Abstract
Citicorp's mortgage valuation model combines a description of interest rate dynamics and a prepayment model together with a theory of security pricing to produce a measure of valuation called the option-adjusted spread (OAS). The OAS can be used to determine mispricing across both coupons and MBS programs, e.g., GNMA and FNMA, because it is free of the option cost.
