Detailed Description

Credit event on a bond of a certain seniority(ies)/currency.

Represents a credit event affecting all bonds with a given \ seniority and currency. It assumes that all such bonds suffer \ the event simultaneously. Some events affect all seniorities and this has to be encoded through a different set of events of the same event type. The event is an actual realization, not a contractual reference, as such it contains only an atomic type.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ DefaultEvent() [1/2]

DefaultEvent ( const Date & creditEventDate,
const DefaultType & atomicEvType,
Currency curr,
Seniority bondsSen,
const Date & settleDate = Date(),
const std::map< Seniority, Real > & recoveryRates = rate_map() )

Credit event with optional settlement information. Represents a credit event that has taken place. Realized events are of an atomic type. If the settlement information is given seniorities present are the seniorities/bonds affected by the event.

◆ DefaultEvent() [2/2]

DefaultEvent ( const Date & creditEventDate,
const DefaultType & atomicEvType,
Currency curr,
Seniority bondsSen,
const Date & settleDate,
Real recoveryRate )

Use NoSeniority to settle to all seniorities with that recovery. In that case the event is assumed to have affected all seniorities.

Member Function Documentation

◆ date()

Date date ( ) const
overridevirtual

returns the date at which the event occurs

Implements Event.

◆ recoveryRate()

virtual Real recoveryRate ( Seniority seniority) const
virtual

returns a value if the event lead to a settlement for the requested seniority. Specializations on the default atomics and recoveries could change the default policy.

◆ matchesEventType()

virtual bool matchesEventType ( const ext::shared_ptr< DefaultType > & contractEvType) const
virtual

matches the event if this event would trigger a contract related to the requested event type. Notice the contractual event types are not neccesarily atomic. Notice it does not check seniority or currency only event type. typically used from Issuer

◆ matchesDefaultKey()

virtual bool matchesDefaultKey ( const DefaultProbKey & contractKey) const
virtual

Returns true if this event would trigger a contract with the arguments characteristics.

◆ accept()

void accept ( AcyclicVisitor & )
overridevirtual

Reimplemented from Event.
