MatLab: Pricing Bermudan Swaptions in the LMM using Steffen Hippler's Code Fragments

August 27th, 2013, 8:37 am

Hi everyone,I am currently trying to run Steffen Hippler's Code (Steffen Hippler's Thesis). I have seen that already some else in this forum tried to do so. However, he does not answer at all, that's why I opened a new post.Has anyone else already tried to do so?The Calibration to CoTerminal Swaptions seems to work. But I have some problems with the simulation in line 49 and 50. x = tril(BondPrices(-1, tril(rates))); denomY = tril(BondPrices(-1, tril(rates)),-1); Does anyone know where the Matrix BondPrices come from? This Variable is not defined and never used somewhere else.I appreciate any hints.Kind regards

The link doesn't seem to work. Sorry about that. You can find his thesis by simply google: "Pricing Bermudan Swaptions in the LIBOR Market Model Steffen Hippler"

Hi Fone,the bond price should be the prices of zero coupon bonds, thus, the discount factors. In a single curve framework you can get the prices direclty from the forwards you use as the starting values.If you send the code I can have a look.Best regards,Lapsi
