  • M. Henrard, “Libor: don't fallback, step forward,” Wilmott, vol. 2019, iss. 104, p. 24–35, 2019.
    [Bibtex] [Abstract]
    Marc Henrard examines why the LIBOR fallback proposals are not satisfactory – explaining why the main proposal is not achievable in practice and a fundamental revision of the fallback's foundations is required. Henrard describes the value transfer coming from the proposed adjustment spread computation. Part of the transfer has already taken place, and more will take place in the near future. The source of the value transfer is analyzed and a quantitative analysis of the spreads is provided and compared to recent market movements.

  • L. Shegalov, “Brownian bridge over quasi and pseudo random numbers,” Wilmott, vol. 2019, iss. 104, p. 82–93, 2019.
    [Bibtex] [Abstract]
    Typical Monte Carlo (MC) simulation in finance starts with the generation of d‐dimensional vectors of independent uniform [0,1] random numbers. Quasi random numbers (i.e. Sobol sequence) have a significant advantage over pseudo random numbers (like the Mersenne Twister) in MC simulations. A Brownian bridge over a single factor is a typical technique to improve MC convergence Here we expand the Brownian bridge idea to time‐dependent multivariate diffusion.
