Credit Risk Pricing via Epstein-Zin Pricing Kernel
We present an equilibrium framework for pricing corporate bonds with information delay in an Epstein-Zin setting. As in structural models of credit risk, the default time is modeled as the first hitting time of a default boundary by the unobservable process; the firm's asset value. The observable …

Numerical Tests of Two Conjectures in Fake Real Quadratic Orders
A fake real quadratic order is defined based on an imaginary quadratic field and a prime p but behaves similarly to real quadratic orders. Two conjectures regarding fake real quadratic orders are discussed in the thesis. The first one is the Cohen-Lenstra heuristic. Our computation showed that for …
