On the joint calibration of the Libor market model to caps and swaptions market volatilities

چکیده
In this paper we consider several parametric assumptions for the instantaneous covariance structure of the Libor market model. We examine the impact of each different parameterization on the evolution of the term structure of volatilities in time, on terminal correlations and on the joint calibration to the caps and swaptions markets. We present a number of cases of calibration in the Euro market. In particular, we consider calibration via a parameterization establishing a controllable one to one correspondence between instantaneous covariance parameters and swaptions volatilities, and assess the benefits of smoothing the input swaption matrix before calibrating.

Different Covariance Parameterizations of the Libor Market Model and Joint Caps/Swaptions Calibration
In this paper we consider several parametric assumptions for the instantaneous covariance structure of the Libor market model. We examine the impact of each different parameterization on the evolution of the term structure of volatilities in time, on terminal correlations and on the joint calibration to the caps and swaptions markets. We present a number of cases of calibration in the Euro mark...
متن کاملCalibration of LIBOR models to caps and swaptions: a way around intrinsic instabilities via parsimonious structures and a collateral market criterion
We expose an intrinsic stability problem in joint calibration of a LIBOR market model to caps and swaptions by direct least squares calibration. This problem typically encounters if one tries to identify jointly the volatility norm behaviour and the correlation structure of the forward LIBORs. As a remedy we propose collateral incorporation of a 'Market Swaption Formula', a rule-of-thumb formul...
متن کاملCalibration of the LIBOR market model - implementation in PREMIA∗
This paper reviews the BGM model for the parameterization of LIBOR forward interest rate curves, and presents a C++ implementation in PREMIA of the calibration algorithm of [7] using the market prices of caps and swaptions in this model.
متن کاملNew developments on the analytical cascade swaption calibration of the Libor Market Model
In this work we focus on the swaptions “second-order automatic cascade calibration” methodology for the Libor Market Model (LMM), first appeared in Brigo and Mercurio (2001). Such analytical calibration induces a direct correspondence between swaption market volatilities and LMM volatility parameters. We present the basic algorithm and a possible extension, pointing out its main features and so...
متن کاملArbitrage-free discretization of lognormal forward Libor and swap rate models
An important recent development in the pricing of interest rate derivatives is the emergence of models that incorporate lognormal volatilities for forward Libor or forward swap rates while keeping interest rates stable. These market models have three attractive features: they preclude arbitrage among bonds, they keep rates positive, and, most distinctively, they price caps or swaptions accordin...
