Interest rate plus inflation risk Sample Clauses

Interest rate plus inflation risk. ‌ In the Merton setting, the interest rate is defined as a given constant. It might be appropriate to introduce a stochastic process for the interest rate. A common choice to model interest rates is to impose a Xxxxxxx model, which is defined as: drt = a(b − rt)dt + σdZt (23) r0 = r(0) (24) The economic interpretation of the parameter b is the mean reversion level and the parameter a is the speed of mean reversion. (Zt) is the stochastic term (BM) similar similar to the term in the stock price process, combined with a volatility term (σ). In Munk (2015) [41], derivations for the optimal asset allocation can be found under the assumption of stochastic interest rates. The implications are considered for a one factor and a two factor Xxxxxxx model. Inflation is ignored in the Merton model as well (i.e. set to zero). Typically it is assumed that the stock portfolio is an appropriate hedge against inflation risk. In Xxxxxxx and Xxx (2002) [14], the optimal asset allocation was derived under stochastic processes (Xxxxxxxx-Uhlenbeck) for the interest rate and the inflation rate.
