We give a complete characterization of affine term structure models based on a general nonnegative Markov short rate process.
This applies to the classical CIR model but includes as well short rate processes with jumps. We provide a link to the theory
of branching processes and show how CBI-processes naturally enter the field of term structure modelling. Using Markov semigroup
theory we exploit the full structure behind an affine term structure model and provide a deeper understanding of some well-known
properties of the CIR model. Based on these fundamental results we construct a new short rate model with jumps, which extends
the CIR model and still gives closed form expressions for bond options.

We study the convexity and model parameter monotonicity properties for prices of bonds and bond options when the short rate
is modeled by a diffusion process. We provide sharp conditions on the model parameters under which the convexity of the price
in the short rate is guaranteed. Under these conditions, the price is decreasing in the drift and increasing in the volatility
of the short rate. We also study the convexity properties of the logarithm of the price and find simple conditions on the
coefficients that guarantee that the price is log-convex or log-concave.

Several studies that have investigated a few stocks have found that the spacing between consecutive financial transactions
(referred to as trade duration) tend to exhibit long-range dependence, heavy tailedness, and clustering. In this study, we
empirically investigate whether a larger sample of stocks exhibit those characteristics. We do so by comparing goodness of
fit in modeling trade duration data for stable distribution and fractional stable noise based on a procedure applying bootstrap
methods developed by the authors with several alternative distributional assumptions in modeling trade duration data. The
empirical results suggest that the autoregressive conditional duration model with stable distribution fits better than other
combinations, while fractional stable noise itself fits better for the time series of trade duration. Our result is consistent
with the general findings in the literature that trade duration is informative and that short trade durations move prices
more than long trade duration. In addition, our result confirms the advantage of fractal models in the study of roughness
in trade duration and provides some evidence for duration dependence.

Using both daily and monthly data, the authors: (a) analyse the extra-market component of foreign exchange exposure of the Australian equities market using the Australian/US exchange rate factor return in an augmented market model; and (b) use a dummy variable specification to model the potential asymmetric effect induced by non-linear hedging strategies, such as using currency options, for the period 1988–1996. Overall, the results are mixed. The following are found: (i) stronger evidence of foreign exchange exposure in the analysis employing daily data; (ii) when using daily data, a stronger lagged response than a contemporaneous response is observed; (iii) some evidence of asymmetry; and (iv) evidence of significant exchange rate exposures of the predicted sign in several industries. Further, the findings using monthly data are less significant than those using daily data. 相似文献

We present a numerical method to price bonds that have multiple embedded options with an emphasis on the case with both long call and short put options. The valuation framework is a one-factor model for the term structure of interest rates, where the instantaneous interest rate is allowed to follow a fairly general stochastic process. The equilibrium interest rates that define the free boundaries for the embedded call and put options are given. We demonstrate the survival zone within which a bond with both long call and short put options remains afloat. We show that even moderate levels of transaction costs can have a significant effect on exercise of options. 相似文献

In this paper, we propose a heteroskedastic model in discrete time which converges, when the sampling interval goes to zero, towards the complete model with stochastic volatility in continuous time described in Hobson and Rogers (1998). Then, we study its stationarity and moment properties. In particular, we exhibit a specific model which shares many properties with the GARCH(1,1) model, establishing a clear link between the two approaches. We also prove the consistency of the pseudo conditional likelihood maximum estimates for this specific model.Received: December 2002Mathematics Subject Classification:

We suggest two new fast and accurate methods, the fast Wiener–Hopf (FWH) method and the iterative Wiener–Hopf (IWH) method,
for pricing barrier options for a wide class of Lévy processes. Both methods use the Wiener–Hopf factorization and the fast
Fourier transform algorithm. We demonstrate the accuracy and fast convergence of both methods using Monte Carlo simulations
and an accurate finite difference scheme, compare our results with those obtained by the Cont–Voltchkova method, and explain
the differences in prices near the barrier.

In a discrete time stationary setting we derive explicit formulas for the value of a coupon paying defaultable credit contract
with stochastic recovery. The pricing method is based on a perfect replication argument using simple 1-period insurance contracts.

While standard real options models assume that agents possess a constant rate of time preference, there is substantial evidence that agents are impatient about choices in the short term but are patient when choosing between long-term alternatives. We extend the real options framework to model the investment-timing decisions of entrepreneurs with time-inconsistent preferences. The impact on investment-timing depends on such factors as whether entrepreneurs are sophisticated or naive in their expectations regarding their future time-inconsistent behavior, and whether the payoff from investment occurs all at once or over time. The model is extended to the case of a competitive equilibrium. 相似文献

We extend the quadratic approximation method to examine American‐style options traded using futures‐style margining and show that an early exercise premium can exist when the cost of carry is negative. Empirical results based on a reduced form of the model using futures‐style call options traded on the Australian All Ordinaries Share Price Index are consistent with previous research: call option early exercise premiums are economically zero. Full option prices are examined by comparing observed futures‐style with theoretical stock‐style values. We find futures‐style values exceed stock‐style values and argue that the increase results from improvements in liquidity. The findings are particularly relevant given the pending decision at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to introduce a futures‐style system in the United States.

We develop a flexible and analytically tractable framework which unifies the valuation of corporate liabilities, credit derivatives, and equity derivatives. We assume that the stock price follows a diffusion, punctuated by a possible jump to zero (default). To capture the positive link between default and equity volatility, we assume that the hazard rate of default is an increasing affine function of the instantaneous variance of returns on the underlying stock. To capture the negative link between volatility and stock price, we assume a constant elasticity of variance (CEV) specification for the instantaneous stock volatility prior to default. We show that deterministic changes of time and scale reduce our stock price process to a standard Bessel process with killing. This reduction permits the development of completely explicit closed form solutions for risk-neutral survival probabilities, CDS spreads, corporate bond values, and European-style equity options. Furthermore, our valuation model is sufficiently flexible so that it can be calibrated to exactly match arbitrarily given term structures of CDS spreads, interest rates, dividend yields, and at-the-money implied volatilities. 相似文献

In this paper we describe a two-factor model for a defaultable discount bond, assuming log-normal dynamics with bounded volatility for the instantaneous short rate spread. Under some simplified hypothesis, we obtain an explicit barrier-type solution for zero recovery and constant recovery. We also present a numerical application for Argentinean and Brazilian Sovereign Bonds during the default crisis of Argentina.JEL Classification: G 13 相似文献
