We present a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) parallelization of the computation of the price of exotic cross-currency interest rate derivatives via a Partial Differential Equation (PDE) approach. In particular, we focus on the GPU-based parallel pricing of long-dated foreign exchange (FX)...

I study the relationship between interest rates and interest-rate volatility, particularly the idea of unspanned stochastic volatility (USV): volatility risk that cannot be hedged with bonds or swaps. Simulated data is used to assess the ability of regression-based techniques, popular but...

The pricing of the European cash-settled swaptions is analysed. The standard market formula results are compared to results obtained from different models. Significant discrepancies are observed, justifying the title

The Libor Market Model (LMM) describes the evolution of a yield curve through equations for a discrete set of forward rates. In the original version, the rate dynamic was log-normal. The rate dynamic has been extended. The main result presented here is a generic approximation that provides an...

We model the dynamics of asset prices and associated derivatives by considerationof the dynamics of the conditional probability density process for the value of an assetat some specied time in the future. In the case where the asset is driven by Brownianmotion, an associated \master equation"...

We investigate the relationship between the gas spot market and the price of gas storage capacity. Contrary to the common belief, the auction prices for gas storage are mostly affected by the volatility of current market prices rather than by the winter-summer price differences. This paper...

The Heston model is one of the most popular stochastic volatility models for Equity and FX modelling. Although it was developed more than fifteen years ago, its understanding is still not complete and many recent publications have addressed deep theoretical and implementation issues. We review...

In this paper we study the pricing and hedging of options on realized variance in the 3/2 non-affine stochastic volatility model, by developing efficient transform based pricing methods. This non-affine model gives prices of options on realized variance which allow upward sloping implied...

This paper shows that Singleton and Umantsev (2002)'s method for swaption pricing in affine models can be simplified and extended to other models. Two alternative methods for approximating the option exercise boundary are introduced: one based on the multivariate Taylor series expansion, and the...
