Sinopsis

Option modelling is a highly complex and fast moving area of finance. This major revision of the first edition sees the introduction of five new chapters together with the inclusion of complex quantitative material. The additional chapters deal with techniques such as American swaptions and the Two-Factor Model.

De la contraportada

"Overall this book provides an excellent summary of the state of knowledge of term structure modelling. It combines a solid academic background with the practical experience of someone who works in the financial sector." Alan White and John Hull, A-J Financial Systems, Canada

The modelling of exotic interest-rate options is such an important and fast-moving area, that the updating of the extremely successful first edition has been eagerly awaited. This edition re-focuses the assessment of various models presented in the first edition, in light of the new developments of modelling imperfect correlation between financial quantities. It also presents a substantial new chapter devoted to this revolutionary modelling method. In this second edition, readers will also find important new data dealing with the securities markets and the probabilistic/stochastic calculus tools. Other changes include: a new chapter on the issues arising in the pricing of several classes of exotic interest-rate instruments; and insights from the BDT and the Brennan and Schwartz approaches which can be combined into a new class of "generalised models". Further details can be found on the links between mean-reversion and calibration for important classes of models.

De la solapa interior

"From the basics of swap and forward contracts through to the most complex exotic interest-rate options, Rebonato provides a comprehensive and unified treatment of this exciting area. I thoroughly recommend this book to both academics and practitioners. Academics will learn about the practical difficulties of applying theory. Practitioners will gain insight into the often implicit assumptions that lie behind the procedures they use." Ian Cooper, BZW Professor of Finance, London Business School, UK. Interest-Rate Option Models (Second Edition),presents in a unified way the theoretical and practical issues involved in the pricing of exotic interest-rate options. Despite the fact that relatively complex mathematical concepts are introduced and used in the book, financial intuition, rather than mathematical rigour, is emphasised throughout. The book is split into five distinct parts:
* Part One: The Need for Yield Curve Option Pricing Models.
* Part Two: The Theoretical Tools.
* Part Three: The Implementation Tools.
* Part Four: Analysis of Specific Models.
* Part Five: General Topics.
