  1. 1. An Attempt at Pricing Zero-Coupon Bonds under the Vasicek Model with a Mean Reverting Stochastic Volatility Factor

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Benjamin Neander; Victor Mattson; [2023]
    Keywords : Zero-coupon bond; Vasicek model; Two-factor interest rate model; Stochastic volatility.; Nollkupongobligation; Vasicek model; Räntemodell med två faktorer; Stokastisk volatilitet.;

    Abstract : Empirical evidence indicates that the volatility in asset prices is not constant, but varies over time. However, many simple models for asset pricing rest on an assumption of constancy. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modeling of Foreign Exchange Swap Distributions : A statistical evaluation of two stochastic models

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Produktionsekonomi

    Author : Ludvig Ehrenpreis; Eriksson Oscar; [2023]
    Keywords : term structure measurement; optimization; foreign exchange swaps; interest rates; FX; model comparison; FX swap models;

    Abstract : The global foreign exchange (FX) market is one of the world's largest financial markets and a significant part of this market concerns the trading of FX swaps. For banks and other financial institutions, it is of great interest to model these swaps as accurately as possible, as this could improve their risk management. READ MORE

  5. 4. Optimal Capital Structures under the Vasicek Stochastic Interest Rate Model

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Abstract : This study applies the Vasicek stochastic interest rate model in order to determine optimal capital structures for listed firms. A Swedish interest rate data set is used to estimate Vasicek model parameter that are reliable and independent of initial start values. READ MORE

  6. 5. Improving term structure measurements by incorporating steps in a multiple yield curve framework

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Produktionsekonomi

    Abstract : By issuing interest rate derivative contracts, market makers such as large banks are exposed to undesired risk. There are several methods for banks to hedge themselves against this type of risk; one such method is the stochastic programming model developed by Blomvall and Hagenbjörk (2022). READ MORE
