The valuation is performed on yield curve, deposit rate and deposit … (yield curve level versus slope shock) and on the average decay rate. We assess the reliability of the reported point …

Within the structural approach for credit risk models we discuss the optimal exercise of the callable and convertible bonds. The Vasiček-model is applied to incorporate interest rate risk into the firm’s value process which follows a geometric Brownian motion. Finally, we derive pricing...
