Abstract
Abstract
The misevaluation of risk in securitized
nancial products is central to understand-
ing the Financial Crisis of 2007-2008. This paper characterizes the evolution of factors
a¤ecting collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) based on subprime mortgages. A key
feature of subprime-mortgage backed indices is that they are distinct in their vintage
of issuance. Using a latent factor framework that incorporates this vintage e¤ect, we
show the increasing importance of a common factor on more senior tranches during the
crisis. We examine this common factor and its relationship with spreads. We estimate
the e¤ects on the common factor of the
nancial crisis.
