27/28...

This week was one of the most intense. When two major projects are due in the same week, complete with presentations and reports, and add to it - company presentations and interviews, it can be an super-charged sleep-deprived combination.

First up, ACF project involved looking at pricing a double barrier option. We looked at quite a few variations including this one shown below - a Bermudan option with discrete sampling of the barrier. The 3d plots make this look really cool - but the technique is exceedingly simple yet very effective.

The other project was implementing a reduced form model for the Credit modeling class - we implemented a simple model with deterministic hazard rate function. The CDS term structure from that model are shown below.
