Details

The increasing complexity of the derivatives market requires a better knowledge of advanced modelling techniques specifically designed to accommodate the great deal of volatility data quoted by the market.

In Modelling Interest Rates, some of the most renowned practitioners and academics working in the interest rate area provide contributions on the latest developments in interest rate modelling, focusing primarily on the practical implementation of the latest derivatives pricing models.

Modelling Interest Rates is an invaluable aid to researchers who aim to get acquainted with the new trends in the interest rate models and to practitioners with a need to use increasingly sophisticated tools to price exotic claims consistently with the information on the underlying variables that is provided by the market in terms of “plain vanilla” quotes.

This book will be essential reading for:
