Overview: Modelling firms default is becoming important, especially in recent times where the market is experiencing a large development in credit derivatives trading. This paper develops a tractable structural model with analytical default probabilities depending on some dynamics parameters, and shows how to calibrate the model using a chosen number of Credit Default Swap (CDS) market quotes. Finally it provides a typical example of a case where the calibrated structural model can be used for credit pricing in a much more convenient way than a calibrated reduced form model: The pricing of counterparty risk in an equity swap.
