This paper studies high-frequency econometric methods to test for a jump in the spread of bond yields. We propose a coherent inference procedure that detects a jump in the yield spread only if at least one of the two underlying bonds displays a jump. Ignoring this inherent connection by basing...

In this paper, we present an efficient approach to compute the first and the second order price sensitivities in the Heston model using the algorithmic differentiation approach. Issues related to the applicability of the pathwise method are discussed in this paper as most existing numerical...
