Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new approach to the pricing and the risk-management of generic European-style interest rate derivatives. This approach has great flexibility and has the advantage of avoiding complex model calibration techniques typical of standard short-rate models. Dynamics are assigned on a set of co-initial forward swap rates and arbitrage-free restrictions are determined in a normal and lognormal setup. Model implementation and calibration are discussed and details of two example applications are also presented.
