Using path integrals to price interest rate derivatives

نویسنده

  • Matthias Otto
چکیده

We present a new approach for the pricing of interest rate derivatives which allows a direct computation of option premiums without deriving a (BlackScholes type) partial differential equation and without explicitly solving the stochastic process for the underlying variable. The approach is tested by rederiving the prices of a zero bond and a zero bond option for a short rate environment which is governed by Vasicek dynamics. Furthermore, a generalization of the method to general short rate models is outlined. In the case, where analytical solutions are not accessible, numerical implementations of the path integral method in terms of lattice calculations as well as path integral Monte Carlo simulations are possible.

Time - inhomogeneous Lévy processes in interest rate and credit risk models

In this thesis, we present interest rate models and a credit risk model, all driven by time-inhomogeneous Lévy processes, i.e. stochastic processes whose increments are independent but in general not stationary. In the interest rate part, we discuss a Heath–Jarrow–Morton forward rate model (the Lévy term structure model), a model for forward bond prices (the Lévy forward price model) and a Libo...

Pricing of Futures Contracts by Considering Stochastic Exponential Jump Domain of Spot Price

Derivatives are alternative financial instruments which extend traders opportunities to achieve some financial goals. They are risk management instruments that are related to a data in the future, and also they react to uncertain prices. Study on pricing futures can provide useful tools to understand the stochastic behavior of prices to manage the risk of price volatility. Thus, this study eval...

An algorithm for real-time tomography of gas concentrations, using prior information about spatial derivatives

We present a new computed tomographymethod, the low third derivative (LTD)method, that is particularly suited for reconstructing the spatial distribution of gas concentrations from path-integral data for a small number of optical paths. The method "nds a spatial distribution of gas concentrations that (1) has path integrals that agree with measured path integrals, and (2) has a low third spatia...

A representation of non-uniformly sampled deterministic and random signals and their reconstruction using sample values and derivatives

Shannon in his 1949 paper suggested the use of derivatives to increase the W*T product of the sampled signal. Use of derivatives enables improved reconstruction particularly in the case of non-uniformly sampled signals. An FM-AM representation for Lagrange/Hermite type interpolation and a reconstruction technique are discussed. The representation using a product of a polynomial and exponential ...
