Bond Price by Monte Carlo

<t>I am getting confused. Is the bond price has to be calculated using the below formula?P(t,T)=A(t,T)*exp(-B(t,T)*r(t) where dr = (theta(t)-a*r)*dt+sig*dW by Monte Carlo.or simply P(0,T) = product( d(0,1)*d(1,2)*...*d(T-1,T)) where d(i,j) = 1/(1+r(i,j)*dt)basically, I can generate the r, but I dont...

Bond Price by Monte Carlo

<t>I generated r according to dr= (theta(t)-a*r)dt+ sig*sqrt(dt)*ZThus r(i,j) is the interest developed according to HW at 'i'th time stepand 'j'th scenario. For discounting, I took discount factor as dt period discount i.e d(i,j) = 1/(1+r(i,j)*dt)Then I averaged it, I am not getting consistant resu...

VaR

AndreaClaudia, Could you be little clear. I meant VaR as a risk measure.If quantile is different from VaR, do they relate each other?If so what is the relation?

VaR

Is "Quantile" same as "Value at Risk" (VaR)? otherwise how are they related?

Bond Price by Monte Carlo

I know how to price a bond using HW Affine Term Structure Model using Formulas. But how do one could use Monte Carlo for the same? Any paper, link or idea is most welcome.I am trying to do it using Excel and VBA.

Valuation of Option using Monte Carlo Simulation of a Portfolio of Assets

<t>Well So for I understood,In a risk neutral world, solution of Geometric Brownian Motion dXt = r*X*dt+sig*X*dW1t, is Xt = X0*exp((r-sig^2/2)t+sig*W1t) where W1t is a Wiener process. 'r' the short rate follows HW Model, which is described by dr=(theta(t)-ar)*dt+sig_hw*dW2twhere W2t is also a Wiener...
