implied.RR: Calculates Implied Recovery Rate

Description Usage Arguments Value

Description

implied.RR that calculates the recovery rate implied by the CDS spread and probability of default (pd) by using the ISDA model. This takes a data frame of inputs and returns a vector of the same length.

Usage

2
implied.RR(x, date.var = "date", tenor.var = "tenor",
  maturity.var = "maturity", spread.var = "spread", pd.var = "pd")

Arguments

x

data frame, contains all the relevant columns.

date.var

character, column in x containing date variable.

tenor.var

character, column in x containing tenors.

maturity.var

character, column in x containing maturity date.

spread.var

character, column in x containing spread in basis points.

pd.var

name of the column containing the probability of default rates.

Value

implied recovery rate in percentage based on the general approximation for a probability of default in the Bloomberg manual. The actual calculation uses a complicated bootstrapping process, so the results may be marginally different.
