This paper presents a simulation study of hedging long-dated futures options, in the Rabinovitch (1989) model which assumes correlated dynamics between spot asset prices and interest rates. Under this model and when the maturity of the hedging instruments match the maturity of the option,...

I document a sizeable bias that might arise when valuing out of the money American options via the Least Square Method proposed by Longstaff and Schwartz (2001). The key point of this algorithm is the regression-based estimate of the continuation value of an American option. If this regression...

This paper studies game-type credit default swaps that allow the protection buyer and seller to raise or reduce their respective positions once prior to default. This leads to the study of an optimal stopping game subject to early default termination. Under a structural credit risk model based...

The payoff of many credit derivatives depends on the level of credit spreads. In particular, the payoff of credit derivatives with a leverage component is sensitive to jumps in the underlying credit spreads. In the framework of first passage time models we address these issues by specifying a...

The payoff of many credit derivatives depends on the level of credit spreads. In particular, credit derivatives with a leverage component are subject to gap risk, a risk associated with the occurrence of jumps in the underlying credit default swaps. In the framework of first passage time models,...

We propose an iterative method for pricing American options under jump-diffusion models. A finite difference discretization is performed on the partial integro-differential equation, and the American option pricing problem is formulated as a linear complementarity problem (LCP). Jump-diffusion...

This paper develops a valuation model of European options incorporating a stochastic default barrier, which extends a constant default barrier proposed in the Hull-White model. The default barrier is considered as an option writer's liability. Closed-form solutions of vulnerable European option...
