Modeling wrong way and right way counterparty credit risk

In case of financial contracts involving future transactions, there is a chance that one of the parties will fail to make its due payment. The associated risk is known as counterparty credit risk. In the simplest approximation the probability of default can be considered to be independent of the exposure of the defaulting party. However, this oversimplified model turns out to be insufficient in many real world situations when the relation between the default probability and the exposure leads to dramatic effect which cannot be neglected. In these cases we need to handle the emerging wrong way or right way risk. I will present the basic idea behind this effect and introduce various models suggested, and used in practice to take this into account.
