In an affine term structure framework with stochastic volatility, we derive the characteristic function of the log swap rate. Having the characteristic function, we employ Fast Fourier Techniques (FFT) to price swaptions. Using ten years of swap rates and swaption premiums, model parameters are...

In an affine term structure framework we propose a discrete time stochastic volatility model. We derive the characteristic function of the log swap rate under swap measure. Having the characteristic function, we employ the Fourier cosine (COS) technique to price swaptions. Using data on tweleve...

We extend upon the saddle-point equation presented in [1] to derive large-time model-implied volatility smiles, providing its theoretical foundation and studying its applications in classical models. As long as characteristic function fulfills a Lévy-type scaling behavior in large time, the...

In this paper we investigate the dynamics of Hong Kong cap-floor volatilities and compare their dynamics with the US cap-floor volatilities. We use linear and non-linear factor models and VAR's. The results show that the first principal components, both linear and non-linear, do a very good job...
