Dual Swap and Swaption Formulae in the Normal and Lognormal Models
نویسنده
چکیده
When the Gaussian HJM model is recast in terms of simple forwards, it becomes dual to the LogNormal Forward model in the sense that for almost every formula in one model there is a similar formula in the other which can be obtained by simple transformation or substitution.

Lognormal Random Eld Approximations to Libor Market Models
We study several approximations for the LIBOR market models presented in 1, 2, 5]. Special attention is payed to log-normal approximations and their simulation by using direct simulation methods for log-normal random elds. In contrast to the conventional numerical solution of SDE's this approach simulates the solution directly at the desired point and is therefore much more eecient. We carry ou...
متن کاملModels of Forward LIBOR and Swap Rates
The backward induction approach is systematically used to produce various models of forward market rates. These include the lognormal model of forward LIBOR rates examined in Miltersen et al. (1997) and Brace et al. (1997), as well as the lognormal model of ((xed-maturity) forward swap rates proposed by Jamshidian (1996, 1997). The valuation formulae for European caps and swaptions are given. I...
متن کاملHedging in the Possible Presence of Unspanned Stochastic Volatility: Evidence from Swaption Markets∗
This paper examines whether higher order multifactor models, with state variables linked solely to the full set of underlying LIBOR-swap rates, are by themselves capable of explaining and hedging interest rate derivatives, or whether models explicitly exhibiting features such as unspanned stochastic volatility are necessary. Our research shows that swaptions and even swaption straddles can be w...
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...
متن کاملBounding Bermudan Swaptions in a Swap-rate Market Model
We develop a new method for finding upper bounds for Bermudan swaptions in a swap-rate market model. By comparing with lower bounds found by exercise boundary parametrization, we find that the bounds are well within bid-offer spread. As an application, we study the dependence of Bermudan swaption prices on the number of instantaneous factors used in the model. We also establish an equivalence w...
