In this paper we develop a single-factor modeling framework which is consistent with market observable forward prices and volatilities. The model is a special case of the multi-factor model developed in Clewlow and Strickland [1999b] and leads to analytical pricing formula for standard options,...

For many interest rate exotic options, for example options on the slope of the yield curve or American featured options, a one factor assumption for term structure evolution is inappropriate. These options derive their value from changes in the slope or curvature of the yield curve and hence are...

Using a newly available panel data set containing property-specific, time-varying hedonic characteristics and sales prices, we develop a new dynamic house-price model that is suitable for out-of-sample forecasting applications such as mortgage valuation and bank stress-testing. The model is set...
