  • Abstract
    Effective numerical algorithms are developed to evaluate the impact of the soft call and hard call constraints, notice period requirement and other factors on the optimal issuer´s calling policy in convertible bonds. Our results show that the critical stock price at which the issuer should optimally call the convertible bond depends quite sensibly on these constraints and requirements.
