From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The LIBOR Market Model, also referred to as the BGM model, is an interest rate model used for the pricing of interest rate derivatives, especially complex derivatives such as exotics. The model primitives are a set of LIBOR forward rates, which have the advantage of being directly observable in the market. Each forward rate is modeled by a lognormal process, i.e. a Black model. Thus the LIBOR market model may be interpreted as a collection of Black models considered under a common pricing measure.
