stocks
included in Swiss Performance Index).
• About 86% of Swiss real estate are in the hands of private individ-
uals.
− maturity and interest rate are fixed by the issue of the mortgage;
− maturity usually of 2-5 years;
− prepayment costs are charged to clients.
• unemployment;
• divorce;
Let Si(t | Fi,t) = P Ti > t | Fi,t be the conditional survival probability and

fi (t | Fi,t) = limsց0 s P Ti ∈ (t, t + s] | Fi,t be the conditional density func-
tion of Ti . .
F
Under technical conditions, λi i and fi exist, and we have

• Si(t | Fi,t) = exp − d λi,u du where di = time of issue.

F
On the set {Ti > t} and for ∆t ≪ 1, λi,ti ∆t approximates the conditional
probability that a default occurs during (t, t + ∆t].

Overview of the model
F F
Let ηi,ti (θi; Yi,t) = log λi,ti (θi; Yi,t). Then we obtain
p
Fi
ηi,t(θi; Yi,t) = log λi,0 + log hi,0(t − di) + log hi,q (Yi,q (t)).
q=1
We suppose that E log hi,q (Yi,q (t)) = 0 for i = 1, . . . , n, q = 1, . . . , p.

Assumptions
• The θi’s are the same for all obligors in the same rating class.
⇒ Functional form depends only on the rating class.
5 X
• Let 0 = t0 < t1 < · · · < tm = T .

... • Oj,l = number of outstanding mortgages
X
RP during (tl , tl+1] in group j.
n
RP: repayment.
X: default. • Dj,l = number of mortgages defaulted dur-
ing (tl , tl+1] in group j.
Remarks
• If all the fq ’s are linear functions, then (η, G, FY ) is called a gener-
alized linear model (GLM).
• For observations (Vi )i=1,...,M we need Vi | Yi ∼ FYi , independently.
• The GAM serves as a diagnostic tool for suggesting transformations
of the predictors.

GAM estimation
Remarks
• FY = binomial(n, p(Y)) is an exponential family density with φ = 1.
Vi = α + fq (Yi,q ) + ǫi,
q=1
where ǫi = Vi − E Vi | Y . The backfitting algorithm proceeds as follows:
M
0 = 1
• Initialization r = 0: fq0 ≡ 0 for q = 1, . . . , p, α M i=1 Vi .
Let

Vj,l =

uj,l (θ) = 1 − exp −(tl+1 − tl ) λ(tl , θ | yj,tl )

• The mortgage product and the mortgage interest rate ri,tl applied
during the quarter [tl−1, tl ) are available for i = 1, . . . , 73683 and

1000 simulations of the total number of defaults during the first quarter 2001 in a portfolio P ′ with
100000 obligors. Obligors in P ′ are distributed among the 26 regions, the 2 mortgage products and
the 2 rating classes as in portfolio P at the end of the last quarter 2000. Two scenario for the interest
rate are considered: increase of 0.75% (left histogram), decrease of 0.5% (right histogram).

• Stochastic modeling of recoverables.
