In this paper we propose a jump diffusion type model which recovers the main characteristics of electricity spot price dynamics, including seasonality, mean reversion, and spiky behavior. Calibration of the market price of risk allows for pricing of Asian-type options written on the spot...

Leveraging the explicit formula for European swaptions and coupon-bond options in HJM one-factor model, we develop a semi-explicit formula for 2-Bermudan options (also called Canary options). We first extend the European swaption formula to future times. We are able to reduce the valuation of a...

Australian dollar bills futures are very particular, not only on the valuation at expiry but also for the maturity delivery option and the credit delivery option. This note consider only the interest rate part of the futures (marginning and maturity delivery option). An explicit formula for the...

Credit risk models like Moody’s KMV are now well established in the market and give bond managers reliable estimates of default probabilities for individual firms. Until now it has been hard to relate those probabilities to the actual credit spreads observed on the market for corporate bonds....

The security dynamics described by the Black-Scholes equation with price-dependent variance can be approximated as a damped discrete-time hopping process on a recombining binomial tree. In a previous working paper, such a nonuniform tree was explicitly constructed in terms of the continuous-time...
