Published / Preprint: The Long-Term Swap Rate and a General Analysis of Long-Term Interest Rates. (arXiv:1507.00208v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 01 Jul 2015 05:37 PM PDT

We introduce here for the first time the long-term swap rate, characterised as the fair rate of an overnight indexed swap with infinitely many exchanges.

We finally investigate the existence of these...

Posted: 01 Jul 2015 05:36 PM PDT

Extending It\^o's formula to non-smooth functions is important both in theory and applications. One of the fairly general extensions of the formula, known as Meyer-It\^o, applies to one dimensional semimartingales and convex functions. There are also satisfactory generalizations of It\^o's formula for diffusion processes where the Meyer-It\^o assumptions are weakened even further....
