Abstract

Libor derivative pricing has changed with the crisis; Libor is not anymore one unambiguous curve as a large basis has appeared between different Libor tenors. A previous approach to derivative discounting is reviewed at the light of those changes. The valuation of so called linear derivatives, the yield curve construction and the valuation of vanilla options is analyzed.

Keywords: coherent pricing, interest rate derivative pricing, Libor, multi-curves, discounting, forward, cost of funding, discounting, irony
