Coval, Jurek and Stafford (2009, hereafter CJS) present a state-contingent framework for pricing CDO, in which they integrate the generalized form of Merton’s (1974) structural model with the CAPM. We demonstrate that this seemingly intuitive model violates a risk-neutral valuation relationship, and therefore results in biased state-contingent payoffs of the firm’s asset. We suggest a correct and generalized model, and revisit the pricing of CDO. We argue that this modification, though not translating into any significant difference in pricing traded CDOs, enable CJS to be a more accurate and strict, and thus powerful one.
