* To demonstrate the formulas we set up an artificial yield curve
* over a 30-year horizon; time points indicated by tau(t) start at 0
* To demonstrate the formulas we set up an artificial yield curve
* over a 30-year horizon; time points indicated by tau(t) start at 0
SET time /1 * 30/;
ALIAS (time,t,t1,t2);
PARAMETER
tau(t) Time Tau;
* Time points are annual
tau(t) = ORD(t) - 1;
* A toy yield curve:
PARAMETER
r(t) Spot rates;
* Linear, increasing from 3% to 6%
r(t) = tau(t)/30*0.03 + 0.03;
* Discount factors and forward rate calculations:
PARAMETERS
Discount(t) Discount factors
ForwRate(t1, t2) Forward rates;
Discount(t) = (1 + r(t)) ** (-tau(t));
ForwRate(t1,t2) $ (tau(t1) < tau(t2)) =
(Discount(t1) / Discount(t2)) ** (1/(tau(t2) - tau(t1))) - 1;
DISPLAY r, Discount, ForwRate;
* Now construct an artificial liability stream, and calculate its present value
PARAMETER
L(t) Artificial liability stream;
L(t) = 1000 + normal(0, 1000);
* Present value of liabilities
PARAMETER
PV Present value;
PV = SUM(t, L(t) * (1 + r(t)) ** (-tau(t)));
DISPLAY PV;
* Alternative, using the Discount parameter.
* Of course, we must obtain the same value
PV = SUM(t, L(t) * Discount(t));
DISPLAY PV;
