Abstract: We develop a general class of multi-curve potential models for post-crisis interest rates. Our model features positive stochastic basis spreads, positive term structures, and analytic pricing formulae for interest rate derivatives. Making a quanto interpretation of LIBOR lending transactions, we use a multi-currency analogy to model multiple term structures and formulate a general, tractable model of multiple term structures. As a special case of our approach, we obtain a rational lognormal model that extends the original Flesaker–Hughston (1996) rational lognormal model to a multi-curve setting. In this setting we obtain analytic pricing formulae for caps and swaptions.
