ATSM are widely applied for pricing of bonds and interest rate derivatives but the consistency of ATSM when the short rate, r, is unbounded from below remains essentially an open question. First, the standard approach to ATSM uses the Feynman-Kac theorem which is easily applicable only when r is bounded from below. Sec…
