We investigate valuation of derivatives with payoff defined as a nonlinear though close to linear function of tradable underlying assets. Interest rate derivatives involving Libor or swap rates in arrears, i.e. rates paid at wrong time, are a typical example. It is generally tempting to replace...

We formulate a bivariate stochastic volatility jump-diffusion model with correlated jumps and volatilities. An MCMC Metropolis-Hastings sampling algorithm is proposed to estimate the model´s parameters and latent state variables (jumps and stochastic volatilities) given observed returns. The...
