Fuzzy Random Option Pricing in Continuous Time: A Systematic Review and an Extension of Vasicek’s Equilibrium Model of the Term Structure
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- The first objective is to present the results of a systematic literature review on FROP that covers the period from the first work up to March 2023 by using Web of Knowledge (WoS) and SCOPUS. We will focus on contributions related to FROPCT. This systematic review aims to offer a valuable perspective on the main contributions and developments in FROPCT and to identify research gaps. Among these research gaps, we have observed that FROPCT has achieved significant development in the context of equity [14,15,16,17,18] and real options [19,20,21]. However, extensions to the context of fixed-income markets and interest-rate-sensitive instruments are relatively scarce.
- The aforementioned research gap motivated the second research objective of this study, which involves developing a fuzzy random extension of Vasicek’s yield curve model [8]. In this regard, we will assume that the uncertainty about the parameters governing interest rates (mean reverting rate, long-term mean, and volatility) is modeled by using fuzzy numbers. Our extension will be applied to the zero-coupon curve published by the European Central Bank for bonds with the highest credit rating in Europe.

3.1. Preeliminary Questions
- The evolution of short rates can be described by using a mean-reverting process with a constant mean. This hypothesis is commonly employed in practical applications, such as in [77], whereby it was employed in the context of life insurance.
- Uncertainty regarding the parameters governing interest rate movements can be represented by using fuzzy numbers. Following the concept commonly adopted in FROPCT, we consider fuzzy parameters as epistemic fuzzy numbers, assuming they are disjunctive sets [78].
- In the empirical application presented in this paper, the fuzzy parameters are constructed based on objective information obtained from bond markets.
