问题如下:
Jack Ma, FRM, is studying difference model, including mean-reverting models, no-drift models, models that incorporate drift, and Ho-Lee models. Ma makes the following statements about the appropriate usage of these models:
Statement 1: Both Model 1 (no drift) and the Vasicek model assume non-parallel shifts from changes in the short-term rate.
Statement 2: The Vasicek model implies decreasing volatility in short-term rates while Model 1 assumes constant volatility of future short-term rates.
Statement 3: The Model 2 (constant drift model) is a more flexible model than the Ho-Lee model.
How many of the statements is/are incorrect?
选项:
A.0
B.1
C.2
D.3
解释:
C is correct.
考点:Term structure models
解析:要求选错误的陈述有几个。
Statement 1不正确. Model 1 assume parallel shifts from changes in the short-term rate.
Statement 2 正确.
Statement 3不正确.The Ho-Lee model is actually more general than Model 2, as no drift and constant drift models are special cases of the Ho-Lee model.
因此,有2个陈述错了,答案选C。
Statement 2: The Vasicek model implies decreasing volatility in short-term rates while Model 1 assumes constant volatility of future short-term rates.
这句话V模型里面的西格玛是恒定的,但为什么是decrease?老师之前的提问里说这是r的波动率,不是西格玛,可是西格玛不就是r的波动吗?难道西格玛是什么别的东西的波动?
还有第二个问题。到底什么是平行移动?我怎么感觉有constant的drift才算平行移动?
还有第三个问题。V模型里面,(θ-r)的这个r,在第一个node运算的时候是r0,那到了第二个node,这个r要套上一步的结果变成r1还是说还带入r0?谢谢
