Algorithms behind Term Structure Models of Interest Rates I. Valuation and Hedging of Interest Rates Derivatives with the Ho-Lee Model
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article we implement the well-known Ho-Lee Model of the term structure of interest rates and describe the algorithm behind this model. After a brief discussion of interest rates and bonds we construct a binomial tree and show how to replicate any fixed income type security. This allows us to value any interest rate contingent claim by means of the replicating portfolio. We also discuss the problem of negative interest rates arising in this model and show how to calibrate the model to an observed set of bond prices.

Generalized Swap Market Model And the Valuation of Interest Rate Derivatives
In this paper we will establish a generalized Swap Market Model (GSMM) by unifying the stochastic process of swap rates with constant tenors under a single swap measure. GSMM is a natural extension of Libor Market Model (LMM) for swap rates, and LMM can be considered as a special case of GSMM since Libors is a special swap rate with the constant tenor of one period. GSMM can be applied for pric...

One of the most crucial and effective tools for macroeconomic policy-making, economic stabilization and growth is the interest rating. There are three different viewpoints about interest rating with their own specific reasoning behind. Some professionals support increasing the interest rates while some others support decreasing them and at the same time a third group advocate floating the inter...
متن کاملA Joint Framework for Consistently Pricing Interest Rates and Interest Rate Derivatives
Dynamic term structure models explain the yield curve variation well but perform poorly in pricing and hedging interest rate options. Most existing option pricing practices take the yield curve as given, thus having little to say about the fair valuation of the underlying interest rates. This paper proposes an m + n model structure that bridges the gap in the literature by successfully pricing ...
متن کاملA Systematic Approach to Pricing and Hedging of International Derivatives with Interest Rate Risk
The paper deals with the valuation and the hedging of non path-dependent European options on one or several underlying assets in a model of an international economy allowing for both, interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. Using martingale theory and in particular the change of numeraire technique we provide a unified and easily applicable approach to pricing and hedging exchange options on...
متن کاملThe Valuation of American Options with Stochastic Interest Rates: A Generalization of the Geske-Johnson Technique
The Geske-Johnson approach provides an e cient and intuitively appealing technique for the valuation and hedging of American-style contingent claims. Here, we generalize their approach to a stochastic-interest-rate economy. The method is implemented using options exercisable on one of a nite number of dates. We illustrate how the value of an American-style option increases with interest-rate vo...
