Default Risk Correlations: The relationship between competition intensity changing events and default risk correlations within industries. 

This research looks at incorporating a competition intensity factor into a default risk model in order to measure a more accurate value of default correlations between companies. Default risk correlations have profound effects on portfolio default rates, and a better understanding of the causes of these correlations will allow for better risk management.
