چکیده
The Valuation of American-style Swaptions in a Two-factor Spot-Futures Model. We build a no-arbitrage model of the term structure of interest rates using two stochastic factors, the short-term interest rate and the premium of the futures rate over the shortterm interest rate. The model provides an extension of the lognormal interest rate model of Black and Karasinski (1991) to two factors, both of which can exhibit mean-reversion. The method is computationally e cient for several reasons. First, the model is based on Libor futures prices, enabling us to satisfy the no-arbitrage condition without resorting to iterative methods. Second, we modify and implement the binomial approximation methodology of Nelson and Ramaswamy (1990) and Ho, Stapleton and Subrahmanyam (1995) to compute a multiperiod tree of rates with the no-arbitrage property. The method uses a recombining two-dimensional binomial lattice of interest rates that minimizes the number of states and term structures over time. In addition to these computational advantages, a key feature of the model is that it is consistent with the observed term structure of futures rates as well as the term structure of volatilities implied by the prices of interest rate caps and oors. We use the model to price European-style, Bermudan-style, and American-style swaptions. These prices are shown to be highly sensitive to the existence of the second factor and its volatility characteristics. The Valuation of American-style Swaptions 1

The Valuation of Caps, Floors and Swaptions in a Multi-Factor Spot-Rate Model. We build a multi-factor, no-arbitrage model of the term structure of interest rates. The stochastic factors are the short-term interest rate and the premia of the futures rates over the short-term interest rate. In the three-factor version of the model, for example, the rst factor is the threemonth LIBOR, the second ...
متن کاملPricing 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...
متن کاملPricing of Commodity Futures Contract by Using of Spot Price Jump-Diffusion Process
Futures contract is one of the most important derivatives that is used in financial markets in all over the world to buy or sell an asset or commodity in the future. Pricing of this tool depends on expected price of asset or commodity at the maturity date. According to this, theoretical futures pricing models try to find this expected price in order to use in the futures contract. So in this ar...
متن کاملA 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 pricing of marked-to-market contingent claims in a no-arbitrage economy
This paper assumes that the underlying asset prices are lognormally distributed, and derives necessary and su cient conditions for the valuation of options using a Black-Scholes type methodology. It is shown that the price of a futures-style, marked-to-market option is given by Black's formula if the pricing kernel is lognormally distributed. Assuming that this condition is ful lled, it is then...
