Valuation of interest rate instruments under backward-looking forward rate framework

Abstract: With the discontinuation of Interbank Offered Rates(IBOR), traders found some al-ternative reference rates to replace IBOR. Backward-looking rates are widely accepted new benchmark interest rates. In this thesis, we introduce and subsequently proceed to explore backward-looking rate model and continue doing some re-valuation of interest rate instruments under the backward-looking rates framework.
