Abstract
A multi-dimensional extension of the structural default model with firms' values driven by diffusion processes with Marshall-Olkin-inspired
correlation structure is presented. Semi-analytical methods for solving
the forward calibration problem and backward pricing problem in three
dimensions are developed. The model is used to analyze bilateral counter- party risk for credit default swaps and evaluate the corresponding credit and debt value adjustments.
