On Non-existence of a One Factor Interest Rate Model for Volatility Averaged Generalized Fong–vasicek Term Structures

چکیده

We study the generalized Fong–Vasicek two-factor interest rate model with stochastic volatility. In this model dispersion is assumed to follow a non-negative process with volatility proportional to the square root of dispersion, while the drift is assumed to be a general function. We consider averaged bond prices with respect to the limiting distribution of stochastic dispersion. The averaged bond prices depend on time and current level of the short rate like it is the case in many popular one-factor interest rate model including, in particular, the Vasicek and Cox–Ingersoll-Ross model. However, as a main result of this paper we show that there is no such one-factor model yielding the same bond prices as the averaged values described above.

The Importance of Forward-Rate Volatility Structures in Pricing Interest Rate-Sensitive Claims*

Studies of the sensitivity of the prices of interest rate claims to alternative specifications of the volatility of spot and forward interest rates have drawn different conclusions. One possible explanation for this is that it is difficult to adjust the volatility structure without disturbing the initial set of bond prices. In this chapter we use a term structure-constrained model that lets us ...

On the Geometry of the Term Structure of Interest Rates

We present recently developed geometric methods for the analysis of finite dimensional term structure models of the interest rates. This includes an extension of the Frobenius theorem for Fréchet spaces in particular. This approach puts new light on many of the classical models, such as the Hull-White extended Vasicek and Cox-Ingersoll-Ross short rate models. The notion of a finite dimensional ...

This paper develops a simple model for pricing interest rate options. Analytical solutiorls are developed for European claims and extremely efficient algorithms exist for tile pricing of American opciolls. T h e interest rate claims are priced in the Heath-Jarrow-klorto~i paradigm, and hence illcorporate full information on the term structure. T h e volatility. structure for forward rates is hu...

Solutions of Two-Factor Models With Variable Interest Rates

The focus of this work is on numerical solutions to two-factor option pricing partial differential equations with variable interest rates. Two interest rate models, the Vasicek model and the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross model (CIR), are considered. Emphasis is placed on the definition and implementation of boundary conditions for different portfolio models, and on appropriate truncation of the computatio...

On Finite-dimensional Term Structure Models

In this paper we provide the characterization of all finite-dimensional Heath–Jarrow–Morton models that admit arbitrary initial yield curves. It is well known that affine term structure models with time-dependent coefficients (such as the Hull–White extension of the Vasicek short rate model) perfectly fit any initial term structure. We find that such affine models are in fact the only finite-fa...
