We focus on two particular aspects of model risk: the inability of a chosen model to fit observed market prices at a given point in time (calibration error) and the model risk due to the recalibration of model parameters (in contradiction to the model assumptions). In this context, we use...

The class of forward-LIBOR market models can, under certain volatility structures, produce unrealistically high long-dated forward rates, particularly for maturities and tenors beyond the liquid market calibration instruments. This paper presents a diagnostic tool for analysing the quantiles of...

Contracts paying a guaranteed minimum rate of return and a fraction of a positive excess rate, whichis specified relative to a benchmark portfolio, are closely related to unit-linked life-insurance productsand can be considered as alternatives to direct investment in the underlying benchmark....

The paper proposes a new approach to model risk measurement based on the Wasserstein distance between two probability measures. It formulates the theoretical motivation resulting from the interpretation of fictitious adversary of robust risk management. The proposed approach accounts for all...
