Abstract

We describe a number of ideas for speeding up and improving the performance of the Cheyette (1992) yield curve model with particular attention to the pricing of Bermudan swaptions. Specifically, we present: a better skew specification, a more efficient method for pricing, closed-form approximations for calibration of the model, and a new idea for calibrating the speed of mean-reversion.

Keywords: Markovian HJM Models, Bermudan Swaption Pricing
