This paper compares the pricing and hedging performance of the LMM model against two spot-rate models, namely Hull-White and Black-Karasinski, and the more recent Swap Market Model from an Asset-Liability-Management (ALM) perspective. In contrast to previous studies in the literature, our...

This paper tests the co-terminal swap market model (SMM) pricing and hedging performance on Bermudan swaptions. To our knowledge, the drift for SMM is derived explicitly for the first time here, and the procedures for calibration and simulation using a collection of forward swap rates are also...

In this paper, we compare two one-factor short rate models: the Hull White model and the Black-Karasinski model. Despite their inherent shortcomings the short rate models are being used quite extensively by the practitioners for risk-management purposes. The research, as part of students'...
