题目: Pricing Interest Rate Derivatives in a Multifactor HJM Model
with Time Dependent Volatility
报告摘要: We investigate the partial differential equation (PDE) for pricing interest derivatives in the multi-factor Cheyette Model, that involves time-dependent volatility functions with a special structure. The high dimensional parabolic PDE that results is solved numerically via a modified sparse grid approach, that turns out to be accurate and efficient. In addition we study the corresponding Monte Carlo simulation, which is fast since the distribution of the state variables can be calculated explicitly. The results obtained from both methodologies are compared to the analytical solution existing for bonds and caplets.
