Interest rate option pricing with volatility humps

Peter Ritchken and Iyuan Chuang

No 9714, Working Paper from Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland

Abstract: A development of a simple model in which interest rate claims are priced in the Heath-Jarrow-Morton paradigm and so incorporate full information on the term structure. The volatility structure for forward rates is humped and includes as a special case the exponentially dampened volatility structure used in the generalized Vasicek model.
