The class of forward-LIBOR market models can, under certain volatility structures, produce unrealistically high long-dated forward rates, particularly for maturities and tenors beyond the liquid market calibration instruments. This paper presents a diagnostic tool for analysing the quantiles of...

In 2008, first suspicions arose that the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) had been systematically manipulated by financial institutions involved with its fixing; in June 2012, several major international banks officially admitted to this. The regulatory response could not have been...

We consider a classical discrete term-structure model for the joint modelling of risk-free and defaultable bonds (also known under its historical name, defaultable LIBOR market model). We model the risk-free forward rate Lᵢ and the defaultable forward-rate Lᵈᵢ.In the usual specification...

This paper explores the use of currency swap lines by the Federal Reserve during the 2008 financial crisis, European debt crisis, and covid crisis of March 2020. Revisiting the Fed’s swap line selection criteria, this paper argues that the major consideration of Fed officials in providing...

Historically, currency swap lines between central banks were used to provide liquidity assistance to countries and as a means to influence exchange rates and offshore money market interest rates, such as the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR). Allen, Galati, Moessner, and Nelson (2017)...

In this article, we study stochastic orders over an interval. Mainly, we focus on orders related to the Laplace transform. The results are then applied to obtain a bound for heavy-tailed distributions and are illustrated by some examples. We also indicate how these ordering relationships can be...
