Abstract
This paper introduces an advanced structural credit risk model. It is built upon the Black-Cox model with the addition of a jump-diffusion driving process, a dynamic capital structure that targets an optimal gearing, a flexible liability maturity structure, a multi-rate tax regime treating government as a stakeholder, and an endogenously calculated default barrier.
