Pricing defaultable debt: some exact results

Statistical Mechanics 2008-12-10 v1 Pricing of Securities

Abstract

In this letter, I consider the issue of pricing risky debt by following Merton's approach. I generalize Merton's results to the case where the interest rate is modeled by the CIR term structure. Exact closed forms are provided for the risky debt's price.
