Abstract
A new model, which connects the distribution of recovery rates with the demand/supply framework for secondary securities, is suggested. This model explains why the beta- distribution is a good fit for recovery rates modeling. A comparison with published data is provided. The approach and formula proposed in this paper could be used to model recovery rates.
