This paper sets up an options-based model of the exchange rate in a target-zone system, according to which the observed … exchange rate is equivalent to a floating exchange rate adjusted to the value of two options. The strike prices of the options … are the limits of the band, but the two options are interrelated, which complicates valuation of them. Within that …

This paper provides an exact and computable invariant currency value index (ICVI) which is independent of base currency choice. Thus, given a 1xed set of currencies, the index of a currency will have the same value, regardless of base currency choice. This currency index can be used as an...

In 1990, the Deutschemark replaced the Ost-Mark as the sole legal in East Germany. The choice of a common money - instead of a continuation of two separate monetary systems - reflected, in large measure, political rather than economic considerations. This sentiment was encapsulated in the...

We investigate the suitability of sparse grids for solving high-dimensional option pricing and interest rate models numerically. Starting from the partial differential equation, we try to - at least partially - break the curse of dimensionality through sparse grids which will result from a...

We propose a numerical procedure for the pricing of financial contracts whose contingent claims are exposed to two sources of risk: the stock price and the short interest rate. More precisely, in our pricing framework we assume that the stock price dynamics is described by the Cox, Ross...
