Liquidity Effects and Volatility Smiles in Interest Rate Option Markets
We investigate the interaction of volatility smiles and liquidity in the euro (€) interest rate option markets, using an extensive data-set on daily bid and ask prices of interest rate caps and floors. We find that, in this market, the implied volatility smiles are asymmetric, and are steeper on the ask-side. Liquidity variables have significant explanatory power for both curvature and asymmetr...
متن کاملInterest Rate Option Pricing With Volatility Humps
This paper develops a simple model for pricing interest rate options. Analytical solutiorls are developed for European claims and extremely efficient algorithms exist for tile pricing of American opciolls. T h e interest rate claims are priced in the Heath-Jarrow-klorto~i paradigm, and hence illcorporate full information on the term structure. T h e volatility. structure for forward rates is hu...
متن کاملInvestigating the Relationship between the Facility Interest Rate and the Bank Deposit Interest Rate in Iran
The facility interest rate is one of the most important macroeconomic variables. The bank facility interest rate is associated with other macro-economic variables, one of which is the bank deposit interest rate. Using the time series data of the 1973-2017 period and the simultaneous equation system, the researchers estimated four equations using the three-stage least squares method.The result o...
متن کاملOption-based tests of interest rate diffusion functions
The consistent finding in papers that estimate the interest rate diffusion function is that interest rate volatility is an increasing function of the spot rate. This paper introduces and implements regression tests of monotonic diffusion functions using an implied volatility proxy for objective volatility. Using the case of three-month LIBOR rates, this paper documents that the relationship bet...
متن کاملInterest Rate Uncertainty and Economic Fluctuations
Uncertainty associated with the monetary policy transmission mechanism is a key driving force of business cycles. To investigate this link, we propose a new term structure model that allows the volatility of the yield curve to interact with macroeconomic indicators. The data favors a model with two volatility factors that capture shortterm and long-term interest rate uncertainty. Increases in e...
