Filling a gap in the literature caused by the recent financial crisis,
this book provides a treatment of the techniques needed to model and
evaluate interest rate derivatives according to the new paradigm for
fixed income markets. Concerning this new development, there presently
exist only research articles and two books, one of them an edited
volume, both being written by researchers working mainly in practice.
The aim of this book is to concentrate primarily on the methodological
side, thereby providing an overview of the state-of-the-art and also
clarifying the link between the new models and the classical literature.
The book is intended to serve as a guide for graduate students and
researchers as well as practitioners interested in the paradigm change
for fixed income markets. A basic knowledge of fixed income markets and
related stochastic methodology is assumed as a prerequisite.
