ShortRate_Model

Implement a one-factor model called Kalotay-Williams-Fabozzi, discretizing it using a Binomial Tree. The model uses a single stochastic factor – the short rate – to determine the future evolution of all interest rates. This assignment was done as part of the Master in Quantitative Finance course, at the FGV University. You can check our report here (the text is in Portuguese). We will use mostly Python to code the project.

Install
