An exchange option, also called “Margrabe option”, gives the right, but not the obligation to exchange an asset for another asset. In a recent paper in the Encyclopedia of Quantitative Finance (2010), Professor Rolf Poulsen writes that “[t]he Margrabe formula is still valid with stochastic...

The Gaussian affine interest rate models are widely used in the financial industry for pricing, hedging and also risk management purposes. We consider the multifactor models with time dependent parameters. Usually the models are simulated using some appropriate discretization schema because the...

This paper examines the lognormality assumption of per capita, real consumption growth, which is a common assumption in asset pricing models. We found that shocks to household consumption growth are persistent, negatively skewed, and have excess kurtosis. Therefore, we revisited the fundamental...

This paper deals with issues related to the choice of the interest rate model to price interest rate derivatives. After the development of the market models, choosing the interest rate model has become almost a trivial task. However, their use is not always possible, so that the problem of...
