Summary:
In this paper, we study the pricing of credit risky securities under a three-firms contagion model. The interacting default intensities not only depend on the defaults of other firms in the system, but also depend on the default-free interest rate which follows jump diffusion stochastic differential equation, which extends the previous three-firms models (see R. A. Jarrow and F. Yu (2001), S. Y. Leung and Y. K. Kwok (2005), A. Wang and Z. Ye (2011)). By using the method of change of measure and the technology (H. S. Park (2008), R. Hao and Z. Ye (2011)) of dealing with jump diffusion processes, we obtain the analytic pricing formulas of defaultable zero-coupon bonds. Moreover, by the ``total hazard construction'', we give the analytic pricing formulas of credit default swap (CDS).
