Abstract
In this paper, we present an alternative perspective on the mean-field LIBOR market model introduced by Desmettre et al. (Int J Theor Appl Finance, 2022. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0219024922500054). Our novel approach embeds the mean-field model in a classical setup, but retains the crucial feature of controlling the term rate's variances over large time horizons. This maintains the market model's practicability, since calibrations and simulations can be carried out efficiently without nested simulations. In addition, we show that our framework can be directly applied to model in-arrear term rates derived from SOFR, ESTR or other nearly risk-free overnight short-term rates-a crucial feature since many IBOR rates are gradually being replaced. These results are complemented by a calibration study and some theoretical arguments which allow to estimate the probability of unrealistically high rates in the presented market models.
期刊介绍：
Actuarial science and actuarial finance deal with the study, modeling and managing of insurance and related financial risks for which stochastic models and statistical methods are available. Topics include classical actuarial mathematics such as life and non-life insurance, pension funds, reinsurance, and also more recent areas of interest such as risk management, asset-and-liability management, solvency, catastrophe modeling, systematic changes in risk parameters, longevity, etc. EAJ is designed for the promotion and development of actuarial science and actuarial finance. For this, we publish original actuarial research papers, either theoretical or applied, with innovative applications, as well as case studies on the evaluation and implementation of new mathematical methods in insurance and actuarial finance. We also welcome survey papers on topics of recent interest in the field. EAJ is the successor of six national actuarial journals, and particularly focuses on links between actuarial theory and practice. In order to serve as a platform for this exchange, we also welcome discussions (typically from practitioners, with a length of 1-3 pages) on published papers that highlight the application aspects of the discussed paper. Such discussions can also suggest modifications of the studied problem which are of particular interest to actuarial practice. Thus, they can serve as motivation for further studies.Finally, EAJ now also publishes ‘Letters’, which are short papers (up to 5 pages) that have academic and/or practical relevance and consist of e.g. an interesting idea, insight, clarification or observation of a cross-connection that deserves publication, but is shorter than a usual research article. A detailed description or proposition of a new relevant research question, short but curious mathematical results that deserve the attention of the actuarial community as well as novel applications of mathematical and actuarial concepts are equally welcome. Letter submissions will be reviewed within 6 weeks, so that they provide an opportunity to get good and pertinent ideas published quickly, while the same refereeing standards as for other submissions apply. Both academics and practitioners are encouraged to contribute to this new format. Authors are invited to submit their papers online via http://euaj.edmgr.com.
