In this paper we look at two areas in the interest rate options market where arbitrage could be hiding. In the first section we derive a no-arbitrage condition for swaption prices with complementary expiry dates and tenors within the swaption cube. In the second section we propose an alternative...

We construct realistic equity option market simulators based on generative adversarial networks (GANs). We consider recurrent and temporal convolutional architectures, and assess the impact of state compression. Option market simulators are highly relevant because they allow us to extend the...

Although typically overlooked, many purchase datasets exhibit a high incidence of products with zero sales. We propose a new estimator for the Random-Coefficients Logit demand system for purchase datasets with zero-valued market shares. The identification of the demand parameters is based on a...

The modeling of tenor basis spreads is of central importance to CVA for tenor basis swaps. Such spreads are typically positive, suggesting a natural lower bound. We introduce a multi- curve Cheyette-style model with lower bounds enforced through level dependence in spread volatilities. The model...

As a preliminary study of the effect of return and sampling on chaos and stochastic data pattern, this research tests chaos pattern by using Henon attractor as a sample of two-dimensional discrete chaos data with an assumption that economic and finance data are generated by low dimensional chaos...

We perform a historical analysis of selected rough volatility models to the SPX market. Tailoring the neural network pricing method of [27] to our needs, we train neural networks for the rough Heston model from [14], the rough Bergomi model from [4] as well as an extended version of the latter....

The financial technology revolution is a reality, as the financial world is gradually transforming into a digital domain of high-volume information and high-speed data transformation and processing. The more this transformation takes place, the more consumer and investor behaviour shifts towards...

To price mid-curve or spread options we need flexible joint distributions of two underlying rates with fixed marginals. A Copula approach is a standard method to produce such joint distributions.It has, however, several drawbacks, especially, a low number of free parameters. For example, the...

This paper proposes a simple and crude way of approximating the XVA sensitivities. In short, the idea is simply to recycle the existing base simulated portfolio values for the bumped ones. This is done by re-simulating the risk factors for the bumped market and finding out which other base state...
