“…A direct application of binomial option models can produce inconsistent results in that call and put prices may not satisfy parity relationships. (See Bookstaber, Jacob, and Langsam (1986), Cox, Ross, and Rubinstein (1979), Pitts (1985), and Rendelman and Bartter (1980).) Furthermore such models typically do not use information from the yield curve.…”
Unlike most interest rate claim models, the Ho‐Lee model utilizes full information on the current term structure. Unfortunately, the model has a major deficiency in that negative interest rates can occur. This article modifies the model such that interest rates are well behaved.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
