Overview: One of the major developments in real estate finance during the 1990s was the emergence of a viable market for commercial mortgage backed securities. The growth in this market has spurred greater interest in empirical and theoretical research on commercial mortgage default and prepayment. The article employs a competing risks model to examine the default and prepayment behavior of commercial loans underlying CMBS deals. It finds that changes in the yield curve have a direct impact on the probability of mortgage termination. Furthermore, it does not find any statistical relationship between LTV and prepayment or default.
