We investigate the existence of affine realizations for interest rate term structure models driven by Levy processes. Using as numeraire the growth optimal portfolio, we model the interest rate term structure under the real-world probability measure, and hence, we do not need the existence of an...

In this paper, we introduce an extension to the LIBOR Market model that is suitable to incorporate both sudden market shocks as well as changes in the overall economic climate into the interest rate dynamics. This is achieved by substituting the simple diffusion process of the original LIBOR...

A Markovian Projection is investigated for the Local Stochastic Volatility Libor Market Model. An approximation based on the Log Normal process is introduced. In this approximation, the Markovian Projection is fitted to the CEV model rather than to Displaced Diffusion. The relationship with a...

This paper considers pricing of European-style vulnerable options under the Heston stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rate model in which the mean-reversion levels of both variance and interest rate processes are modulated by a continuous-time Markov process with a finite state space....

Over the last decade, dividends have become a standalone asset class instead of a mere side product of an equity investment. We introduce a framework based on polynomial jump-diffusions to jointly price the term structures of dividends and interest rates. Prices for dividend futures, bonds, and...

Does modelling stochastic interest rates, beyond stochastic volatility, improve pricing performanceon long-dated commodity derivatives? To answer this question, we consider futuresprice models for commodity derivatives that allow for stochastic volatility and stochastic interestrates and a...
