One-factor Term Structure without Forward Rates
نویسندگان
چکیده
We construct a no-arbitrage model of bond prices where the long bond is used as a numeraire. We develop bond prices and their dynamics without developing any model for the spot rate or forward rates. The model is arbitrage free and all nominal interest rates remain positive in the model. We give examples where our model does not have a spot rate; other examples include both spot and forward rates.

A Two-factor Lognormal Model of the Term Structure and the Valuation of American-Style Options on Bonds
A Two-factor Lognormal Model of the Term Structure and the Valuation of American-Style Options on Bonds We build a no-arbitrage model of the term structure, using two stochastic factors, the shortterm interest rate and the premium of the forward rate over the short-term interest rate. The model extends the lognormal interest rate model of Black and Karasinski (1991) to two factors. It allows fo...
متن کاملThe 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 ...
متن کاملAn Affine Model of Long Maturity Forward rates, with Predictable Risk Premium
Distantly maturing forward rates represent the markets long term (risk neutral) expectations about interest rates. As such, they are the fundamental ingredient of the pricing kernel. In most equilibrium models, interest rates mean revert, and long forward rates are asymptotically constant. However, from US Treasury STRIPs data, forward rates slope increasingly downwards, and do not attenuate in...
متن کاملArbitrage Restrictions and Multi-factor Models of the Term Structure of Interest Rates. 1 Arbitrage Restrictions and Multi-factor Models
In this paper we investigate models of the term structure where the factors are interest rates. As an example, we derive a no-arbitrage model of the term structure in which any two futures (as opposed to forward) rates act as factors. The term structure shifts and tilts as the factor rates vary. The cross-sectional properties of the model derive from the solution of a twodimensional autoregress...
متن کاملA Quantum Field Theory Term Structure Model Applied to Hedging
A quantum field theory generalization, Baaquie [1], of the Heath, Jarrow, and Morton (HJM) [10] term structure model parsimoniously describes the evolution of imperfectly correlated forward rates. Field theory also offers powerful computational tools to compute path integrals which naturally arise from all forward rate models. Specifically, incorporating field theory into the term structure fac...
