On the valuation of an option to exchange interest rate for another

Article Abstract:

Two mathematical models were used to evaluate the the pricing of a European option on the difference of two interest rates. The valuation of yield-curve spread options were used to stress the significance of correlations. Results indicate that one-factor models are ineffective for valuing such options. Level of changeability of the term structure and its shape are crucial in valuing a certain type of interest rate contingent claims.
