问题如下:
Which of the various statements regarding binomial interest rate trees is correct?
选项:
A. Statement 1
B. Statement 2
C. Statement 3
解释:
B is correct.
Two methods are commonly used to estimate potential interest rate volatility in a binomial interest rate tree. The first method bases estimates on historical interest rate volatility. The second method uses observed market prices of interest rate derivatives.
Statement 1 is incorrect because there are three requirements to create a binomial interest rate tree, not two. The third requirement is an assumption regarding the interest rate model. Statement 3 is incorrect because the valuation of a bond using spot rates and the valuation of a bond from an interest rate tree will be the same regardless of the volatility assumption used in the model.
想问老师statement3中,如果是含权债券,两种方法得到的价格就不等了吧?而且事实上含权债券也不能用spot rate 算?感觉题目问的不是很明确
