Default risk permeates the behavior of corporate bond returns and spreads, credit default swap spreads, estimation of default probabilities, and loss in default. Pertinent to this review are salient empirical findings and implications of default process estimation from 1974 to 2021. Both structural and reduced-form models are covered. In structural models, default occurs if the value of assets falls below some threshold obligation. The reduced-form models involve assumptions about the default process combined with recovery in default. Default process estimation and measurements of default probability have improved by exploiting data on defaultable bonds, credit default swaps, tally of default realizations, and options on individual equities. Empirical investigations continue to address the relevance of stochastic asset volatility, jumps in asset values, and modeling of default boundary and firm leverage process. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Financial Economics, Volume 13 is November 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
