Abstract:
Adjustable-Rate Bonds
with Puts (ARBP), frequently issued by the Russian companies, give
the issuer the right to arbitrarily change the coupon payments on
the bonds at certain moments. But at these moments, the investor has
the right to force the issuer to redeem the bonds at a face value.
These reciprocal actions of the issuer and investors can be
considered as a dynamic game. We suggest a game-theoretic model that
allow to determine the optimal decisions of the players. These
decisions are compared with empirical data.
Keywords:dynamic game, optimal decisions, Russian bond market, Adjustable-Rate Bonds with Puts.
