About this book
Containing many results that are new, or which exist only in recent research articles, Interest Rate Modeling: Theory and Practice, 2nd Edition portrays the theory of interest rate modeling as a three-dimensional object of finance, mathematics, and computation. It introduces all models with financial-economical justifications, develops options along the martingale approach, and handles option evaluations with precise numerical methods.
Features
- Presents a complete cycle of model construction and applications, showing readers how to build and use models
- Provides a systematic treatment of intriguing industrial issues, such as volatility and correlation adjustments
- Contains exercise sets and a number of examples, with many based on real market data
- Includes comments on cutting-edge research, such as volatility-smile, positive interest-rate models, and convexity adjustment
- New to the 2nd edition: volatility smile modeling; a new paradigm for inflation derivatives modeling; an extended market model for credit derivatives; a dual-curved model for the post-crisis interest-rate derivatives markets; and an elegant framework for the xVA.
