This paper investigates a structural credit default model that is based on a hyper-exponential jump diffusion process for the value of the firm. For credit default swap prices and other quantities of interest, explicit expressions for the corresponding Laplace transforms are derived. The time-dynamics of the model are studied, particularly the jumps in credit spreads, the understanding of which is crucial e.g. for the pricing of gap risk. As an application of our findings, the model is calibrated to credit default swap spreads observed in the market.

We calculate prices of first touch digitals under normal inverse Gaussian (NIG) processes, and compare them to prices in the Brownian model and double exponential jump-diffusion model. Numerical results are produced to show that for typical parameters values, the relative error of the Brownian motion approximation to NIG price can be 2–3 dozen percent if the spot price is at the distance 0.05–0.2 from the barrier (normalized to one). A similar effect is observed for approximations by the double exponential jump-diffusion model, if the jump component of the approximation is significant. We show that two jump-diffusion processes can give approximately the same results for European options but essentially different results for first touch digitals and barrier options. A fast approximate pricing formula under NIG is derived.
