Abstract

Various drift approximations for the displaced-discussion LIBOR market model in the spot measure are compared. The advantages, disadvantages and implementation choices for each of predictor-corrector and the Glasserman-Zhao method are discussed. Numerical tests are carried out and we conclude that the predictor-corrector method is superior.

Keywords: LIBOR market model, predictor-corrector, discretization
