Explicit Caplet Implied Volatilities for Quadratic Term-Structure Models

Abstract

We derive an explicit asymptotic approximation for implied volatilities of caplets under the assumption that the short-rate is described by a generic quadratic term-structure model. In addition to providing an asymptotic accuracy result, we perform experiments in order to gauge the numerical accuracy of our approximation.
