New market models revolutionize interest rate pricing and financial market stability.
The article discusses changes in market rates after the 2007 subprime mortgage crisis and proposes new formulas and models to address these changes. It introduces a new way to price interest rate swaps using different curves for future rates and cash flow discounting. The article also presents modifications to market formulas for caps and swaptions. A new LIBOR market model is introduced, based on the joint evolution of FRA rates and forward rates. The model includes stochastic volatility and provides closed-form formulas for caplets and swaptions. Alternative formulations of multi-curve LIBOR market models are available for download.
