Abstract

Due to the interesting financial moment we are living, my motivations to write this Master thesis has mostly been the behavior of interest rates and models that can be used predict them. Thus, in this dissertation I have presented theHull-White model and the way to calibrate it against market data so it can be used to price interest rate derivatives. The reader can find both theoretical and practical presentations and examples along with the code to program them byhim/herself.
