本文系统梳理了简化形式的相关违约模型研究，将现有文献分类，并指出未来研究方向，对信用风险研究者有参考价值。
Purpose This paper aims to provide an overview, a classification of existing research groups for correlated default models using a reduced-form method and an identification of future research opportunities in the field. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review is used for the identification, selection, evaluation and synthesis of relevant literature using keywords regarding the reduced-form default models in the Web of Science database. The authors also add articles from cross-referencing and expert recommendations to the literature. HistCite ™ program is used to generate a citation map of the literature. Findings The results show that reduced-form correlated default risk models are developing towards modelling credit risk with both observable and unobservable variables. The frailty correlated default model at the firm level is still a potential research field. Originality/value This is the first paper systematically reviewing the research on reduced-form models of default timing.
