Description for Interest Rate Models: An Introduction
Paperback. The field of financial mathematics has developed over the years, and the underlying models that have taken shape in interest rate markets and bond markets, being richer in structure than equity-derivative models, are fascinating and complex. This book introduces the tools required for the arbitrage-free modelling of the dynamics of these markets. Num Pages: 288 pages, 52 line illus. BIC Classification: KFF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 231 x 162 x 15. Weight in Grams: 436.
The field of financial mathematics has developed tremendously over the past thirty years, and the underlying models that have taken shape in interest rate markets and bond markets, being much richer in structure than equity-derivative models, are particularly fascinating and complex. This book introduces the tools required for the arbitrage-free modelling of the dynamics of these markets. Andrew Cairns addresses not only seminal works but also modern developments. Refreshingly broad in scope, covering numerical methods, credit risk, and descriptive models, and with an approachable sequence of opening chapters, Interest Rate Models will make readers--be they graduate students, academics, or practitioners--confident ...

Reviews for Interest Rate Models: An Introduction
"This book provides an excellent introduction to the field of interest-rate modeling for readers at the graduate level with a background in mathematics. It covers all key models and topics in the field and provides first glances at practical issues (calibration) and important related fields (credit risk). The mathematics is structured very well."—Rüdiger Kiesel, University of Ulm, coauthor of Risk-Neutral ... Read more
