Riassunto

Fixed income volatility and equity volatility evolve heterogeneously over time, co-moving disproportionately during periods of global imbalances and each reacting to events of different nature. While the methodology for options-based "model-free" pricing of equity volatility has been known for some time, little is known about analogous methodologies for pricing various fixed income volatilities.

This book fills this gap and provides a unified evaluation framework of fixed income volatility while dealing with disparate markets such as interest-rate swaps, government bonds, time-deposits and credit. It develops model-free, forward looking indexes of fixed-income volatility that match different quoting conventions across various markets, and uncovers subtle yet important pitfalls arising from naïve superimpositions of the standard equity volatility methodology when pricing various fixed income volatilities.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Fixed income volatility and equityvolatility evolve heterogeneously over time, co-moving disproportionatelyduring periods of global imbalances and each reacting to events of differentnature. While the methodology for options-based "model-free" pricingof equity volatility has been known for some time, little is known aboutanalogous methodologies for pricing various fixed income volatilities.

This book fills this gap and provides aunified evaluation framework of fixed income volatility while dealing withdisparate markets such as interest-rate swaps, government bonds, time-depositsand credit. It develops model-free, forward looking indexes of fixed-incomevolatility that match different quoting conventions across various markets, anduncovers subtle yet important pitfalls arising from naïve superimpositions ofthe standard equity volatility methodology when pricing various fixed incomevolatilities.

The ultimate goal of the authors´ effortsis to make interest rate volatility standardization a valuable channel ofinformation, helping design signal generation and trading strategies, or, tomention another example, informing policy makers about how decisions andcommunication affect ongoing developments in fixed income volatility. Moregenerally, this work will help inform the public about how uncertainty isperceived by key players in one of the most important segments in the wholecapital market.
