Tough section to explain in an easy way over this forum. you are referring to structural versus reduced form models I assume?

This how rationalize țhem in one sentence each. Structural- determine credit spread via “option” pricing mechanisms; stock holders long a call and debt holders short a put. Reduced- prices credit spread based off bond mechansims; present value of expected losses.
I could add things like business cycle affecting credit spreads which is absolutely relevant for cyclical exposed firms, like you said.
That’s just how I look at it. Can’t tell ya if that’s right ha ha but I hope so!

just an overview of the models:
structural – view as en euro call (if company performs well the owners will exercise the option of keeping it in business and will repay debt), all assets trade, use of calibration
reduce – some of company debt trades, historical estimation, analyze bond measuring the business cycle (key fact)
ABS – differs from credit ratings (which this section seems not to like too much) bc there is no probability of default as an ABS cant literally defaultwhat other important concept am i missing?
