摘要:This paper shows that the standard and deferred filtration structural models of corporate default are isomorphic, allowing the insights of the standard full information setting to be carried over to the more complex case of asymmetric information. It shows that the accounting lag, which provides a general indicator of uncertainty and opacity in the deferred filtration model, plays a role analogous to that of forward maturity in the standard model. The comparative static properties of the standard model carry over mutatis mutandis and can also be used to sign the effect of signals upon the effective accounting lag and drift parameters.
