This thesis focuses on several related topics from two areas in the field of credit risk. On the one hand, it is concerned with the simulation and modeling of realistic correlation matrices, developing a simulation algorithm for Perron-Frobenius correlation matrices and presenting a new approach for the joint modeling of CDS spreads via Gaussian random fields and distance-parameterized correlation functions adapted from geostatistics. On the other hand, new pricing approaches for CDS options and convertible bonds are developed.
