A response to the decision of Wiley Global to “disappear” 1,300+ of their ebooks in the ProQuest catalog at the beginning of the Fall 2022 term without any communication to university libraries at all, thus taking libraries by surprise and indicating Wiley’s move away from libraries as repositories and lenders of their ebooks, passing on costs to…[Read more]

In this paper, presented at the 2022 H-Net Teaching Conference, I describe how I teach undergraduate students about disability in music through what I call disclosure-oriented pedagogy.

Benjamin Porat’s Justice for the Poor differs from these books not only in that it is written in Hebrew (from the list above, only Wilfand’s 2014 book has been translated into Hebrew), but also because it envisions rabbinic charity as a branch of “law.” Porat is a law professor, and his book is jointly published by a law school, a think tank an…[Read more]

LIBOR Rate Model is used for pricing Libor-rate based derivative securities. The model is applied, primarily, to value instruments that settle at a Libor-rate reset point. In order to value instruments that settle at points intermediate to Libor resets, we calculate the numeraire value at the settlement time by interpolating the numeraire at…[Read more]

We priced the payer swaption using our benchmark Black’s model and then priced the same swaption, using our benchmark HW trinomial tree model, based on the corresponding HW volatility.

A daily digital swap that has two legs. One leg is a regular floating leg and the other leg is a Libor-based, daily digital leg. The daily digital leg is weighted by the ratio of the number of calendar days in the period that the reference rate sets below an upper level to the total number of calendar days in the period.

A quanto total return Libor Swap is a swap where one leg is a regular floating leg paying LIBOR less a constant spread and the other leg makes a single payment at the swap’s maturity equal to a leveraged non-negative return on USD-for-EURO exchange rate paid in CAD. The main focus of the valuation model is the quantoed total return on the FX rate.

Early start swaps are a series of 10-year interest rate swaps. Each swap has an American style option for the counterparty of starting the swap early, within a period of three month. Otherwise, the swaps are plain vanilla fixed-for-floating swaps.

A constant maturity swap (CMS) spread option makes payments based on a bounded spread between two index rates (e.g., a GBP CMS rate and a EURO CMS rate). We assume that both the forward GBP and EURO CMS rates follow geometric Brownian motion under their respective T-forward measures.
