Articles by Christian Fries
Dynamic refinement of the term structure: time-homogeneous term structure modeling
The author considers a classical term structure model framework, ie, a Heath–Jarrow–Morton framework, on a time-discrete tenor, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate market model, using a sequence of tenor discretizations, where the tenors are valid…
Smart derivative contracts: detaching transactions from counterparty credit risk
Introducing deterministic termination rules to eliminate counterparty risk in smart derivatives
Fast stochastic forward sensitivities in Monte Carlo simulations using stochastic automatic differentiation (with applications to initial margin valuation adjustments)
In this paper, the author applies stochastic (backward) automatic differentiation to calculate stochastic forward sensitivities.
