Regarding the validity of time-dependent drift models, which of the following statements is(are) correct?
i. Time-dependent drift models are flexible since volatility from period to period can change. However, volatility must be an increasing function of short-term rate volatilities.
ii. Time-dependent volatility functions are useful for pricing interest rate caps and floors.
选项:
A.I only.
B.II only.
C.Both I and II.
D.Neither I nor II.
解释:
Time-dependent volatility models are very flexible and can incorporate increasing, decreasing, and constant short-term rate volatilities between periods. This flexibility is useful for valuing interest rate caps and floors because there is a potential payout each period, so the flexibility of changing interest rates is more appropriate than applying a constant volatility model.
