We characterize the behavior of volatility across the term structure of interest rate swaps in three currencies (Deutsche mark, Japanese yen and US Dollar)

The behaviour of volatility across the term structure of interest rate swaps is characterized in three currencies (Deutsche mark, Japanese yen and US dollar). For that purpose, a modified GARCH-in mean model is used allowing for seasonal patterns in the mean and variance of interest rates and...

In this paper we present a local refinement algorithm based on the longest-edge trisection of triangles. Local trisection patterns are used to generate a conforming triangulation, depending on the number of non-conforming nodes per edge presented. We describe the algorithm and provide a study of...

We test whether different rating announcements contain pricing-relevant information and modify trading activity patterns in the Spanish corporate debt markets. We observe a significant widening of yield spreads in short- and long-term corporate debt after reviews of downgrades and negative...
