Reduced-form framework and affine processes with jumps under model uncertainty

We introduce a sublinear conditional operator with respect to a family of possibly non- dominated probability measures in presence of multiple ordered default times. In this way we generalize the results in [3] where a consistent reduced-form framework under model uncertainty for a single default is developed. Moreover, we present a probabilistic construction Rd-valued non-linear affine processes with jumps, which allows to model intensities in a reduced-form framework. This yields a tractable model for Knightian uncertainty for which the sublinear expectation of a Markovian functional can be calculated via a partial integro-differential equation. This talk is based on [1] and [2].
