5. The zero-coupon interest rates with continuous compounding are currently 3% for all maturities.
Consider the Hull and White model dr = (0 (t) - a r(t)) dt+ o dz, where z is a Brownian motion
under the risk-neutral probability, a = 0,1, o=0,01 and 0 (t) is calibrated to the zero-coupon yield
curve.
a. What is the impact of an increase in & on the price of a receiver swaption if 0 (t) is calibrated
again to the zero-coupon yield curve? It is assumed that the parameter "a" and the yield
curve remain unchanged.
b. What is the impact of an increase in parameter a on the price of a floor if 0 (t) is calibrated
again to the zero-coupon yield curve? It is assumed that o and the yield curve remain
unchanged.
