FORWARD RATE VOLATILITIES, SWAP RATE VOLATILITIES, AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LIBOR MARKET MODEL [PDF]
This paper presents a number of new ideas concerned with the implementation of the LIBOR market model and its extensions. It develops and tests an analytic approximation for calculating the volatilities used by the market to price European swap options ...

Discretely sampled variance and volatility swaps versus their continuous approximations [PDF]
Discretely sampled variance and volatility swaps trade actively in OTC markets. To price these swaps, the continuously sampled approximation is often used to simplify the computations. The purpose of this paper is to study the conditions under which this approximation is valid.

Target volatility option pricing in lognormal fractional SABR model [PDF]
We examine in this article the pricing of target volatility options in the lognormal fractional SABR model. A decomposition formula by Ito's calculus yields a theoretical replicating strategy for the target volatility option, assuming the accessibilities of all variance swaps and swaptions.

AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE LINKAGES BETWEEN EURO AND STERLING SWAP SPREADS [PDF]
This paper examines the causal relationship between euro and sterling swap spreads during the period January, 1999 to March, 2003. The absence of any correlation between changes in the two swap spreads would indicate that credit risk factors are country ...

Credit Derivatives Pricing with a Smile-Extended Jump Stochastic Intensity Model [PDF]
We present a two-factor stochastic default intensity and interest rate model for pricing single-name default swaptions. The specific positive square root processes considered fall in the relatively tractable class of affine jump diffusions while allowing

A Consistent Pricing Model for Index Options and Volatility Derivatives [PDF]
We propose and study a flexible modeling framework for the joint dynamics of an index and a set of forward variance swap rates written on this index, allowing options on forward variance swaps and options on the underlying index to be priced consistently.

Convergence of the discrete variance swap in time-homogeneous diffusion models [PDF]
In stochastic volatility models based on time-homogeneous diffusions, we provide a simple necessary and sufficient condition for the discretely sampled fair strike of a variance swap to converge to the continuously sampled fair strike. It extends Theorem 3.8 of Jarrow, Kchia, Larsson and Protter (2013) and gives an affirmative answer to a problem posed
