In this paper, under the structure framework, a valuation model for a corporate bond with credit rating migration risk and in macro regime switch is established. The model turns to a free boundary problem in a partial differential equation (PDE) system. By PDE techniques, the existence, uniqueness and regularity of the solution are obtained. Furthermore, numerical examples are also presented.

Keywords: Credit rating migration, free boundary, regime switch, structure model, credit risk.
