At-the-money CDS coupon.


et MATH be a fixed CDS coupon schedule. It makes sense to introduce a coupon $c_{t}$ that sets market value of a CDS to zero given market conditions at time moment $t$ . The $c_{t}$ is a stochastic process.

Based on the relationship MATH we obtain MATH The expression in the numerator is a price of combination of risky annuities. We can use it as a numeraire as long as there is no default. Hence, there exists a probability measure such that the $c_{t}$ is a martingale.

We represent the price of the CDS using the quantity $c_{t}$ : MATH Hence, we replace a non-observable quantity $R_{k}$ with the directly quoted quantity $c_{t}$ .

We introduce the notation

MATH (Risky annuity)
and write the last result as MATH
