Libor Market Model with Stochastic Volatility
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we extend the standard LIBOR market model to accommodate the pronounced phenomenon of implied volatility smiles/skews. We adopt a multiplicative stochastic factor to the volatility functions of all relevant forward rates. The stochastic factor follows a square-root diffusion process, and it can be correlated to the forward rates. For any swap rate, we derive an approximate process under its corresponding forward swap measure. By utilizing the analytical tractability of the approximate process, we develop a closed-form formula for swaptions in term of Fourier transforms. Extensive numerical tests are carried out to support the swaptions formula. The extended model captures the downward volatility skews by taking negative correlations between forward rates and their volatilities, which is consistent with empirical findings.

Multiple stochastic volatility extension of the Libor market model and its implementation
In this paper we propose an extension of the Libor market model with a high-dimensional specially structured system of square root volatility processes, and give a road map for its calibration. As such the model is well suited for Monte Carlo simulation of derivative interest rate instruments. As a key issue, we require that the local covariance structure of the market model is preserved in the...

متن کاملExtended Libor Market Models with Affine and Quadratic Volatility
The market model of interest rates specifies simple forward or Libor rates as log-normally distributed, their stochastic dynamics has a linear volatility function. In this paper, the model is extended to quadratic volatility functions which are the product of a quadratic polynomial and a level-independent covariance matrix. The extended Libor market models allow for closed form cap pricing form...
متن کاملOn Cross-Currency Models with Stochastic Volatility and Correlated Interest Rates
We construct multi-currency models with stochastic volatility and correlated stochastic interest rates with a full matrix of correlations. We first deal with a foreign exchange (FX) model of Heston-type, in which the domestic and foreign interest rates are generated by the short-rate process of Hull-White [HW96]. We then extend the framework by modeling the interest rate by a stochastic volatil...
متن کاملLibor 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 ...
