We analyze the connections between the credit spreads that the same credit risk commands in different currencies. We show that the empirically observed differences in these credit spreads are mostly driven by the dependency between the default risk of the obligor and the exchange rate. In our...

We study probabilities which determine the payo of barrier options:the probability that an asset hits a barrier before maturity, theprobability that the asset is below the barrier at maturity, and theratio of both probabilities. The correct estimation of these probabilitieshas crucial eects on...

This paper introduces a time-inhomogeneous parameterization of the forward LIBOR volatilities and analyzes its implications for the valuation of Bermudan swaptions. The model approximates the actual term structure of volatilities with a curve from a given set defined by the parametric...

Interest rate derivatives are among the most actively traded financial instruments in the main currency areas. With values of positions reacting immediately to the underlying index of daily interbank rates, manipulation has become an increasing challenge for the operational implementation of...

difference (spread) between the two-period CMS swap rates calcu-lated by convexity adjustment and Forward Libor Model. The spread … 0.8750 and 0.7939, respectively. Moreover,convexity adjustment yields CMS swap rates higher than Forward Libor Modeldoes …. Since the pricing using Forward Libor Model would be exact, we concludethat the convexity adjustment overestimates CMS swap …

In this note the pricing of options on credit default swaps using the survival-measure -pricing technique is discussed. In particular, we derive amodification of the famous Black (1976) futures pricing formula which appliesto options on CDS, and show how other pricing formulae can be easily...
