This article identifies conditions on the volatility structure of forward rates that permit the dynamics of the term structure to be represented by a finite-dimensional state variable Markov process. In the deterministic volatility case, we interpret then-factor model as a sum ofn unidimensional models.展开更多

The conventional measure methods of interest rate risk are reviewed and the duration concept is generalized to stochastic duration in the Markovian HJM framework. The generalized stochastic duration of the coupon bond is defined as the time to maturity of a zero coupon bond having the same instantaneous variance as the coupon bond. According to this definition., the authors first present the framework of Markovian HJM model, then deduce the measures of stochastic duration in some special cases which cover some extant interest term structure.展开更多
