Abstract
This paper studies a model proposed by Baaquie (Phys A Stat Mech Appl 541:123367, 2020b) for which a corporate bond pays coupons that are stochastic—depending on the valuation of the issuer. It is shown that by considering bonds with stochastic coupons that are ‘equivalent’ to fixed coupon bonds (defined in the paper), the price of the fixed coupon bond can be accurately explained. The proposed model of stochastic coupons has a built-in hedge for the issuer—and has the feature of profit and loss sharing between investor and issuer making it a viable instrument for Islamic finance.
本文研究了 Baaquie(Phys A Stat Mech Appl 541:123367, 2020b)提出的一个模型,该模型中公司债券的票息是随机的--取决于发行人的估值。结果表明,通过考虑 "等同于 "固定息票债券(本文定义)的随机息票债券,可以准确解释固定息票债券的价格。所提出的随机息票模型为发行人提供了一个内置的对冲工具,并且具有投资者与发行人之间盈亏共担的特点,使其成为伊斯兰金融的一种可行工具。
