A reduced modelling approach to the pricing of mortgage backed securities

Rana D. Parshad

Abstract:
We consider a pricing model for mortgage backed securities formulated as a non-linear partial differential equation. We show that under certain feasible assumptions this model can be greatly simplified. We prove the well posedness of the simplified PDE.
