We introduce the class of linear-rational term structure models in which the state price density is modeled such that bond prices become linear-rational functions of the factors. This class is highly tractable with several distinct advantages: i) ensures nonnegative interest rates, ii) easily...

We study American swaptions in the linear-rational (LR) term structure model introduced. The American swaption pricing problem boils down to an optimal stopping problem that is analytically tractable. It reduces to a free-boundary problem that we tackle by the local time-space calculus. We...

We develop a novel contract design, the fed funds futures (FFF) variance futures, which reflects the expected realized basis point variance of an underlying FFF rate. The valuation of short-term FFF variance futures is completely model-independent in a general setting that includes the cases...

This study deals with the pricing and hedging of inflation-indexed bonds. Under foreign exchange analogy we model the … for the factor process. Then, we perform a novel hedging analysis where our objective is to replicate an indexed bond of a … given maturity by trading a portfolio of nominal bonds. This analysis leads to a hedging criterion based on a set of …

We consider the problem of option hedging in a market with proportional transaction costs. Since super-replication is … very costly in such markets, we replace perfect hedging with an expected loss constraint. Asymptotic analysis for small …

We develop alternative models for hedging yield curve risk and test them by hedging US Treasury bond portfolios through … hedging quality. Also, this quality varies from one test case to the other, so that a clear ranking of the models is not … possible. We show that accounting for the variance of modeling errors substantially reduces both hedging errors and transaction …
