Pricing Stock and Bond Options when the Default-Free Rate Is Stochastic: A Comment

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  06 April 2009

Abstract

This paper corrects the bond option formula presented by R. Rabinovitch ((1989), Equation (10)). With just one state variable driving the economy, the formula should be the same as the ones presented by Jamshidian (1989) and Chaplin (1987).
