问题如下:
Model 1 assumes zero drift and is also called a normal model. Model 2 add a term for drift. Each of the following is true about these two models except for:
选项:
A. A weakness of Model 1 is that the short-term
rate can become negative.
B. Model 1 implies a term structure that is
perfectly flat at the current rate for all maturities, including the long-term
rates.
C. Model 2 is more capable of producing an upward-sloping
term structure, which is often observed.
D. Model 2 is an equilibrium model, rather than
an arbitrage-free model, because no attempt is made to match the term structure
closely.
解释:
B is correct.
考点Term Structure Models
解析Under Model 1, it is true that the middle node recombines to the same current node. But these are future short-term rates; they are not the term structure: the term structure is spot rates at all maturities. Models that take the initial term structure implied by market prices are called arbitrage-free models. A different approach, however, is to start with assumptions about the interest rate process and about the risk premium demanded by the market for bearing interest rate risk and then derive the risk-neutral process. Models of this sort do not necessarily match the initial term structure and are called equilibrium models.
还是不太懂,麻烦解答一下
