2 A CONTROL VARIATE METHOD FOR MONTE CARLO SIMULATIONS OF HEATH-JARROW-MORTON MODELS WITH JUMPS CARL CHIARELLA, CHRISTINA NIKITOPOULOS SKLIBOSIOS AND ERIK SCHLÖGL School of Finance and Economics Universiy of Technology, Sydney PO Box 123 Broadway, NSW 27 Ausralia Ph: Fax: carl.chiarella@us.edu.au, chrisina.nikiopoulos@us.edu.au, erik.schlogl@us.edu.au Absrac. This paper examines he pricing of ineres rae derivaives when he ineres rae dynamics experience infrequen jump shocks modelled as a Poissorocess and wihin he Markovian HJM framework developed in Chiarella & Nikiopoulos 23. Closed form soluions for he price of a bond opion under deerminisic volailiy specificaions are derived and a conrol variae numerical mehod is developed under a more general sae dependen volailiy srucure, a case in which closed form soluions are generally no possible. In doing so, we provide a novel perspecive on he conrol variae mehods by going ouside a given complex model o a simpler more racable seing o provide he conrol variaes. Keywords: HJM model, jump process, bond opiorices, conrol variae, Mone Carlo simulaions. JEL Classificaion: E43, G33, G INTRODUCTION Ineres rae derivaives are securiies, he payoffs of which depend in some way on he level of ineres raes. The value of an ineres-rae opion is subsanially affeced by he presence of skewness and kurosis in he ineres raes. The kurosis explains he smile effec 1 and resuls in fa-ailed disribuions. The skewness resuls in asymmeric ineres rae disribuions ha mach wih he empirically observed disribuional profile of he ineres raes. Jump-diffusion and sochasic volailiy models demonsrae an abiliy o accommodae hese feaures, providing a modelling seing which explicily incorporaes Dae: Curren Version Sepember 12, The shape of he implied volailiies exraced from raded opiorices by invering he Black & Scholes 1973 or Black 1976 opioricing formula, whichever is applicable for a range of differen srikes is called he smile. The smile implies ha a-he-money opions rade a lower volailiies while he opions away from he money rade a higher volailiies. 1

However, hese classes of models come a he expense of an increasing complexiy ha makes i impossible in mos cases o derive closed form or compuaionally racable soluions for derivaive prices. Mos of he ineres rae models under jump-diffusions do no readily admi closed form soluions for derivaive prices even when he jump sizes are consan or drawn from well known disribuions such as normal and log-normal. Therefore, mos of he sudies in his area use numerical approximaion mehods o evaluae ineres rae insrumens, including hose of Ahn & Thompson 1988, Ahn 1988, Mercurio & Runggaldier 1993, Naik & Lee 1995, Baz & Das 1996 and Das Baes 1996, Duffie & Kan 1996 and Chacko & Das 22 have considered more advanced models of sochasic volailiy wih jumps. The work of Jamshidian 1989, Shirakawa 1991, Heson 1993 sochasic volailiy seing, Das & Foresi 1996 and Glasserman & Kou 23 provides closed form evaluaion formulas for bonds and bond opions in more specialised cases. This paper presens wo classes of erm srucure models ha incorporae jump behavior of ineres raes and more general volailiy specificaions bu also mainain racabiliy in he pricing of ineres rae derivaives. More specifically, we derive closed form soluions for bond opions under deerminisic volailiy specificaions and a numerical soluion under he more general sochasic volailiy case, which is, however, numerically racable and efficien due o he fac ha he erm srucure model developed admis finie dimensional Markovian represenaions. The Markovianisaion of he jump-diffusion version of he HJM model employed here, even under sae dependen volailiy specificaions, has been achieved by a suiable choice of volailiy funcions, as explained in Chiarella & Nikiopoulos 23. For he deerminisic volailiy se-up, we consider a parameerisaion of he Shirakawa 1991 model of he erm srucure of ineres raes under jump-diffusions. Under an appropriae equivalen probabiliy measure, we consider opioricing wihin his framework. We use Fourier ransform echniques o obain a represenaion of he soluion. A racable Black-Scholes ype pricing formula is derived under he assumpion of a consan jump volailiy funcion. An exension of he Shirakawa 1991 framework is also considered, in which he volailiy evolves sochasically, by means of a volailiy funcion dependen on he sae variables of he sysem. Again under an appropriae equivalen probabiliy measure, we sudy he pricing of bond opions. In his case, however, closed form valuaion formulas are no available. Taking he sae dependen volailiy specificaions of he ype discussed in Chiarella & Nikiopoulos 23, he ineres rae dynamics become Markovian in a finie dimensional sae variable and hus all he quaniies involved such as forward raes or bond prices can be expressed in erms of his sae variable. Taking advanage of hese Markovian represenaions, we employ hese paricular Markovian srucures o obain approximae bond opiorices by use of he Mone Carlo mehod. We furher improve he efficiency of he Mone Carlo mehod by using a conrol variae echnique, ha makes use of he closed form soluions obained in he deerminisic volailiy seing. This paper is srucured as follows. In Secion 2 we develop he deerminisic volailiy model. We solve he bond opioricing equaion using Fourier Transform echniques and we obain closed form soluions for European bond opions under consan jump volailiy specificaions. In Secion 3 he sae dependen volailiy model is considered

We es he accuracy of he Mone Carlo resuls in he deerminisic volailiy model, since closed form soluions are available in his case. In addiion, we numerically evaluae bond opions under he sochasic volailiy model. Finally by combining boh models and closed form soluions, we develop a conrol variae mehod ha significanly reduces compuaional effor and improves accuracy. Secion 5 concludes and provides fuure direcions for research. 2. The Deerminisic Volailiy Model We denoe as f, T he insananeous forward ineres rae a ime for insananeous borrowing a ime T. Then he price a ime of a discoun zero-coupon bond wih mauriy T, denoed by P, T, is defined as P, T = exp T f, sds, 1 so ha PT, T = 1. On he filered probabiliy space Ω, F, P, 2 we assume ha he dynamics of he insananeous forward rae f, T are driven by boh Gaussian and Poisson risk erms and given by df, T = α, Td n w σ i, TdW i β i, T[dQ i λ i d], 2 where α : [, T] R is he drif funcion, W i are sandard Wiener processes i = 1, 2,...,n w, σ i : [, T] R are ime deerminisic volailiy funcions associaed wih he Wiener noise processes, Q i is a Poissorocess wih consan inensiy λ i i = 1, 2,...,, and β i : [, T] R are ime deerminisic volailiy funcions associaed wih he Poisson noise processes. The Poissorocess Q i is employed o model he arrival ime of he jump evens. Thus, he jump feaure is modelled by a mulivariae poin process, allowing for a finie number of jumps. 3 A number of empirical sudies, including Chiarella & Tô 23, sugges ha differen ypes of shocks impac differenly across he forward curve. The specificaion in equaion 2 generalises slighly he Shirakawa 1991 volailiy srucure by allowing he Gaussian noise and Poisson noise o have separae volailiy srucures. In sochasic inegral equaion form, equaion 2 may be wrien as f,t = f,t αs,tds n w σ i s,tdw i s β i s,t[dq i s λ i ds]. 3 Thus he sochasic inegral equaion for he insananeous spo rae r is expressed as n w n p r f, = f, αs, ds σ i s, dw i s β i s, [dq i s λ i ds], 2 In more formal noaion we assume ha Ω, F, F T, P is he probabiliy space equipped wih he naural filraion of a vecor of sandard Brownian moions W i i = 1, 2,..., n w and he Poisson processes Q i wih inensiy λ i i = 1, 2,...,, indexed on he ime inerval [, T]. 3 Runggaldier 22 provides a good survey of jump-diffusion models. 4

Taking ino accoun ha he dynamics of he spo rae are given by 5 and using he jump-diffusion version of Io s lemma we derive he sochasic differenial equaion for he bond opiorice as dc = C n w ϑ β i, λ i σ i, C r dw i C r 1 2 n w σi 2, 2 C r 2 d 11 [Cr β i,,, T C Cr,, T C ]dq i. In he nex secion, we develop he classical hedging porfolio argumen in he bond opion marke, in he spiri of he original Black-Scholes hedging approach, o derive he bond opioricing parial differenial-difference equaion Hedging Argumen in he Bond Opion Marke. In his bond opion marke, given n w sources of risk, n w due o he Gaussiarocesses W i and due o he Poissorocesses Q i, we consider a hedging porfolio conaining a bond wih mauriy T and n o = n w bond opions of mauriies T 1, T 2,, T no. All hese opions are wrien on he same bond having mauriy T. By aking an appropriae posiion in bonds and bond opions, i is possible o eliminae boh Gaussian and Poisson risks. The condiion ha he riskless hedged porfolio earns he risk-free rae of ineres r, implies 4 See Björk, Kabanov & Runggaldier 1997 for deails of he manipulaions.

The boundary condiions in he case of a call bond opion price wih exercise price E are and CrT C, T C, T C = PrT C, T C, T E, 14 C,, T C =, as a resul of he condiion on he bond price ha P,, T =. Noe ha he gis of he argumen is esablishing no-arbirage consisency among a se of insrumens sufficien o complee he marke. Thus we may derive he condiions 12 and 13 by using alernaive porfolios, for insance a porfolio consising of a bond opion and n o bonds. In deriving he maringale represenaion of he bond opiorice, he money marke accoun has been iniially used as he numeraire. By changing he numeraire, he bond opioricing equaion can be formulaed wihin a framework similar o ha used by Meron 1976 o evaluae sock opions involving Gaussian-Poisson risk. Furher he price of he zero-coupon bond wih mauriy T C will be employed as he numeraire for bond opioricing. For every fixed finie ime horizon T, we can obain a unique equivalen probabiliy measure P, under which he W i = φ isdsw i are sandard Wiener processes and he Q i are Poissorocesses wih inensiy ψ i. Thus imposing he drif resricion 13 on equaion 7, he dynamics for P, T C, he zero coupon bond mauring a bond opion mauriy, under P, are given by nw n dp, T C P, T C = rd p ζ i, T C d W i 1 e ξ i,t C [dq i ψ i d] Noe ha he underlying Gaussian and jump risks dwi, dq i driving he opiorice dynamics are he same as hose driving he bond price dynamics and he insananeous spo rae dynamics, hus he marke price of hese risks will be he same as hose in he bond hedging porfolio. 6 See Appendix 1 for deails on he developmen of he coninuous hedging argumen.

C Define he relaive opion and bond prices wih respec o he price of a zero-coupon bond ha has he same mauriy T C as he opion as and 16 Y = Cr,, T C Pr,, T C, 17 X = Pr,, T Pr,, T C, 18 respecively. An applicaion of he jump-diffusion version of he Io s lemma gives he dynamics for Y 7 as nw dy Y = ζ i, T C σ i C [d W i ζ i, T C d] C r Cr βi,, T C Cr,, T C e ξ i,t C 1 [dq i ψ i e ξ i,t C d], and he dynamics for X as nw dx X = ζ i, T C ζ i, T [d W i ζ i, T C d] e ξ i,t e ξ i,t C 1[dQ i ψ i e ξ i,t C d]. By an applicaion of Girsanov s heorem, a new measure P may be found under which he new processes specified here in incremen form are sandard Gaussiarocesses, and 19 2 dw i = d W i ζ i, T C d, 21 dq i = dq i ψ i e ξ i,t C d, 22 are Poissorocesses associaed wih he inensiy vecor Ψ = ψ 1 e ξ 1,T C, ψ 2 e ξ 2,T C,... ψ n e ξn,t C. I follows from 19 and 2 ha he relaive opiorice Y and he relaive bond price X are maringales under P and using he expecaion operaor E under his new measure, we may wrie Y = E [Y T C F ], 23 7 See Appendix 2 for deails.

By using he definiion of Y, 8 equaion 23 expands o Cr,, T C Pr,, T C = E [ ] Cr, TC, T C Pr, T C, T C F = E [ Pr, T C, T E ] F = E [ XT C E F ]. Therefore, he relaive opiorice Y can be expressed as a funcion of he relaive bond price X, i.e., 24 Y X, = E [ XT C E F ]. 25 The value of he adjused opion 9 Y X, is driven by he dynamics for X, which are given by equaion 2. Given he assumpion on he volailiy funcion, his process reduces o a form ha pus us essenially in he framework used by Meron o price sock opions under a geomeric jump-diffusiorocess, he only difference being ha he coefficiens of he sochasic differenial equaion are ime dependen. Applicaion of he Feynman-Kac Theorem for processes wih jumps o equaion 25 leads o he parial differenial-difference equaion Y n w e ξ i,t C e ξ i,t ψ i X Y X 1 ζ i, T C ζ i, T 2 X 2 2 Y 2 X 2 ψ i e ξ i,t C subjec o he boundary condiion Y X e ξ i,t e ξ i,t C Y X =, 26 lim Y X, = XT C E. 27 T C In he nex secion, a echnique o solve he parial differenial-difference equaion 26 is proposed, by employing Fourier Transform mehods, ha will lead o a pricing formula for he bond opion. The Fourier Transform provides a quie general framework for solving parial differenial equaions of financial economics, since i handles a variey of pricing frameworks such as he jump-diffusion seing or he American opioroblem Soluion o he Opion Pricing Equaion by Fourier Transform Techniques. By changing he variable X o he logarihmic variable Z = lnx and defining he new funcion ΥZ, = Y e Z, 8 Recall ha Cr,, TC is he value of a European opion wrien on a bond wih mauriy T hus Cr, T C, T C = Pr, T C, T E and Pr, T C, T C = 1. 9 The value of he opion under he new TC-forward measure is given by C, T C = P, T CE PTC, T E F. 1 See for example Carr & Madan 1999 and Chiarella, Kucera & Ziogas 1999.

By employing Fourier ransform echniques, as Appendix 3 shows, he funcion Υω, saisfies an ordinary differenial equaion wih complex coefficiens having soluion Υω, = Υω,T C exp where { T C c, T C = 1 T C υ, T C = 1 T C σ 2, T C = 1 T C ξω,, T C = 1 T C c,t C iω[υ,t C 12 σ2,t C ] ω2 2 σ2,t C ξω,,t C TC TC TC n w TC By he Fourier inversion heorem, we have ha ΥZ, = 1 2π 31 ψ i se ξ is,t C ds, 32 ψ i s e ξ is,t C e ξ is,t ds, 33 ζ i s, T C ζ i s, T 2 ds, 34 iω ψ i se ξ is,t C e ξ is,t e ξ ds. 35 is,t C Thus, by subsiuing 31 ino 36 we obain ΥZ, = e T C c,t C 2π Υω, e iωz dω. 36 }, Υω, T C e iω[υ,t C 1 2 σ2,t C ]T C Z ω2 2 σ2,t C T C ξω,,t C T C dω,

10 MONTE CARLO SIMULATIONS OF HJM MODELS WITH JUMPS 9 and by changing he variable Z back o he variable X recall ha Z = lnx, we obain Y X, = e c,t CT C where he kernel K is defined by KZ, X, = 1 2π Y e Z, T C KZ, X, dz, 37 e iω[υ,t C 1 2 σ2,t C ]T C ln X Z ω2 2 σ2,t C T C ξω,,t C T C dω. Thus, he value of a call bond opion can be expressed as Cr,, T C = e c,t CT C Pr,, T C ln E 38 e Z EKZ, X, dz. 39 Unlike he corresponding resul in Meron s jump-diffusion sock opion model, i does no seem possible o proceed furher wih 39 and obain a closed form soluion under he more general volailiy specificaions. This is apparenly due o he erm e ξ i s,t e ξ i s,t C iω in he expression for ξω,, TC in equaion 38 for he kernel K. Since in Meron s analysis he coefficiens of his inegro parial differenial equaion were no ime varying his erm reduces o 1 allow him o obain closed form soluions Consan Jump Volailiy Case. We will show in his secion ha resricing he model o consan jump volailiies will provide closed form soluions for he opion price. Assumpion 2.1. For i = 1,...,, he deerminisic Wiener volailiy srucure is of he form σ i s, = σ i se Ê s κ σiudu, 4 and for i = 1,...,n w, he Poisson volailiy funcions are of he form where β i are consan. β i s, = β i, 41 Under Assumpion 2.1 he quaniy ξω,, T C in 35 simplifies o ξω,, T C = 1 T C ψ i e β it T C iω β i 1 e β it C, 42 which simplifies furher he erm e ξω,,t CT C and allows us o complee he inversion of he Fourier Transform.

By an applicaion of he Taylor expansion of e x = p= xp p! we wrie [ e ξω,,t CT C ψi 1 e β i T C ] = exp = = p= p 1 = p 2 = ς p i p! epµ iiω... p np = β i ς p 1 1 p 1! ς p 2 2 e β it T C iω p np p 2!... ς p np! ep 1µ 1 p 2 µ 2...p np µ np iω 46 where ς i = ψ i1 e β i T C β i and µ i = β i T T C. Subsiuing he expression 46 ino he kernel funcion 38 and simplifying, we obain KZ, X, = 1 2π... p 1 = p 2 = p np = ς p 1 1 p 1! ς p 2 2 p np p 2!... ς p np! e iω[υ,t C 1 2 σ2,t C ]T C ln X Zp 1 µ 1 p 2 µ 2...p np µ np ω2 2 σ2,t C T C dω. 47 By using he resul π e qω ω2 dω = e q 2 4, 48 we are able o evaluae he inegral expression in 47, o derive 1 ς p 1 KZ, X, = 1 ς p πTC σ, T C p p 1 = p 2 = p np = 1! p 2!... ς p np p np! { exp [υ, T } C 1 2 σ2, T C ]T C lnx Z p 1 µ 1 p 2 µ 2... p np µ np 2 2σ 2., T C T C 49 Thus equaion 37 reduces o Y X, = e c,t CT C ln E... p 1 = p 2 = p np = ς p 1 1 p 1! ς p 2 2 p np p 2!... ς p np! e Z E 2πTC σ, T C e [υ,t C 1 2 σ 2,T C ]T C ln X Zp 1 µ 1 p 2 µ 2...pnp µnp2 2σ 2,T C T C dz.

The closed form bond opioricing formula derived is in he spiri of Shirakawa s 1991 closed form bond opion evaluaion resuls, in which he Poisson risk was assumed o be binomial, however here we provide a pricing formula allowing for muli-facor Poisson risk Markovian Spo Rae Dynamics under a Deerminisic Volailiy Srucure. Wihin he jump-diffusion framework and under paricular volailiy specificaions, he above erm srucure model admis a finie dimensional Markovian represenaion. These resuls are obained and presened in Nikiopoulos 25, however in his secion, we summarise he main resuls obained under deerminisic Wiener volailiies and consan jump volailiies, which are he volailiy specificaions ha lead o a closed form soluion for he bond opiorice as we have seen in he previous secion. Subsiuion of he condiion 13 ino 4, leads o he spo rae dynamics under he risk neural measure, which are of he form r = f, n w n w σ i s, ζ i s, ds σ i s, d W i s ψ i sβ i s, [1 e ξ is, ]ds β i s, [dq i s ψ i sds]. 51 Assume he case of deerminisic volailiy specificaions wih consan jump volailiies described in Assumpion 2.1. Using resuls from Nikiopoulos 25 and Chiarella & Nikiopoulos 23 Markovian spo rae dynamics can be obained under hese volailiy specificaions. For volailiy specificaions saisfying Assumpion 2.1, he dynamics for he spo rae 51 can be expressed in erms of a number of Markovian sochasic quaniies, See Proposiion of Nikiopoulos 25 for deails as [ n w n p ] dr = D ˆκ σi D σi κ σ1 D βi κ σ1 r d n w i=2 σ i d W i β i [dq i ψ i d], See Appendix 4 for deailed evaluaion of he inegrals.

14 MONTE CARLO SIMULATIONS OF HJM MODELS WITH JUMPS The Sae Dependen Volailiy Model The sae dependen forward rae volailiy srucure is specified by allowing he Wiener volailiies o depend on f = r, f, T 1, f, T 2,...,f, T ns, a vecor of sae dependen variables including he insananeous spo rae and insananeous forward raes of differen fixed mauriies.

Mone Carlo Simulaions Mone Carlo simulaion for derivaive pricing, when he underlying asse follows a mulivariae sae dependen volailiy jump-diffusiorocess, is exremely inensive compuaionally, as he variance of he sampled variable is usually large and for N sample pahs he sandard errors of he Mone Carlo simulaions decreases only as 1/ N. To improve he Mone Carlo efficiency, one should employ some sor of variance reducion mehodology, namely aniheic variable, conrol variaes, sraified sampling and imporance sampling and/or use low discrepancy sequences. A conrol variae echnique was developed by Chiarella, Clewlow & Musi 23 for a sae dependen volailiy HJM model when he forward rae dynamics are driven by diffusiorocesses.

Typically a conrol variae mehod is applied o anoher closely relaed insrumen priced in he same model, whereas here he conrol variae is he same insrumen priced in a closely relaed model. Under hese model specificaions he sae variables evolve differenly. However, he sae variables can be seen as simply wo differen ses of funcions of he driving Wiener and Poissorocesses, which are he same in boh models. Therefore, he conrol variae mehod will be correcly used if he sae variables of he wo models considered are highly correlaed. Table 7 presens he correlaion coefficiens of he sae variables, which are common in hese wo classes of models, and hese are he r, D β1 and D β2. The sae variables are clearly highly posiively correlaed, hus one can reasonably expec he conrol variae mehod o be effecive in his conex. Thus, he combinaion of hese Markovian srucures wih a conrol variae mehod provides an efficien numerical scheme ha may yield good resuls in Mone Carlo simulaion even wih a relaively small number of simulaed pahs.

Conclusions This paper develops wo models o price bond opions when ineres raes are subjec o jumps. In he firs model, boh Wiener and Poisson volailiies are ime dependen, and working wihin he Shirakawa general HJM model, we have derived he parial differenial-difference equaion for he pricing of bond opions. In addiion, by employing Fourier ransform echniques, bond opiorices have been evaluaed and an easily racable Black-Scholes ype bond opioricing formula under he assumpion of consan jump volailiy has been derived. In he second model, he volailiy srucure is more general, by allowing for sae dependen Wiener volailiies and ime dependen Poisson volailiies. In his second model, i is difficul o explicily solve he bond opion pricing problem, herefore Mone Carlo simulaion echniques are used o evaluae bond opions. However, under appropriae volailiy funcions, he erm srucures obained for boh models display Markovian dynamics. These Markovian represenaions conribue o increase he efficiency and accuracy of he applicaion of he Mone Carlo simulaions. Addiionally, aking advanage of he closed form soluions obained under he deerminisic volailiy seing, we employ a conrol variae mehod ha significanly improves he efficiency of he numerical procedure. The imporan characerisic of he soluions for bond opiorices proposed in his paper is ha hey incorporae he complexiy of a sochasic volailiy and/or jumpdiffusion model alhough hey enjoy compuaional racabiliy due o he Markovian srucures used.
