The objective of this paper is to consider defaultable term structure models in a general setting beyond standard risk-neutral models. Using as numeraire the growth optimal portfolio, defaultable interest rate derivatives are priced under the real-world probability measure. Therefore, the...

As interest rate benchmarks move from LIBOR to overnight Risk-Free Rates (RFR), it has become increasingly important for models to accurately capture the interest rate dynamics at the overnight tenor. Overnight rates closely track central bank policy rate decisions resulting, in highly...

Does modelling stochastic interest rates, beyond stochastic volatility, improve pricing performanceon long-dated commodity derivatives? To answer this question, we consider futuresprice models for commodity derivatives that allow for stochastic volatility and stochastic interestrates and a...

Two-market anomalies since the 2008 global financial crisis – the widespread failure of covered interest parity (CIP) in foreign exchange swaps and negative 30-year US dollar interest rate swap-Treasury spreads have been challenging for conventional asset pricing models. Using a three-factor...

The phenomenon of the frequency basis (i.e. a spread applied to one leg of a swap to exchange one floating interest rate for another of a di fferent tenor in the same currency) contradicts textbook no-arbitrage conditions and has become an important feature of interest rate markets since the...

Explicitly taking into account the risk incurred when borrowing at a shorter tenor versus lending at a longer tenor ("roll-over risk"), we construct a stochastic model framework for the term structure of interest rates in which a frequency basis (i.e. a spread applied to one leg of a swap to...

This paper presents a benchmarking model for validation of default probabilities of listed companies for Basel II purposes. The model is based on the recent studies on the predictive capability of structural credit risk models. Benchmark ratings and one-year default probabilities are assigned to...

Using interest rate derivative market prices, this paper derives the term structure of the LIBOR-overnight index swap (OIS) spread, which is considered as the funding liquidity risk premium, following the Cox–Ingersoll–Ross model. The probability density functions of the LIBOR-OIS spread...

This paper studies the discriminatory power and calibration quality of the structural credit risk models under the 'exogenous default boundary' approach including those proposed by Longstaff and Schwartz (1995) and Collin-Dufresne and Goldstein (2001), and 'endogenous default boundary' approach...
