Interest rate benchmarks are currently undergoing a major transition. The LIBOR benchmark is planned to be discontinued by the end of 2021 and superseded by what ISDA calls an adjusted risk-free rate (RFR). ISDA has recently announced that the LIBOR replacement will most likely be constructed...

We propose an approach for the dynamical estimation of initial margins. We determine initial margins at future points in time by computing a risk measure of the modelled price increment over a margin period of risk. As an example, we produce the initial margin process for interest rate swap...

Based on a stylised financial system along with a systemic perspective thereof, we consider the structure of an aggregated banking system that is vulnerable to liquidity risks. Within this setup, a consistent mathematical modelling framework for term interest rate systems is derived that enables...
