Valuation of two-factor interest rate contingent claims using Green's theorem

Sorwar, Ghulam ; Barone-Adesi, Giovanni

In: Applied mathematical finance, 2011, vol. 18, no. 4, p. 277-289

Over the years a number of two-factor interest rate models have been proposed that have formed the basis for the valuation of interest rate contingent claims. This valuation equation often takes the form of a partial differential equation, that is solved using the finite difference approach. In the case of two factor models this has resulted in solving two second order partial derivatives...

Valuation of derivatives based on CKLS interest rate models

Barone-Adesi, Giovanni ; Istituto di finanza (IFin), Facoltà di scienze economiche, Università della Svizzera italiana, Svizzera ; Allegretto, Walter ; Dinenis, Elias ; Sorwar, Ghulam

The CKLS (1992) short-term risk-free interest rate process leads to valuation model for both default free bonds and contingent claims that can only be solved numerically for the general case. Valuation equations of this nature in the past have been solved using the Crank Nicholson scheme. In this paper, we introduce a new numerical scheme – the Box method, and compare it with the traditional...

Estimating the benefits of low flow alleviation in rivers

Buchli, Loa ; Filippini, Massimo ; Banfi, Silvia

In Switzerland 60% of electricity is produced by hydropower plants. The construction and operation of these plants determine some negative environmental externalities, such as diminishing groundwater levels and spring flows, and a reduction in river flow, which can severely curtail recreational and fishing activities. This study concentrates on an ex-ante appraisal of the monetary benefits...
