On pricing of interest rate derivatives

Abstract

At present, there is an explosion of practical interest in the pricing of interest rate (IR) derivatives. Textbook pricing methods do not take into account the leptokurticity of the underlying IR process. In this paper, such a leptokurtic behavior is illustrated using London interbank offered rate data, and a possible martingale pricing scheme is discussed.
