Abstract

In this chapter, we relax the homogeneous portfolio assumption, and we derive an asymptotic series expansion of the \(k{\text {th}}\)-to-default Q-factor in the non-homogeneous case. We also show how to compute the conditional aggregate default distributions that appear in the expansion using the convolution recursion algorithm.
