Abstract

A positive spot rate model driven by a gamma process and correlated to equity is introduced and calibrated via closed forms for the joint characteristic function for the rate r, its integral y and the logarithm of the stock price s under the T-forward measure. The law of the triple (r,y,s) is expressed as a nonlinear transform of three independent processes, a gamma process, a variance gamma process and a Wiener integral with respect to the Dirichlet process. The generalized Stieltjes transform of the Wiener integral with respect to the Dirichlet process is derived in closed form. Inversion of this transform using Schwarz (2005, The generalized Stieltjes transform and its inverse, Journal of Mathematical Physics, doi: 10.1063/1.1825077) makes large step simulations possible. Valuing functions are built and hedged using quantization and high dimensional interpolation methods. The hedging objective is taken to be capital minimization as described in Carr, Madan and Vicente Alvarez (2011, Markets, profits, capital, leverage and returns, Journal of Risk, 14, pp. 95-122).
