Barrier swaption pricing formulae of mean-reverting model in uncertain environment

Abstract

Barrier swaption is an exotic option, in which the option purchaser has the right to decide whether the swaption will come into effect within a period and it becomes effective (invalid) only when the underlying rises (falls) to the barrier price. This paper studies four kinds of barrier swaptions based on the mean-reverting model, which are up-and-in payer swaption, down-and-in receiver swaption, down-and-out payer swaption, up-and-out receiver swaption, and the price calculation formulae are given. Then, the related parameters are calculated by the minimum cover estimation method. Finally, the examples are given.
