| Abstract: | Swaps are a form of derivative security that can be viewed as default insurance on loans or bonds. This review of the pricing of credit swaps or bonds, begins with a description of the credit swap contract, turns to pricing by reference to spreads over the risk-free rate of par floating-rate bonds of the same quality, and then considers model-based pricing. The role of asset swap spreads as a reference for pricing credit swaps is also considered. |
