Aiming to study pricing of long-dated commodity derivatives, this paper presents a class of models within the Heath, Jarrow, and Morton (1992) framework for commodity futures prices that incorporates stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rate and allows a correlation structure between...

Although the effect of interest rate stochasticity can safely be ignored for short-dated exchange traded volatility derivatives, this is not the case for the kind of long-dated OTC derivatives often used by insurance companies and other financial institutions. We therefore extend existing...

I document a sizeable bias that might arise when valuing out of the money American options via the Least Square Method proposed by Longstaff and Schwartz (2001). The key point of this algorithm is the regression-based estimate of the continuation value of an American option. If this regression...

This paper presents a simulation study of hedging long-dated futures options, in the Rabinovitch (1989) model which assumes correlated dynamics between spot asset prices and interest rates. Under this model and when the maturity of the hedging instruments match the maturity of the option,...

We develop a tractable and flexible stochastic volatility multi-factor model of the term structure of interest rates. It features correlations between innovations to forward rates and volatilities, quasi-analytical prices of zero-coupon bond options and dynamics of the forward rate curve, under...

"It is a fairly complete introduction accessible to advanced undergraduates; Also covers more advanced aspects of interest rate modeling; Includes many graphs and code illustrating the modeling of interest rates; Each chapter is accompanied with exercises and their complete solutions."
