In this paper, we price covariance and correlation swaps for financial markets with Markov-modulated volatilities. As an example, we consider stochastic volatility driven by a two-state continuous Markov chain. In this case, numerical examples are presented for VIX and VXN volatility indices...

In this paper, we model financial markets with semi-Markov volatilities and price covarinace and correlation swaps for this markets. Numerical evaluations of vari- nace, volatility, covarinace and correlations swaps with semi-Markov volatility are presented as well. The novelty of the paper lies...

In this paper we propose a semi-Markov modulated model of interest rates. We assume that the switching process is a semi-Markov process with finite state space E and the modulated process is a diffusive process. We derive recursive equations for the higher order moments of the discount factor...

We consider the problem of constructing an appropriate multivariate model for the study of the counterparty credit risk in credit rating migration problem. For this financial problem different multivariate Markov chain models were proposed. However the markovian assumption may be inappropriate...

We propose a semi-Markov modulated interest rate model. We assume that the switching process is a semi-Markov process with finite state space and the modulated process is a diffusive process. Classical models such as those by Vasicek and CIR are generalized.

<i>Modeling and Pricing of Swaps for Financial and Energy Markets with Stochastic Volatilities</i> is devoted to the modeling and pricing of various kinds of swaps, such as those for variance, volatility, covariance, correlation, for financial and energy markets with different stochastic volatilities,...

Using a Levy process we generalize formulas in Bo et al.(2010) for the Esscher transform parameters for the log-normal distribution which ensure the martingale condition holds for the discounted foreign exchange rate. Using these values of the parameters we find a risk-neural measure and provide...

We derived similar to Bo et al. (2010) results but in the case when the dynamics of the FX rate is driven by a general Merton jump-diffusion process. The main results of our paper are as follows: 1) formulas for the Esscher transform parameters which ensure that the martingale condition for the...

The analogue of Black–Scholes formula for vanilla call option price in conditions of (B,S)-securities market with delayed response is derived. A special case of continuous-time version of GARCH is considered. The results are compared with the results of Black and Scholes.

The Markov-modulated (B; S)-securities market is a (B; S)-security market, consisting of riskless asset, bond B; and risky asset, stock S; in random media X; or (B; S)-security market driven by a Markov process xt 2 X: We study the pricing options for Markovmodulated fractional Brownian (B;...
