After the dawn of the August 2007 financial crisis, banks became more aware of financial risk leading to the appearance of nonnegligible spreads between LIBOR and OIS rates and also between LIBOR of different tenors. This consequently led to the birth of multicurve models. This study establishes a new model; the multicurve cross-currency LIBOR market model (MCCCLMM). The model extends the initial LIBOR Market Model (LMM) from the single-curve cross-currency economy into the multicurve cross-currency economy. The model incorporates both the risk-free OIS rates and the risky forward LIBOR rates of two different currencies. The established model is suitable for pricing different quanto interest rate derivatives. A brief illustration is given on the application of the MCCCLMM on pricing quanto caplets and quanto floorlets using a Black-like formula derived from the MCCCLMM.

In Zhong (2018), LIBOR market model with multiplicative basis, International Journal of Financial Engineering, 5(2), we proposed a LIBOR market model with multiplicative basis, namely, the LMM-MB model, to model the joint evolution of the LIBOR rates and the OIS forward rates. This model leads to tractable pricing formulas for the standard interest rate derivatives such as the (vanilla) caplet, swaption and futures. In this paper, we study the pricing of some non-standard interest rate derivatives under the LMM-MB model, specifically the in-arrears (IA) cap and the ratchet cap. Similar to the vanilla caplet, we show that the pricing of the IA caplet can be readily computed by a proper integral of real-valued functions. We then derive an analytical approximation for the ratchet cap. In the case of non-zero spread, the ratchet cap can be approximated by using a two-dimensional fast Fourier transform method. In the case of zero spread, the ratchet cap can be computed from a proper integral of a single variable function. Numerical results reveal a good match of our close-form formulas with the Monte Carlo simulation method.

AbstractThis paper studies the control variate method for pricing interest rate derivatives driven by the LIBOR market model. Several control variates are constructed based on distinctive approximations for the LIBOR market model. Numerical results show the great efficiency of our methods. The idea in this paper can also be extended to price other interest rate derivatives under the LIBOR market model, such asSwaptions, Caps, some path dependent interest rate derivatives, and so forth.

<p>In this paper, we propose analytical valuation formulae for three types of quanto floating range notes based on the cross-currency LIBOR market model. The dynamics of forward LIBOR rates is a multifactor model that incorporates both the domestic and foreign interest rate process and the exchange rate process in a cross-currency environment. The derived formulae are analytically tractable and easy to implement in practice. The model parameters can be extracted directly from market quantities. We show that the empirical results are more accurate and robust than the results ofMonte Carlosimulation.</p>

We describe the Bond Market Model, a multi-factor interest rate term structure model, where it is possible to price with Black-like formulas the three classes of over-the-counter plain vanilla options. We derive the prices of caps/floors, bond options and swaptions. A comparison with Libor Market Model and Swap Market Model is discussed in detail, underlining advantages and limits of the different approaches.

In this paper an efficient calibration method for the multi-factor LIBOR Market Model (LMM) is proposed and is applied for the Japanese interest rate market. At first the joint calibration method in the cap and swaption market is demonstrated using a new parameterization for the correlation matrix in the LMM. Then we implement the proposed methodology for calibrating the Japanese cap and swaption markets, where the computational procedure is shown to be tractable and provides a practical estimation for the implied correlation matrix in the LMM. The empirical analysis also illustrates that Black's swaption volatilities through our calibration fit the market data almost exactly and that the estimated implied correlation matrix is smooth and stable.

The LIBOR Market Model has become one of the most popular models for pricing interest rate products. It is commonly believed that Monte-Carlo simulation is the only viable method available for the LIBOR Market Model. In this article, however, we propose a lattice approach to price interest rate products within the LIBOR Market Model by introducing a shifted forward measure and several novel fast drift approximation methods. This model should achieve the best performance without losing much accuracy. Moreover, the calibration is almost automatic and it is simple and easy to implement. Adding this model to the valuation toolkit is actually quite useful; especially for risk management or in the case there is a need for a quick turnaround.
