• In this paper, we study the basket CDS pricing with two defaultable counterparties based on the reduced-form model. The default jump intensities of the reference firms and counterparties are all assumed to follow the mean-reverting constant elasticity of variance (CEV) processes. Taking the Vasicek process which is a special case of CEV process as an example, the approximate analytic solutions of the joint survival probability density, the probability densities of the first default and the first two defaults can be solved by using PDE method. In addition, we also extend the Vasciek process to the Vasciek process with cojumps and obtain the approximate closed-form solutions of the relevant default probability densities. Then with the expressions of the probability densities, we can get the formula of the basket CDS price with two defaultable counterparties. In the numerical analysis, we do sensitivity analysis and compare the basket CDS prices under our model with that with only one defaultable counterparty. The numerical results show that our model can be applied into practice.
