Approximate Derivative Pricing for Large Class ofHomogeneous Assets

Gagliardini, Patrick; Gourieroux, Christian - Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research North … - 2008

We consider an homogeneous class of assets, whose returns are driven by an unobservablefactor. We derive approximated prediction and pricing formulas for the future factorvalues and their proxies, when the size n of the class is large. Up to order 1=n, these approximationsinvolve solely...

Pricing Bermudan Swaptions in a Stochastic-Volatility LIBOR Market Model

Valchev, Stoyan; Matache, Ana-Maria - Institut für Schweizerisches Bankwesen <Zürich>; … - 2004

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...

Convexity Adjustments and Forward Libor Model: Case of Constant Maturity Swaps

Lu, Yinqiu; Neftci, Salih - Institut für Schweizerisches Bankwesen <Zürich>; … - 2003

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 …

Schoenbucher, Phillip J. - Institut für Schweizerisches Bankwesen <Zürich>; … - 2003

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...
