Pricing Convertible Bonds Based on GAN and Transformer
摘要
The convertible bond market is an interesting part of the national economy. This paper designs the GTLM-C (GAN-Transformer-LSM-Clauses) model, which first combines the generative adversarial network (GAN) and Transformer to generate returns of stock price by their distribution under the real world probability, then uses volatility as a link to generate stock price paths by their distribution under the risk-neutral world probability, and finally combines the Monte Carlo least squares method with the three clauses to price convertible bonds. Comparing with the Black-Scholes (B-S) method, the finite difference method and the Monte Carlo least squares method with fixed volatility, the GTLM-C model in this paper has a lower error, verifying its effectiveness and superiority in pricing convertible bonds.
