Presentation: A new approach to LIBOR modeling - application of affine processes

Workshop: Concluding Workshop

Time: Thu, December 04, 2008, 11:15-11:45

Abstract

LIBOR market models for interest rate derivatives suffer from severe intractability problems; especially for models driven by jump processes, even caplets cannot be priced in closed form. On the other hand, modeling the forward price produces a very tractable model, but negative LIBOR rates can occur (similarly to HJM models).

In this work we propose a new approach to LIBOR modeling based on affine processes. We construct suitable martingales and then model LIBOR rates in a manner that produces positive LIBOR rates and is analytically very
tractable.

This talk is based on joint work with Josef Teichmann and Martin Keller-Ressel.
