Abstract

We combine the unbiased estimators in Rhee and Glynn (Operations Research: 63(5), 1026-1043, 2015) and the Heston model with stochastic interest rates. Specifically, we first develop a semi-exact log-Euler scheme for the Heston model with stochastic interest rates. Then, under mild assumptions, we show that the convergence rate in the L2L^2 norm is O(h)O(h), where hh is the step size. The result applies to a large class of models, such as the Heston-Hull-While model, the Heston-CIR model and the Heston-Black-Karasinski model. Numerical experiments support our theoretical convergence rate.
