How Is a Default Risk Premium Determined?

The default risk premium is the return compensation corresponding to the risk that a bond issuer cannot pay interest and principal within a specified time. The higher the bond's credit rating, the smaller the default risk; the lower the bond's credit rating, the greater the default risk. Corporate bonds have more or less default risk, and government bonds are generally considered to have no default risk. [1]
