All models of credit risk are firmly rooted in the concepts of efficient markets. Kamakura believes that market prices of credit derivatives, debt instruments and equities all provide useful and related information on the credit quality of the underlying institution, but moving rationally in different ways because of distinct rights and privileges of the security holder.
