Pricing Equity-linked Debt using the Vasicek Model
R. Mallier and G. Alobaidi


Abstract.  We consider equity-linked debt where the holder receives both interest payments and payments linked to the performance of an equity index. We use a Green's function approach to value such instruments under the assumption that the equity index obeys a lognormal random walk and the risk-free interest rate is given by the Vasicek model.
