Abstract: | This paper studies the costs of applying single-factor exercise strategies to American swap options when the term structure is actually driven by multiple factors. Using a multifactor string market model of the term structure, the authors find that even when single-factor models are recalibrated to match the market at every exercise date, the exercise strategies they imply can be suboptimal. |
