Inoducion o em Sucue Models Inees ae deivaives ae insumens ha ae in some way coningen on inees aes (bonds swaps o jus simple loans ha sa a a fuue poin in ime). Such secuiies ae exemely impoan because almos evey financial ansacion is exposed o inees ae isk and inees ae deivaives povide he means fo conolling his isk. In addiion same as wih ohe deivaive secuiies inees ae deivaives may also be used o enhance he pefomance of invesmen pofolios. he ineesing and cucial quesion is wha ae hese insumens woh on he make and how can hey be piced. In analogy o sock opions inees ae deivaives depend on hei undelying i.e. he inees ae. ond pices depend on he movemen of inees aes so do bond opions. he quesion of picing coningen claims on inees aes comes down o he quesion of how he undelying can be modeled. Fuue values ae unceain bu wih he help of sochasic models i is possible o ge infomaion abou possible inees aes. he ool needed is he em sucue he evoluion of spo aes ove ime. One has o conside boh he em sucue of inees aes and he em sucue of inees ae volailiies. em sucue models also known as yield cuve models descibe he pobabilisic behavio of all aes. hey ae moe complicaed han models used o descibe a sock pice o an exchange ae. his is because hey ae concened wih movemens in an enie yield cuve no wih changes o a single vaiable. As ime passes he individual inees aes in he em sucue change. In addiion he shape of he cuve iself is liable o change. We have o disinguish beween equilibium models and no-abiage models. In an equilibium model he iniial em sucue is an oupu fom he model in a noabiage model i is an inpu o he model. Equilibium models usually sa wih he assumpion abou economic vaiables and deive a pocess fo he sho-em isk-fee ae. 1 hey hen exploe wha he pocess implies fo bond pices and opion pices. he disadvanage of equilibium models is ha hey do no auomaically fi oday s em sucue. No-abiage models ae designed o be exacly consisen wih oday s em sucue. he idea is based on he isk-neual picing fomula when a bond is valued ove a single peiod of ime wih binominal laice. 1 When () is he only souce of unceainy fo he em sucue he sho ae is modeled by One-Faco Models.

Chaaceisics he em sucue model developed in 1990 by Fische lack Emanuel Deman and William oy is a yield-based model which has poved popula wih paciiones fo valuing inees ae deivaives such as caps and swapions ec. he lack Deman and oy model (hencefoh D model) is a one-faco sho-ae (no-abiage) model all secuiy pices and aes depend only on a single faco he sho ae he annualized one-peiod inees ae. he cuen sucue of long aes (yields on zeo-coupon easuy bonds) fo vaious mauiies and hei esimaed volailiies ae used o consuc a ee of possible fuue sho aes. his ee can hen be used o value inees-ae-sensiive secuiies. Seveal assumpions ae made fo he model o hold: Changes in all bond yields ae pefecly coelaed. Expeced euns on all secuiies ove one peiod ae equal. he sho aes ae log-nomally disibued hee exiss no axes o ansacion coss. As wih he oiginal Ho and Lee model he model is developed algoihmically descibing he evoluion of he em sucue in a discee-ime binominal laice famewok. Alhough he algoihmic consucion is ahe opaque wih egad o is assumpions abou he evoluion of he sho ae seveal auhos have shown ha he implied coninuous ime limi of he D model as we ake he limi of he size of he ime sep o zeo is given by he following sochasic diffeenial equaion 5 : σ ( ) d ln ( ) = θ ( ) ln ( ) d + σ ( ) dz σ ( ) his epesenaion of he model allows o undesand he assumpion implici in he model. he D model incopoaes wo independen funcions of ime θ() and σ() chosen so ha he model fis he em sucue of spo inees aes and he em sucue of spo ae volailiies. In conas o he Ho and Lee and Hull and Whie model in he D epesenaion he sho aes ae log-nomally disibued; wih he esuling advanage ha inees aes canno become negaive.

Modeling of an aificial Sho-Rae Pocess In his chape we descibe a model of inees aes ha can be used o value any inees-ae-sensiive secuiy. In explaining how i woks we concenae on valuing opions on easuy bonds. We wan o examine how he model woks in an imaginay wold in which changes in all bond yields ae pefecly coelaed expeced euns on all secuiies ove one peiod ae equal sho aes a any ime ae lognomally disibued and hee ae neihe axes no ading coss. We can value a zeo bond of any mauiy (poviding ou ee of fuue sho aes goes ou fa enough) using backwad inducion. We simply sa wih he secuiy s face value a mauiy and find he pice a each node ealie by discouning fuue pices using he sho ae a ha node. he em sucue of inees aes is quoed in yields ahe han pices. oday s annual yield y of he N-zeo in ems of is pice S is given by he y ha saisfies he following equaion (1). Similaly he yields (up and down) one yea fom now coesponding o he pices S u and S d ae given by equaion () S = (1) S N u d = () N 1 (1 + y) (1 + y ) u d We wan o find he sho aes ha assue ha he model s em sucue maches oday s make em sucue. Using able II we can illusae how o find sho aes one peiod in he fuue. 6 Mauiy (ys) Yield (%) Yield Volailiy (%) able II A Sample em Sucue 6 Example is aken fom lack Deman and oy (1990) pp.33-39

We know ha oday s sho ae is 10 pe cen. Suppose we make a guess fo u and d assuming ha u =14.3 and d =9.79 see Figue I a. A wo-yea zeo has a pice of EUR 100 a all nodes a he end of he second peiod no mae wha sho ae pevails. We can find he one-yea pices by discouning he expeced wo yea pices by u and d ; we ge pices of EUR and EUR see Figue I b. Using equaion () we find ha yields of 14.3 and 9.79 pe cen indeed coespond o hese pices. (e.g =100/1+y u so y u =14.3%). oday s pice is given by equaion (1) by discouning he expeced one-yea ou pice by oday s sho ae i.e. (0.5(87.47)+0.5(91.08))/1.1= We can ge oday s yield fo he wo yea zeo y using equaion (1) wih oday s pice as S. Figue I Finding ou he One-Yea Sho Raes (using a wo-yea zeo) (a) Rae ee (Guessed values) (b) Pice ee (Discouning he pice a mauiy wih u and d o ge he pices in =1; hen discouning hese using oday s sho ae in equaion (1)) 9.79 (c) Yield ee Using equaion o calculae he yields in =1 fo oday : 81.16=100/(1+y) he volailiy of his wo yea yield is defined as he naual logaihm of he aio of he ln one-yea yields : σ = = 19%. Wih he one-yea sho aes we have guessed he wo-yea zeo bond s yield and yield volailiy mach hose in he obseved em sucue of able II. his means ha ou guesses fo u and d wee igh. Had hey been wong we would have found he coec ones by ial and eo. So an iniial sho ae of 10 pe cen followed by equally pobable one-yea sho aes of 14.3 and 9.79 pe cen guaanee ha ou model maches he fis wo yeas of he em sucue.

Fo ou example shown in Figue II and III we conside a easuy wih a 10 pe cen coupon a face value of EUR 100 and hee yeas lef o mauiy. he applicaion of he D model povided us wih he sho aes which ae shown in Figue II a.

See Figue II panels (b c d). he ee shown in panel (a) was buil he same way as explained in he pevious secion of his pape o value all zeo s accoding o oday s yield cuve. Figue III a below shows he pice of he 10 pe cen easuy as he sum of he pesen values of he zeoes EUR he ee in Figue III b shows he hee-yea easuy pices obained afe subacing EUR 10 of accued inees on each coupon dae.

11 Implemenaion of he lack Deman and oy Model Page 11 Having found a pice fo he easuy EUR We can easily value opions on his secuiy e.g. a wo-yea Euopean call and pu suck a EUR 95. he pocess is shown in Figue IV. A expiaion he diffeence beween he bond s pice and he sike pice is calculaed o ge he calls (vice vesa- he pus) value.

In he beginning of his chape we oulined he appoach aken by lack Deman and oy in hei oiginal publicaion 8 of hei model. hey indicae a ial and eo pocedue wihou poviding any hins o faciliae he guessing game.
