volatility/diffusion term is stochastic in the sense of being driven by a separate hidden Markov process. Within this framework … conditions for the existence of a finite dimensional Markovian realizations for the stochastic volatility models. We illustrate … the theory by analyzing a number of concrete examples. -- HJM models ; stochastic volatility ; factor models ; forward …

We develop a structural bond pricing approach and implement it on a large panel of US industrial bonds using an efficient maximum likelihood methodology. We evaluate the model's ability to predict yield spread levels and changes out-of-sample. Errors are smaller and distinctly less variable than...

This paper analyzes how bond option prices are affected by different types of monetary policy. Analytical results from a general equilibrium model with sticky wages show that employment or output targeting typically give lower bond option prices than inflation targeting. -- inflation targeting ;...

since a volatility constraint on the stochastic discount factor is a particular case of a restriction on this distance. We …

In this paper we discuss the significant computational simplification that occurs when option pricing is approached through the change of numeraire technique. The original impetus was a recently published paper (Hoang, Powell, Shi 1999) on endowment options; in the present paper we extend these...

In this paper we discuss the pricing of commercial real estate index linked swaps (CREILS). This particular pricing problem has been studied by Buttimer et al. (1997) in a previous paper. We show that their results are only approximately correct and that the true theoretical price of the swap is...
