Pricing of non-redundant derivatives in a complete market
Jouini, Elyès; Bizid, Abdelhamid; Koehl, Pierre-François - Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) - 1999
We consider a complete financial market with primitive assets and derivatives on these primitive assets. Nevertheless, the derivative assets are non-redundant in the market, in the sense that the market is complete, only with their existence. In such a framework, we derive an equilibrium...

Estimating the implied distribution of the future short term interest rate using the Longstaff-Schwartz model
Hördahl, Peter - 2000
This paper proposes the use of the two-factor term-structure model of Longstaff and Schwartz (1992a, LS) to estimate the risk-neutral density (RND) of the future short-term interest rate. The resulting RND can be interpreted as the market's estimate of the density of the future short-term...

A two-factor model of the German term structure of interest rates
Barros Luís, Jorge; Cassola, Nuno - 2001
In this paper we show that a two-factor constant volatility model provides an adequate description of the dynamics and shape of the German term structure of interest rates from 1972 up to 1998. The model also provides reasonable estimates of the volatility and term premium curves. Following the...

Equity and bond market signals as leading indicators of bank fragility
Gropp, Reint E.; Vesala, Jukka; Vulpes, Giuseppe - 2002
We analyse the ability of the distance-to-default and bond spreads to signal bank fragility. We show that both indicators are complete and unbiased and that spreads are non-linear in the probability of bank default. We empirically test these properties in a sample of EU banks. We find leading...
