Acerca del autor

Kathrin Glau is a Junior Professor of Mathematical Finance at the Technical University of Munich. Her research focuses on the complex demands on numerical tools and modeling in today’s market. Her approach merges recent advances from numerical analysis and financial modeling in order to develop pricing methods in advanced models with the help of thorough error analysis are developed. Her speciality is Galerkin methods for partial integro-differential equations for (pure) jump Levy driven models.

Zorana Grbac is an Assistant Professor of Mathematical Finance at the Laboratoire de Probabilités et Modèles Aléatoires, University Paris Diderot. Her research interests include applications of Lévy processes and other stochastic processes with jumps in mathematical finance, with an emphasis on modeling of the term structure of interest rates and credit risk modeling. She also works on asymptotic methods for pricing of interest rate derivatives. She haspublished several research papers on multi-curve modeling, pricing and valuation adjustments and is co-author of the book "Interest Rate Modeling: Post-Crisis Challenges and Approaches".

Matthias Scherer is a Professor of Mathematical Finance at the Technical University of Munich.

De la contraportada

This bookpresents 20 peer-reviewed chapters on current aspects of derivatives marketsand derivative pricing. The contributions, written by leading researchers inthe field as well as experienced authors from the financial industry, presentthe state of the art in:

Modelingcounterparty credit risk: credit valuation adjustment, debit valuationadjustment, funding valuation adjustment, and wrong way risk.

Recentdevelopments concerning contingent convertible bonds, the measuring of basisspreads, and the modeling of implied correlations. <

The recentfinancial crisis has cast tremendous doubts on the classical view on derivativepricing. Now, counterparty credit risk and liquidity issues are integralaspects of a prudent valuation procedure and the reference interest rates arerepresented by a multitude of curves according to their different periods andmaturities.

A paneldiscussion included in the book (featuring Damiano Brigo, Christian Fries, JohnHull, and Daniel Sommer) on the foundations of modeling and pricing in thepresence of counterparty credit risk provides intriguing insights on thedebate.
