Question
Based on Jensen's Statement 2, which model is least appropriate?
Answer Choices:
A. The Vasicek model
B. The Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) model
C. The Ho-Lee model
Explanation
The CIR model and the Vasicek model are equilibrium models and assume that interest
rates follow a mean-reverting process. The Ho-Lee and the Kalotay-Williams-Fabozzi (KWF)
models are arbitrage-free models and do not require mean reversion in rates.
