“…Similarly, Hilscher and Wilson (2017) suggest that CDS contain additional information on top of credit ratings. Berndt, Douglas, Duffie, and Ferguson (2018), a related paper, discusses time series and cross sectional patterns in CDS. Among many other things, the authors show that a large portion of CDS spread movements is determined by factors outside of physical default probabilities.…”

“…3 The quantitative value of government guarantees depends critically on the risk neutral probability of a crisis state. In section 4, we use data on the realized returns on broad portfolios of corporate bonds from Asvanunt and Richardson (2016), as well as estimates of the credit risk premium from Berndt, Douglas, Duffie, and Ferguson (2017), to measure exposure to aggregate credit risk and to calibrate the risk neutral probability of a crisis. Based on these data, we calibrate the risk neutral probability of the crisis state to 5% on an annual basis.…”

“…We also use information from recent studies of the expected credit risk premium on investment grade corporate bonds relative to similar duration Treasury bonds by Asvanunt and Richardson (2016) and Berndt, Douglas, Duffie, and Ferguson (2017). The expected risk premium on any asset relative to another asset is the expected value of the excess return under the physical probabilities p(s).…”
