Abstract

We analyse the effect of panda bonds on indebted firms default probability. The theoretical default probability as a function of debt is evaluated in the Black, Scholes (1973) and Merton (1974) framework for various set of parameters values. We consider as benchmark the prevailing default rates for speculative-grade corporate companies based on the last reports by S&P (2019) and Moody’s (2018).
