1 November 5, 2012 A JOINT STOCK AND BOND MARKET BASED ON THE HYPERBOLIC GAUSSIAN MODEL NICOLE BÄUERLE AND ROBIN PFEIFFER Absrac In his paper, we inroduce a join bond and sock marke model based on he sae price densiy approach as a mean o discoun fuure paymens - wheher hese are sochasic dividend paymens or secure repaymens of governmen zerobonds Based upon a recipe of Rogers 1997, we define a sae price densiy model, he so-called Hyperbolic Gaussian model which allows for closed form zerobond prices and sock prices in an arbirage-free way I is paricularly useful for insurance applicaions where large ime horizons are considered We esimae he join facor model using he exended Kalman filer The model we propose here is compuaionally much simpler han oher models which have been considered in he lieraure Key words: Ineres rae models, Poenial approach, Dividend discoun approach, Kalman filer, Mone Carlo simulaion JEL subjec classificaions: G12, C51, E43, G22 1 Inroducion In order o compare sochasic cash flows, hey have o be discouned which requires a sochasic erm srucure model Mos erm srucure models in he lieraure have been developed for banking applicaions for an overview see eg Filipovic 2009, Cairns 2008, Musiela & Rukowski 2005, Rebonao 2002 or Brigo & Mercurio 2001 For insurance companies erm srucure dynamics play a cenral role Wha is special in insurance applicaions is ha firs, he duraion of producs like life or pension insurance conracs ypically exceed he available mauriies of he currenly observable erm srucure Nex, he insurer requires a erm srucure model o discoun his conracual liabiliies which ypically requires Mone Carlo simulaion due o he complexiy Finally life and pension insurers a leas in coninenal Europe mainly inves in fixed income securiies Fuure payoffs of insurance conracs herefore depend on inermediae reurns achieved in fixed income markes and inermediae porfolio allocaion which yields pah-dependence for mos insurance applicaions In his paper we consider he so-called Hyperbolic Gaussian model which is a special case of he sae price densiy models inroduced in Rogers 1997 The sae price densiy ς is someimes called risk-neural densiy or sae-price deflaor and i can be used o price coningen claims see eg Duffie 1992 If C T is he payoff of a coningen claim a ime T, hen is price a ime can be defined by C = E[ς T C T F ] ς In he classical Black-Scholes model wih one sock and consan shorrae r, drif µ and volailiy σ, he sae price densiy is for example given by ς = L B 1 L = exp 1 2 µ r σ 2 µ r σ where B = e r and Z Karlsruhe Insiue of Technology KIT, Insiue for Sochasics, Kaisersr 89, Karlsruhe, Germany nicolebaeuerle@kiedu and robinpfeiffer@kiedu Phone: Fax: The underlying projec is funded by he Bundesminiserium für Bildung und Forschung of Germany under promoional reference 03BAPAD2 The auhors are responsible for he conen of his aricle 1 c 0000 copyrigh holder

2 2 N BÄUERLE AND R PFEIFFER The process Z is a Brownian moion and L T can be used o define he risk neural measure dq dp = L T The price C a ime of a coningen claim which pays C T a ime T is given by [ C = B E Q CT B 1 T F ] = 1 L B 1 E [ C T L T B 1 T F ] = E [ C T ς T F ] where we used he Bayes rule for he second equaion In case of a defaul free bond we have C T = 1 and an explici bond price formula essenially requires ha E [ ] ς T F can be compued One represenaive of his family is he model considered in Cairns 2004 see also Cairns 2008 There ς := φ s M, sds where φ is a deerminisic funcion and M, s for s is a family of sricly posiive diffusion maringales This model is also a special case of he Flesaker and Hughson framework Flesaker & Hughson 1996, indeed his poin of view is aken in Cairns 2004 For special choices of φ and M in paricular M is aken as a funcion of an Ornsein-Uhlenbeck sae process, Cairns shows some properies of his model and in paricular recommends i for longerm ineres rae modeling, since i provides susained periods of boh high and low ineres raes This is of paricular imporance in insurance applicaions Moreover, i guaranees posiive ineres raes The price of a bond a ime wih mauriy T in Cairns model is given by T M, sφsds P, T = M, sφsds 11 Since he price depends on he whole pah of M, s his formula is compuaionally demanding and slow in Mone Carlo simulaions The main aim of our paper is o presen he Hyperbolic Gaussian model as a model wih similar feaures bu one which is very easy o implemen and hus ineresing for pracical purposes We also show ha he Hyperbolic Gaussian model can be exended o a join bond and sock marke - a feaure which is only heoreically possible in Cairns model Indeed he advanage of an explici model for he sae price densiy, like he Hyperbolic Gaussian model, lies in avoiding he inegral over he sochasic shorrae in discouning funcions This is paricularly helpful in he pricing of complex securiies such as in life insurance, which ypically require Mone Carlo simulaion In ha case, when eg a shorrae model is used, discouning based on shorrae inegrals are necessarily pah dependen and he frequency of inermediae seps is deermined by he shorrae inegral and hence ulimaely he discouning funcion, no he securiy o be priced and is cash flow Using an explici model for he sae price densiy implies ha inermediae simulaion poins are deermined by he securiy o be priced only and hence ypically far less random variables have o be used in Mone Carlo simulaions based upon he sae price densiy Thus, we consider here he Hyperbolic Gaussian model which on he negaive side does no guaranee posiive ineres raes, however is compuaionally much more efficien han he model in Cairns 2004 and shows a similar behavior Indeed, in boh models when implemened as a wo-facor model, one sae vecor componen usually coincides wih he slope of he ineres curve whereas he oher componen coincides wih he level For a deailed comparison of boh models, including parameer esimaion resuls and properies see Pfeiffer 2010 cp also Secion 43 Moreover, wha is imporan for us, is ha he Hyperbolic Gaussian model can produce longer periods of low ineres raes and he hisorical fi using he exended Kalman filer is very good see Secion 4 Thus we hink his model migh be helpful for simulaion ools like DFA dynamic financial analysis in insurance companies Le us noe here ha also in Yao 2001 an exponenial sae price densiy has been used o derive bond prices, opion prices and foreign exchange raes Since pure erm srucure models are insufficien o simulae he asse side of an insurance company, a major ask is o exend he bond marke consisenly Wilkie 1984, 1986 argues ha an insurance or pension fund model should a leas incorporae consol yields, sock prices, ς

3 A JOINT STOCK AND BOND MARKET BASED ON THE HYPERBOLIC GAUSSIAN MODEL 3 dividend yield and inflaion In Wilkie 1995 he invesmen model is even expanded In order o incorporae a leas a sock we use wo approaches: A dividend discoun approach and an exension of he Black Scholes model In he dividend discoun approach, he sock price a ime is inerpreed as he value of all fuure dividends discouned a ime Such an approach easily fis ino he sae price densiy framework which is used o discoun dividends In a coninuous dividend paying seing his has been used in Graziano & Rogers 2006 In he model invesigaed in Cairns 2004 such an approach is also possible from a heoreical poin of view however pracically unfeasible due o compuaional limiaions For he Hyperbolic Gaussian model on he oher side i provides an arbirage-free, implemenable sock pricing framework The ouline of our paper is as follows: In he nex secion we review he sae price densiy approach and presen he Hyperbolic Gaussian model I is based upon mulidimensional Ornsein-Uhlenbeck sae processes The special one-dimensional case can already be found as an example in Rogers 1997 and Cairns 2008 Explici bond-price formulas are derived as well as zerobond raes and he shorrae I is also shown ha he family of bond prices is free of arbirage Secion 3 hen exends his model o an arbirage-free join bond and sock marke model by using he dividend discoun approach and an exension of he Black Scholes model Secion 4 is dedicaed o esimaing he model parameers Since we have a facor model we use he exended Kalman filer for esimaion of he model parameers in a Quasi-Maximum- Likelihood approach Only he implemenaion for he dividend discoun approach is explained The unobservable process is he sae process and he observable process is he erm srucure Since he measuremen equaion is nonlinear we use he exended Kalman filer The procedure is applied o a hree-dimensional facor process and one sock using a daase of he Federal Reserve consising of yields derived from he US Treasury securiies and he S&P 500 The esimaion resuls and possible problems are discussed A shor conclusion and an appendix conaining he proofs of some of he heorems in Secion 22 complees he paper 2 The Exended Rogers Framework and he Hyperbolic Gaussian Model 21 The Exended Rogers Framework Rogers 1997 presened a generic approach o model he sae price densiy as a funcion of an underlying Markovian sae vecor process More precisely, one has o choose a coninuous-ime Markov process X wih values in R d and a posiive funcion f wih domain R d, which, ogeher wih a parameer α R provides he sae price densiy process ς by ς = e α fx, 0 We assume ha all random variables are defined on a common probabiliy space Ω, F, P where P is he so-called pricing measure The process X is ofen called sae process In wha follows le F be he filraion generaed by X, ie F = σx s, s We will always assume ha he expecaion of fx exiss Using he definiion of ς, he curren price C of a coningen claim a ime which pays C T a ime T > under he sae price densiy approach is given by C = E [ς T C T F ] = e αt E [fx T C T X ], 21 ς fx This provides a formula which can convenienly be evaluaed by Mone Carlo mehods since only he condiional disribuion of X T X has o be simulaed This is in conras o shorrae models where usually he whole shorrae pah r has o be simulaed o obain he discoun funcion T r s ds The price of a zerobond wih mauriy a ime T is herefore given by P, T = e αt E [fx T X ] 22 fx and hence a measurable funcion of he underlying sae X The quesion now is how o choose he funcion f and he sae vecor dynamics Several imporan heoreical and pracical properies resric our choices Firs, a basic requiremen for applicabiliy is ha zerobond

4 4 N BÄUERLE AND R PFEIFFER prices and hence ineres raes are available in closed form Given 22, his implies ha E [fx T X ] mus be available in closed form Ye anoher imporan requiremen is ha ineres raes are mean revering in he sense ha we wan hisorically observed ineres raes o occur repeaedly in simulaions Following Lierman & Scheinkman 1991, we know ha o realisically model erm srucure dynamics, muli-dimensional sae processes X are required Typical choices for X herefore are processes whose componens are Ornsein-Uhlenbeck or Cox-Ingersoll-Ross processes The following heorems derive furher imporan condiions The firs saemen can be found in Rukowski 1997, Secion 3 Theorem 21 If he sae price densiy is a supermaringale, hen he erm srucure model is free of arbirage The nex heorem links non-negaiviy of ineres raes wih he sae price densiy cf also Cairns 2008, Theorem 82 Theorem 22 Ineres raes are non-negaive if and only if he sae price densiy is a supermaringale Proof Ineres raes are non-negaive if and only if 1 P, T holds for all [0, T ], hence 1 P, T = E [ς T X ] ς This is equivalen o ς E [ς T X ] and hence o ς being an F -supermaringale Noe, hough, ha in Theorem 21 he supermaringale propery of he sae price densiy is only a sufficien condiion for obaining an arbirage-free marke, he condiion in Theorem 22 is necessary If we give up he supermaringale propery of ς, all ha is required for a erm srucure model is a muli-dimensional mean revering process and a posiive funcion f which guaranee ha E [fx T X ] is available in closed form If no-arbirage can be shown, we have a viable erm srucure model, albei one which allows for negaive ineres raes as many currenly used erm srucure models 22 The Hyperbolic Gaussian model In his secion, we will presen an arbirage-free erm srucure model which we call Hyperbolic Gaussian model in which he sae price densiy is no a supermaringale and hence no-arbirage has o be shown separaely The Hyperbolic Gaussian model is he fourh example of Rogers 1997, specified by he choice of he funcion fx = coshγ x + c where γ R d, c R and he sae process X which is given by he follow dynamics dx = κ µ X d + CdZ 23 where κ = diagκ i R d d is a diagonal marix wih κ 1,, κ d on he diagonal, µ R d, C is a d n marix and Z = Z 1,, Z n is an n-dimensional Brownian moion under he pricing measure wih insananeous correlaion marix CC =: ρ = ρ ij The sae process herefore is an Ornsein-Uhlenbeck process under he pricing measure Hence he sae price densiy formula yields ς := e α coshγ X + c = 1 2 e α expγ X + c + exp γ X c 24 To simplify noaion, we inroduce he real-valued process V := γ X From 23 i follows ha dv = γ κ µ X d + ĈdZ 25 where Ĉ := γ C Hence we can express he sae price densiy as ς := e α coshv + c = 1 2 e α expv + c + exp V c 26

5 A JOINT STOCK AND BOND MARKET BASED ON THE HYPERBOLIC GAUSSIAN MODEL 5 An imporan propery of Ornsein-Uhlenbeck processes is ha he condiional disribuion of X T given X is mulivariae normal wih E [X T X ] = e κt X + 1 e κt µ 27 whereby e κt := diage κ it R d d, 1 e κt := diag1 e κ it R d d and condiional covariance marix Σ, T := Cov [X T X ] = ρlk 1 e κ k+κ l T 28 κ k + κ l l,k=1,,d Theorem 23 For he Hyperbolic Gaussian model as defined above, he price of a zerobond a ime wih mauriy T is P, T = e αt cosh E [V T X ] + c e 1 2 γ Σ,T γ coshv + c Proof Using 21 wih CT = 1, he bond price is given by P, T = e αt E [fx T X ] fx wih fx = coshγ X + c = coshv + c Using he fac ha X T X has a condiional mulivariae normal disribuion, we ge E [expv T + c X ] = exp E [V T + c X ] Cov [V T + c X ] = exp γ e κt X + 1 e κt µ + c γ Σ, T γ Thus, we arrive a E [fx T X ] = E [coshv T + c X ] = 1 [ exp γ e κt X + 1 e κt µ + c 2 + exp γ e κt X + 1 e κt ] 1 µ c exp 2 γ Σ, T γ 1 = cosh E [V T X ] + c exp 2 γ Σ, T γ which yields he resul From he zerobond price formula we can direcly derive he nominal zerobond raes y, T := 1 T log P, T which are given in he nex corollary: Corollary 24 For he Hyperbolic Gaussian model, nominal zerobond raes y, T a ime wih expiry dae T are given by y, T = α log cosh E [V T X ] + c T + log cosh V + c T γ Σ, T γ 2T Insananeous forward raes f, T = T log P, T and shorraes r = f, can be derived as well In wha follows denoes he Euclidean norm Corollary 25 For he Hyperbolic Gaussian model, he shorrae is given by r = α γ κ µ X anhv + c 1 2 Ĉ 2 and insananeous forward raes f, T are given by f, T = α anhe[v T X ] + cγ κe κt X µ + γ e κt ρe κt γ

6 6 N BÄUERLE AND R PFEIFFER Proof By definiion we obain and f, T = log P, T T = T log = T e αt coshe[v T X ] + c e 1 2 γ Σ,T γ coshv + c αt + log coshe[v T X ] + c γ Σ, T γ = α anhe[v T X ] + cγ κe κt X µ γ e κt ρe κt γ r = f, = α anhv + cγ κx µ 1 2 Ĉ 2 which yields he resul We can see from he shorrae ha he Hyperbolic Gaussian model allows for negaive ineres raes Neverheless, he probabiliy of negaive ineres raes is small due o non-lineariy of he funcion f in he sae process and he sae process iself being condiionally normal The higher α, he lower he condiional probabiliy of negaive ineres raes, so ha we would prefer model esimaes wih high α However, α has a direc economic inerpreaion which migh bound α and hence shape he probabiliy of negaive ineres raes Theorem 26 The parameer α equals he asympoic long rae lim T y, T Proof Since lim T E [X T X ] = µ and since log and cosh are coninuous and cosh 1 we obain direcly lim T y, T = α The asympoic long rae is very influenial for long-erm applicaions as i deermines long-erm discouning funcions As can be seen in Yao 1999, i is consan for many currenly used erm srucure models, paricularly also he affine model framework see Duffie & Kan 1996 and Dai & Singleon 2000 Noe ha in mos models he consan asympoic long rae is a funcion of several model parameers, which makes sensiiviy analysis wih respec o he asympoic long rae impossible, whereas he Hyperbolic Gaussian model allows for such sensiiviy analysis As he Hyperbolic Gaussian model also allows for an expansion o sock marke dynamics, i is paricularly ineresing for long-erm usage in pension or insurance applicaions which require long-erm discouning Since he sae price densiy in he Hyperbolic Gaussian model is in general no a supermaringale, i does no follow from sandard lieraure ha i is free of arbirage The proof of he following heorem can be found in he appendix Theorem 27 For he Hyperbolic Gaussian model as defined above, he bond marke is free of arbirage Remark 28 Noe ha he proof of Theorem 27 implies ha he marke price of risk is given by ΛV = anhv + cĉ and hus bounded I can be used o define an equivalen maringale measure Q which does no depend on he ime o mauriy and o define a corresponding Q- Brownian moion Z Q Finally noe here ha he Bond price formula in Theorem 23 is very easy o implemen since i only requires he simulaion of X which is normally disribued This is in conras o formula 11 used by Cairns which is compuaionally demanding Moreover, i has been shown in Pfeiffer 2010 ha boh models have similar properies hough Cairns model guaranees posiive ineres raes Hence for pracical purposes he Hyperbolic Gaussian model seems o be superior
