Negative correlations in Ising models of credit risk
We analyze a subclass of Ising models in the context of credit risk, focusing on Dandelion models when the correlations $ρ$ between the central node and each non-central node are negative. We establish the possible range of values for $ρ$ and derive an explicit formula linking the correlation between any pair of non-central nodes to $ρ$. The paper concludes with a simulation study.
