Computing survival probabilities based on stochastic differential models

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a very efficient method to compute survival probabilities.

• We combine polynomial differential quadrature with high-order time-stepping.

• We consider a reduced-form model and a structural model that arise from finance and insurance.

• The method is model independent and could also be extended to other stochastic processes.

• Numerical comparison with other recent approaches is provided.
