We can limit the future temperature impact of climate change in two ways: (i) reducing our use of CO2 emitting fuels as an energy source (abatement), and (ii) using negative emission technologies (NETs) to remove existing CO2 from the atmosphere (removal). Using a modification of the DICE model,...

We investigate the pricing performance of eight trinomial trees and one binomial tree, which was found to be most effective in an earlier study, under 20 different implementation methodologies for pricing American put options. We conclude that the binomial tree, the Tian third‐order...

We develop an efficient algorithm to implement the adjoint method that computes sensitivities of an interest rate derivative to different underlying rates in the co-terminal swap-rate market model. The order of computation per step of the new method is shown to be proportional to the number of...

We develop a new method for finding upper bounds for Bermudan swaptions in a swap-rate market model. By comparing with lower bounds found by exercise boundary parametrization, we find that the bounds are well within bid-offer spread. As an application, we study the dependence of Bermudan...

We introduce a new calibration methodology that allows perfect fitting of the displaced diffusion LIBOR market model to caplets and co-terminal swaptions, whilst avoiding global optimizations. The approach works by regarding a forward rate as a difference of swap rates and then bootstrapping...

We present an extension of the LIBOR market model which allows for stochastic instantaneous volatilities of the forward rates in a displaced-diffusion setting. We show that virtually all the powerful and important approximations that apply in the deterministic setting can be successfully and...
