Need help on CIR implementation

If I got your point, I don´t have a good news to you. CIR models are not able to match empirical Term Structure. To do that you need use HJM framework, try for instance, HO & Lee or Hull & WHite

Volatility Swap

<t>Alan,Thank you for your valuable suggestions. By the way, some months ago, when I was a graduate student, you kindly sent a Xerox form a book of yours. This one helped me to finish a chapter, once again, many thanks. Besides have been studying swap volatility I wrote a paper based on my master th...

Volatility Swap

Let me organize my ideas,If my aim is calculate the fixed leg of volatility swap I have to compute two quantities1)Numerically integrate the expression (I), 2)Divide the above result by for sqrt(T) Am I right?

Volatility Swap

<t>Exactly I solved numerically expression (I) to get swaps rate belowUsing my matlab code and BCC parameters I got the following values. Just to remember that T is measured in year, so T =1 implies swap maturity time occurs after 1 yearT = 1 Swap Rate = 0.18324473019382T= 10 Swap Rate = 0.677525513...

Volatility Swap

<t>Alan,I read your reply again, but I am not able to answer your question. To me, as T became larger the fixed leg should converge to 0.04 (the long run variance).Using Numerical integration to calculate the expression (I) at pdf file I got the “exact” value to fixed leg and the constant C doesn’t ...
