This letter shows that their results can be explained in the framework of a Gaussian HJM model with humped term-structure volatility. This implies that hedging interest rate derivatives with interest rate swaps is not ruled out.enOn the Presence of Unspanned Volatility in European Interest Rate Optionsjournal article
