Abstract
We study the Bessel processes withtime-varying dimension and their applications to the extended Cox-Ingersoll-Rossmodel with time-varying parameters. It is known that the classical CIR model is amodified Bessel process with deterministic time and scale change. We show thatthis relation can be generalized for the extended CIR model with time-varyingparameters, if we consider Bessel process with time-varying dimension. Thisenables us to evaluate the arbitrage free prices of discounted bonds and theircontingent claims applying the basic properties of Bessel processes. Furthermorewe study a special class of extended CIR models which not only enables us to fitevery arbitrage free initial term structure, but also to give the extended CIRcall option pricing formula.
