    2020 Elsevier B.V. Ma and Xu (2016) proposed a Hawkes jump-diffusion model for the firm\u27s value to describe the unexpectedness of default and default clustering in the framework of Merton\u27s structural default. However, the authors resorted to Monte-Carlo simulations for the calculation of the default probability and the default correlation, as no other solution method was available in the literature. In this note, we present a closed-form solution for the probability of default and the default correlation using the characteristic function. Our new solution can substantially improve the computational efficiency for the problem
