چکیده

In this paper we consider several parametric assumptions for the instantaneous covariance structure of the Libor market model. We examine the impact of each different parameterization on the evolution of the term structure of volatilities in time, on terminal correlations and on the joint calibration to the caps and swaptions markets. We present a number of cases of calibration in the Euro market. In particular, we consider calibration via a parameterization establishing a controllable one to one correspondence between instantaneous covariance parameters and swaptions volatilities, and assess the benefits of smoothing the input swaption matrix before calibrating.

On the joint calibration of the Libor market model to caps and swaptions market volatilities

In this paper we consider several parametric assumptions for the instantaneous covariance structure of the Libor market model. We examine the impact of each different parameterization on the evolution of the term structure of volatilities in time, on terminal correlations and on the joint calibration to the caps and swaptions markets. We present a number of cases of calibration in the Euro mark...

Calibration of LIBOR models to caps and swaptions: a way around intrinsic instabilities via parsimonious structures and a collateral market criterion

We expose an intrinsic stability problem in joint calibration of a LIBOR market model to caps and swaptions by direct least squares calibration. This problem typically encounters if one tries to identify jointly the volatility norm behaviour and the correlation structure of the forward LIBORs. As a remedy we propose collateral incorporation of a 'Market Swaption Formula', a rule-of-thumb formul...

Calibration of the LIBOR market model - implementation in PREMIA∗

This paper reviews the BGM model for the parameterization of LIBOR forward interest rate curves, and presents a C++ implementation in PREMIA of the calibration algorithm of [7] using the market prices of caps and swaptions in this model.

Libor model with expiry-wise stochastic volatility and displacement

We develop a multi-factor stochastic volatility Libor model with displacement, where each individual forward Libor is driven by its own square-root stochastic volatility process. The main advantage of this approach is that, maturity-wise, each square-root process can be calibrated to the corresponding cap(let)vola-strike panel at the market. However, since even after freezing the Libors in the ...

Volatility Skews and Extensions of the Libor Market Model

This paper considers extensions of the Libor market model (Brace et al (1997), Jamshidian (1997), Miltersen et al (1997)) to markets with volatility skews in observable option prices. We expand the family of forward rate processes to include diffusions with non-linear forward rate dependence and discuss efficient techniques for calibration to quoted prices of caps and swaptions. Special emphasi...
