4 Basic Interest Rates Economic agents have to be rewarded for postponing consumption; in addition, there is a risk premium for the uncertainty of the size of future consumption. Investors, Firms, banks pay compensation for the willingness to postpone A common interest rate (equilibrium) emerges which allows to fulfill the aggregate liquidity demand.

5 Basic Interest Rates Interest rates change with different maturities because market segmentation hypothesis different agents have different preferences for borrowing and lending in different segments of the yield curve. Agents can change their segment if the compensation for switching is high enough. expectation hypothesis today s interest rates (spot rates) are determined on the basis of the expected future rates plus a risk premium. liquidity preference hypothesis on average agents prefer to invest in short-term assets. Here Liquidity refers to closeness to maturity. Agents are compensated through a risk premium for investing in longer dated assets.

8 Fixed-rate Bond With a fixed-rate bond the seller promises the buyer to pay fixed coupons C over time, until the bond matures, and when it matures the seller will repay the principal amount borrowed. The price of a bond is determined by its cashflow and the discount factor (T = t + n maturity, N notional value) p c (t, T ) = = C (1 + r 1 ) 1 + C (1 + r 2 ) C + N (1 + r n ) n n C N (1 + r i ) i + (1 + r n ) n i=1 Interest Rates Basic Concepts Short Rate Models Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model Contingent Claim Pricing 8 / 89 Economics of Interest Rates Basic Objects Market Rates

9 Yield to Maturity The yield to maturity y can be calculated from the coupon bond prices p c (t, T ) = C (1 + y) 1 + C (1 + y) C + N (1 + y) n Interest Rates Basic Concepts Short Rate Models Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model Contingent Claim Pricing 9 / 89 Economics of Interest Rates Basic Objects Market Rates

10 Zero-Coupon Bonds p(t, T ) denotes the price of a risk-free zero-coupon bond at time t that pays one unit of currency at time T. We will use continuous compounding, i.e. a zero bond with interest rate r(t, T ) maturing at T will have the price p(t, T ) = e r(t,t )(T t).

11 Forward Rates Given three dates t < T 1 < T 2 the basic question is: what is the risk-free rate of return, determined at the contract time t, over the interval [T 1, T 2 ] of an investment of 1 at time T 1? Time t T 1 T 2 Sell T 1 bond Pay out 1 Buy p(t,t 1) p(t,t 2 ) T 2 bonds Receive p(t,t 1) p(t,t 2 ) Net investment p(t,t 1) p(t,t 2 ) Table: Arbitrage table for forward rates Interest Rates Basic Concepts Short Rate Models Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model Contingent Claim Pricing 11 / 89 Economics of Interest Rates Basic Objects Market Rates

12 Forward Rates To exclude arbitrage opportunities, the equivalent constant rate of interest R over this period (we pay out 1 at time T 1 and receive e R(T 2 T 1 ) at T 2 ) has thus to be given by e R(T 2 T 1 ) = p(t, T 1) p(t, T 2 ). Interest Rates Basic Concepts Short Rate Models Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model Contingent Claim Pricing 12 / 89 Economics of Interest Rates Basic Objects Market Rates

13 Various Interest Rates The forward rate at time t for time period [T 1, T 2 ] is defined as R(t, T 1, T 2 ) = log(p(t, T 1)) log(p(t, T 2 )) T 2 T 1 The spot rate for the time period [T 1, T 2 ] is defined as R(T 1, T 2 ) = R(T 1, T 1, T 2 ) The instantaneous forward rate is log(p(t, T )) f (t, T ) = T The instantaneous spot rate is r(t) = f (t, t) Interest Rates Basic Concepts Short Rate Models Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model Contingent Claim Pricing 13 / 89 Economics of Interest Rates Basic Objects Market Rates

14 Rates The forward rate is the interest rate at which parties at time t agree to exchange K units of currency at time T 1 and give back Ke R(t,T 1,T 2 )(T 2 T 1 ) units at time T 2. This means, one can lock in an interest rate for a future time period today. The spot rate R(t, T 1 ) is the interest rate (continuous compounding) at which one can borrow money today and has to pay it back at T 1. The instantaneous forward and spot rate are the corresponding interest rates at which one can borrow money for an infinitesimal short period of time.

15 Simple Relations The money account process is defined by { t } B(t) = exp r(s)ds. 0 The interpretation of the money market account is a strategy of instantaneously reinvesting at the current short rate. For t s T we have { } T p(t, T ) = p(t, s) exp f (t, u)du, s and in particular p(t, T ) = exp { T t f (t, s)ds }. Interest Rates Basic Concepts Short Rate Models Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model Contingent Claim Pricing 15 / 89 Economics of Interest Rates Basic Objects Market Rates

16 Simple Spot Rate The simply-compounded spot interest rate prevailing at time t for the maturity T is denoted by L(t, T ) and is the constant rate at which an investment has to be made to produce an amount of one unit of currency at maturity, starting from p(t, T ) units of currency at time t, when accruing occurs proportionally to the investment time. L(t, T ) = 1 p(t, T ) τ(t, T )p(t, T ) (1) Here τ(t, T ) is the daycount for the period [t, T ] (typically T t). Interest Rates Basic Concepts Short Rate Models Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model Contingent Claim Pricing 16 / 89 Economics of Interest Rates Basic Objects Market Rates

17 Simple Spot Rate The bond price can be expressed as p(t, T ) = L(t, T )τ(t, T ). Other daycounts denoted by τ(t, T ) are possible. Notation is motivated by LIBOR rates (London InterBank Offered Rates).

19 Basic Structure We consider models for the short rate of type dr(t) = a(t, r(t))dt + b(t, r(t))dw (t), (2) with functions a, b sufficiently regular and W a real-valued Brownian motion. Interest Rates Basic Concepts Short Rate Models Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model Contingent Claim Pricing 19 / 89

20 Term-Structure Equation Typically we assume that the short-rate dynamics satisfy (2) under the historical (statistical) probability measure P. Then for pricing purposes a pricing measure is used. It relates to the historical measure by means of a function λ(t, r(t)). The Q(λ)-dynamics of r are given by dr(t) = {a(t, r(t)) b(t, r(t))λ(t, r(t))}dt+b(t, r(t))d W (t). (3) Interest Rates Basic Concepts Short Rate Models Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model Contingent Claim Pricing 20 / 89

21 Pricing Contingent Claims For a T -contingent claim X = Φ(r(T )) we know that arbitrage-free prices are obtained by [ ] E Q(λ) e T r(u)du t Φ(r(T )) F t = F (t, r(t)), The function F satisfies the partial differential equation F t + (a bλ)f r b2 F rr rf = 0 (4) and terminal condition F (T, r) = Φ(r). For a zero-coupon bond, we have the terminal condition F (T, r; T ) = 1. Interest Rates Basic Concepts Short Rate Models Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model Contingent Claim Pricing 21 / 89

22 Risk Premium An application of Itô s formula to the process F (t, r(t); T ) yields df (t, r(t); T ) = F (t, r(t); T ) (m(t, T )dt + v(t, T )dw (t)), with the functions m(t, T ) = m(t, r(t); T ) and v(t, T ) = v(t, r(t); T ) given by m = F t + af r b2 F rr F and v = bf r F. The functions m, v 2 are mean and variance, respectively, of the instantaneous rate of return at time t on a bond with maturity date T. Interest Rates Basic Concepts Short Rate Models Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model Contingent Claim Pricing 22 / 89

23 Risk Premium λ satisfies λ = F t + af r b2 F rr rf bf r, or in terms of m, v above, λ(t, r) = m(t, r; T ) r, T t. v(t, r; T ) The numerator m(t, r; T ) r is the risk premium for the T -bond, i.e. the rate of return over the risk-free rate, while in the denominator we have the volatility of the T -bond. So the quotient specifies the risk premium per unit of volatility. The ratio is called the market price of risk. It specifies the expected instantaneous rate of return on a bond per additional unit of risk. Interest Rates Basic Concepts Short Rate Models Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model Contingent Claim Pricing 23 / 89

24 Martingale Modelling For pricing we assume that we model the short-rate dynamics directly under an equivalent pricing measure Q. Thus we assume that r has Q-dynamics dr(t) = a(t, r(t))dt + b(t, r(t))dw (t) (2) with W a (real-valued) Q-Wiener process. We obtain the price process Π X (t) of any T -contingent claim X by computing the Q-expectation, i.e. [ ] Π X (t) = E Q e T r(u)du t X F t. (5) Interest Rates Basic Concepts Short Rate Models Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model Contingent Claim Pricing 24 / 89

25 Martingale Modelling Typically, the contingent claim is of the form X = Φ(r(T )) so the price process is given by Π X (t) = F (t, r(t)), where F is the solution of the partial differential equation F t + af r + b2 2 F rr rf = 0 (6) with terminal condition F (T, r) = Φ(r). In particular, T -bond prices are given by p(t, T ) = F (t, r(t); T ), with F solving (6) and terminal condition F (T, r; T ) = 1.

26 Option Pricing Suppose we want to evaluate the price of a European call option with maturity S and strike K on an underlying T -bond. This means we have to price the S-contingent claim X = max{p(s, T ) K, 0}. We first have to find the price process p(t, T ) = F (t, r; T ) by solving (6) with terminal condition F (T, r; T ) = 1. Secondly, we use the risk-neutral valuation principle to obtain Π X (t) = G(t, r), with G solving G t +ag r + b2 2 G rr rg = 0 and G(S, r) = max{f (S, r; T ) K, 0}. Interest Rates Basic Concepts Short Rate Models Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model Contingent Claim Pricing 26 / 89

27 Option Pricing So we are clearly in need of efficient methods of solving the above partial differential equations, or from a modelling point of view, we need short-rate models that facilate this computational task. Fortunately, there is a class of models, exhibiting an affine term structure (ATS), which allows for simplification. If bond prices are given as p(t, T ) = exp {A(t, T ) B(t, T )r}, 0 t T, with A(t, T ) and B(t, T ) are deterministic functions, we say that the model possesses an affine term structure.

28 Option Pricing In such a model and a(t, r) = α(t) β(t)r b(t, r) = γ(t) + δ(t)r. Then A and B are given as solutions of ordinary differential equations, A t (t, T ) α(t)b(t, T ) + γ(t) 2 B2 (t, T ) = 0, A(T, T ) = 0, (1 + B t (t, T )) β(t)b(t, T ) δ(t) 2 B2 (t, T ) = 0, B(T, T ) = 0.

40 Correlation Consider the Vasicek model dr t = κ(θ r t )dt + σdw t with p(t, T ) = exp(a(t, T ) B(t, T )r t ) and so all rates are given by R(t, T ) = A(t, T ) (T t) + B(t, T ) (T t) r t := a(t, T ) + b(t, T )r t. Consider now the joint distribution of two rates, e.g. T 1 = t + 1 and T 2 = t Then Cov(a(t, T 1 )+b(t, T 1 )r t, a(t, T 2 )+b(t, T 2 )r t ) = b(t, T 1 )b(t, T 2 )Var(r t ). So, since Var(a(t, T i ) + b(t, T i )r t ) = b(t, T i ) 2 Var(r t ) we find that the correlation of R(t, T 1 ) and R(t, T 2 ) is 1!

In this model the market price of risk should be assumed to be of form λ(t, r(t)) = λ r(t) then the structure is preserved under the change of measure.

70 Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model The Heath-Jarrow-Morton model uses the entire forward rate curve as (infinite-dimensional) state variable. The dynamics of the instantaneous, continuously compounded forward rates f (t, T ) are exogenously given by df (t, T ) = α(t, T )dt + σ(t, T )dw (t). For any fixed maturity T, the initial condition of the stochastic differential equation is determined by the current value of the empirical (observed) forward rate for the future date T which prevails at time 0.

73 Forward Risk-neutral Martingale Measures For many valuation problems in the bond market it is more suitable to use the bond price process p(t, T ) as numéraire. One needs an equivalent probability measure Q such that the auxiliary process Z (t, T ) = p(t, T ) p(t, T, t [0, T ], ) is a martingale under Q for T T. This measure is called such a measure forward risk-neutral martingale measure. Interest Rates Basic Concepts Short Rate Models Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model Contingent Claim73 Pricing / 89

74 Forward Risk-neutral Martingale Measures (FRN-EMM) Bond price dynamics under the original probability measure P are given as dp(t, T ) = p(t, T ) {m(t, T )dt + S(t, T )dw (t)}, with m(t, T ) from the HJM-drift condition. Application of Itô s formula to the quotient p(t, T )/p(t, T ) yields dz (t, T ) = Z (t, T ) { m(t, T )dt with + (S(t, T ) S(t, T ))dw (t)}, m(t, T ) = m(t, T ) m(t, T ) S(t, T )(S(t, T ) S(t, T )).

For Z (t, T ) to be a Q -martingale this coefficient has to be zero, and replacing m with its definition we get (A(t, T ) A(t, T )) ( S(t, T ) 2 S(t, T ) 2) = (S(t, T ) + γ(t)) (S(t, T ) S(t, T )).

Then f (t, t) = r(t) t = f (0, t) + ( σ(u, t)s(u, t))du t + σ(u, t)d W (u), 0 which implies that the short-rate as well as the forward rates f (t, T ) have Gaussian probability laws.
