Download or read book The LIBOR Market Model in Practice written by Dariusz Gatarek and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-01-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The LIBOR Market Model (LMM) is the first model of interest rates dynamics consistent with the market practice of pricing interest rate derivatives and therefore it is widely used by financial institution for valuation of interest rate derivatives. This book provides a full practitioner's approach to the LIBOR Market Model. It adopts the specific language of a quantitative analyst to the largest possible level and is one of first books on the subject written entirely by quants. The book is divided into three parts - theory, calibration and simulation. New and important issues are covered, such as various drift approximations, various parametric and nonparametric calibrations, and the uncertain volatility approach to smile modelling; a version of the HJM model based on market observables and the duality between BGM and HJM models. Co-authored by Dariusz Gatarek, the 'G' in the BGM model who is internationally known for his work on LIBOR market models, this book offers an essential perspective on the global benchmark for short-term interest rates.
Download or read book Calibration and Parameterization Methods for the Libor Market Model written by Christoph Hackl and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-27 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Libor Market Model (LMM) is a mathematical model for pricing and risk management of interest rate derivatives and has been built on the framework of modelling forward rates. For the conceptual understanding of the model a strong background in the fields of mathematics, statistics, finance and especially for implementation, computer science is necessary. The book provides the ne cessary groundwork to understand the LMM and delivers a framework to implement a working model where possible calibration and parameterization methods for volatility and correlation are explained. Special emphasis lies also on the trade off of speed and correctness where differences in choosing random number generators and the advantages of factor reduction are shown.
Download or read book The SABR LIBOR Market Model written by Riccardo Rebonato and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a major innovation in the interest rate space. It explains a financially motivated extension of the LIBOR Market model which accurately reproduces the prices for plain vanilla hedging instruments (swaptions and caplets) of all strikes and maturities produced by the SABR model. The authors show how to accurately recover the whole of the SABR smile surface using their extension of the LIBOR market model. This is not just a new model, this is a new way of option pricing that takes into account the need to calibrate as accurately as possible to the plain vanilla reference hedging instruments and the need to obtain prices and hedges in reasonable time whilst reproducing a realistic future evolution of the smile surface. It removes the hard choice between accuracy and time because the framework that the authors provide reproduces today's market prices of plain vanilla options almost exactly and simultaneously gives a reasonable future evolution for the smile surface. The authors take the SABR model as the starting point for their extension of the LMM because it is a good model for European options. The problem, however with SABR is that it treats each European option in isolation and the processes for the various underlyings (forward and swap rates) do not talk to each other so it isn't obvious how to relate these processes into the dynamics of the whole yield curve. With this new model, the authors bring the dynamics of the various forward rates and stochastic volatilities under a single umbrella. To ensure the absence of arbitrage they derive drift adjustments to be applied to both the forward rates and their volatilities. When this is completed, complex derivatives that depend on the joint realisation of all relevant forward rates can now be priced.

Download or read book Cap and Swaption Approximations in Libor Market Models with Jumps written by Paul Glasserman and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops formulas for pricing caps and swaptions in LIBOR market models with jumps. The arbitrage-free dynamics of this class of models were characterized in Glasserman and Kou (1999) in a framework allowing for very general jump processes. For computational purposes, it is convenient to model jump times as Poisson processes; however, the Poisson property is not preserved under the changes of measure commonly used to derive prices in the LIBOR market model framework. In particular, jumps cannot be Poisson under both a forward measure and the spot measure, and this complicates pricing. To develop pricing formulas, we approximate the dynamics of a forward rate or swap rate using a scalar jump-diffusion process with time-varying parameters. We develop an exact formula for the price of an option on this jump-diffusion through explicit inversion of a Fourier transform. We then use this formula to price caps and swaptions by choosing the parameters of the scalar diffusion to approximate the arbitrage-free dynamics of the underlying forward or swap rate. We apply this method to two classes of models: one in which the jumps in all forward rates are Poisson under the spot measure, and one in which the jumps in each forward rate are Poisson under its associated forward measure. Numerical examples demonstrate the accuracy of the approximations.

Download or read book Modern Pricing of Interest Rate Derivatives written by Riccardo Rebonato and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2002-11-24 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, interest-rate modeling has developed rapidly in terms of both practice and theory. The academic and practitioners' communities, however, have not always communicated as productively as would have been desirable. As a result, their research programs have often developed with little constructive interference. In this book, Riccardo Rebonato draws on his academic and professional experience, straddling both sides of the divide to bring together and build on what theory and trading have to offer. Rebonato begins by presenting the conceptual foundations for the application of the LIBOR market model to the pricing of interest-rate derivatives. Next he treats in great detail the calibration of this model to market prices, asking how possible and advisable it is to enforce a simultaneous fitting to several market observables. He does so with an eye not only to mathematical feasibility but also to financial justification, while devoting special scrutiny to the implications of market incompleteness. Much of the book concerns an original extension of the LIBOR market model, devised to account for implied volatility smiles. This is done by introducing a stochastic-volatility, displaced-diffusion version of the model. The emphasis again is on the financial justification and on the computational feasibility of the proposed solution to the smile problem. This book is must reading for quantitative researchers in financial houses, sophisticated practitioners in the derivatives area, and students of finance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Economics - Monetary theory and policy, grade: 2.0, University of Frankfurt (Main), language: English, abstract: The goal of this thesis is to examine the LMM theoretically and apply practically to derivatives pricing. The input data structuring and calibration to market and historical data, implementing and pricing issues will be specifically investigated. This work begins with the comparison of the LMM to alternative interest rate models in chapter 2. A review of basic theory of the valuation of derivatives, which will be used in the next chapters, is presented in chapter 3. Theoretical description of the LMM is presented in the next chapter. Chapter 5 investigates several methods of calibrating directly to market cap and swaption prices. The way of obtaining the initial Libor yield curve is also summarized. In chapter 6 and 7 modeling of forward Libor rates volatility and correlation is presented. Hedging issues are to find in chapter 8. Chapter 9 covers pricing with the LMM by Monte Carlo simulations. This chapter presents the results of imple-menting the cascade calibration and of valuation of derivatives to illustrate the performance of the LMM. Finally the last chapter summarises and concludes the thesis.
Download or read book An Efficient Lattice Algorithm for the Libor Market Model written by Tim Xiao and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The LIBOR Market Model (LMM or BGM) has become one of the most popular models for pricing interest rate products. It is commonly believed that Monte-Carlo simulation is the only viable method available for the LIBOR Market Model. In this article, however, we propose a lattice (or tree) approach to price interest rate products within the LIBOR Market Model by introducing a shifted forward measure and several novel fast drift approximation methods. This model should achieve the best performance without losing much accuracy. Moreover, the calibration is almost automatic and it is simple and easy to implement. Adding this model to the valuation toolkit is actually quite useful; especially for risk management or in the case there is a need for a quick turnaround.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original Libor Market Model (LMM) has been extended to several dynamics (or local volatilities) for the underlying Libor rates. The main result presented here is a generic approximation that provides an explicit swaptions price for local volatilities LMM. The approximation is base on an initial freeze approximation very efficient in the Bond Market Model and a corrector or Runge-Kutta approach. The approximation is not done at the path level but at the global level for a given strike allowing a smile calibration. The approximation efficiency is analyzed in details in the displaced diffusion case; it is analyzed by comparison to precise Monte Carlo simulations.
Download or read book Libor Market Model written by Irina Götsch and published by VDM Publishing. This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Libor Market Model is a financial model used to price and hedge exotic interest rate derivatives. The model is accepted and used widely due to its consistence with the standard market formula, Black's cap (floor) formula. This compatibility simplifies the calibration because the Black's quoted prices for standard interest rate derivatives can be directly used as an input for the model. The goal of this book is to examine the Libor Market Model theoretically and apply it practically to the pricing of standard caps, discrete barriers, European swaptions and ratchets. The dynamic of the Libor Market Model will be derived and all steps of its implementation using Monte Carlo simulation will be explained. Implementation is fulfilled using different volatility and correlation structuring. Certain care should be taken when calibrating the Libor Market Model and structuring the forward rate volatilities and correlations as they may affect prices of interest rate derivatives considerably. The book is aimed at graduate students of finance and practitioners implementing this model in practice.

Book excerpt: This paper presents a critical review of the different versions of the LIBOR market model (LMM). Based on the new taxonomy of the term structure models (see Nawalkha, Beliaeva, and Soto [2007a, 2007b]) the typical application of the LMM are shown to triple-plus type, exposing these to the dangers of “smoothing.” This paper also derives a double-plus version of Jarrow, Li, and Zhao's (JLZ) [2007] LMM model with stochastic volatility and jumps, which is less exposed to the dangers of “smoothing” compared with the original triple-plus version of this model. Finally, this paper makes a persuasive case for considering high-dimensional double-plus term structure models in the affine and quadratic classes. Fast computational methods make these models powerful alternatives to the LMM for valuing and hedging interest rate derivatives.
