Pricing CMS spreads in the Libor market model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present two approximation methods for pricing of CMS spread options in Libor market models. Both approaches are based on approximating the underlying swap rates with lognormal processes under suitable measures. The rst method is derived straightforwardly from the Libor market model. The second one uses a convexity adjustment technique under a linear swap model assumption. A numerical study demonstrates that both methods provide satisfactory approximations of spread option prices and can be used for calibration of a Libor market model to the CMS spread option market.

A Libor Market Model with Default Risk
In this paper a new credit risk model for credit derivatives is presented. The model is based upon the ‘Libor market’ modelling framework for default-free interest rates. We model effective default-free forward rates and effective forward credit spreads as lognormal diffusion processes, and recovery is modelled as a fraction of the par value of the defaulted claim. The newly introduced survival...
متن کاملGeneric market models
Currently, there are two market models for valuation and risk management of interest rate derivatives, the LIBOR and swap market models. In this paper, we introduce arbitrage-free constant maturity swap (CMS) market models and generic market models featuring forward rates that span periods other than the classical LIBOR and swap periods. We develop generic expressions for the drift terms occurr...
متن کاملThe Lévy Libor model with default risk
In this paper we present a model for the dynamic evolution of the term structure of default-free and defaultable interest rates. The model is set in the Libor market model framework but in contrast to the classical diffusion-driven setup, its dynamics are driven by a time-inhomogeneous Lévy process which allows us to better capture the real-world dynamics of credit spreads. We present necessary...
متن کاملAffine LIBOR Models with Multiple Curves: Theory, Examples and Calibration
We introduce a multiple curve framework that combines tractable dynamics and semianalytic pricing formulas with positive interest rates and basis spreads. Negative rates and positive spreads can also be accommodated in this framework. The dynamics of overnight indexed swap and LIBOR rates are specified following the methodology of the affine LIBOR models and are driven by the wide and flexible ...
متن کاملKooderive: Multi-core Graphics Cards, the Libor Market Model, Least-squares Monte Carlo and the Pricing of Cancellable Swaps
We discuss the pricing of cancellable swaps using the displaced diffusion LIBOR market model using a multi-core graphics card. We demonstrate that over one hundred times speed up can be achieved in a realistic case.
