Description for Interest Rate Modelling
Hardcover. This volume covers developments in the interest rate markets, with descriptions and implementation techniques for all the major classes of interest rate models. It covers those models already in practice, as well as theoretical models. Series: Wiley Series in Financial Engineering. Num Pages: 672 pages, Ill. BIC Classification: KFFM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 162 x 239 x 48. Weight in Grams: 1216.
As interest rate markets continue to innovate and expand it is becoming increasingly important to remain up-to-date with the latest practical and theoretical developments. This book covers the latest developments in full, with descriptions and implementation techniques for all the major classes of interest rate models-both those actively used in practice as well as theoretical models still 'waiting in the wings'.
Interest rate models, implementation methods and estimation issues are discussed at length by the authors as are important new developments such as kernel estimation techniques, economic based models, implied pricing methods and models on manifolds.
Providing balanced coverage of both the practical use of models and the theory that underlies them, Interest Rate Modelling adopts an implementation orientation throughout, making it an ideal resource for both practitioners and researchers.

About Edward James
JESSICA JAMES is Head of Research for Bank One's Strategic Risk Management group, based in the UK. Jessica started life as a physicist at Manchester University and completed her DPhil in Theoretical Atomic and Nuclear Physics at Christ Church, Oxford, under Professor Sandars. After a year as a college lecturer at Trinity, Oxford, she began work at he First National Bank of Chicago, now Bank One, where she still works. She is well known as a speaker on the conference circuit, lecturing on a variety of topics such as VaR, capital allocation, credit derivatives and interest rate modelling, and ahs published articles on various aspects of financial modelling. NICK WEBBER is a lecturer in Finance at Warwick Business School. Prior to his academic career, Nick has had extensive experience in the industrial and commercial world in operational research and computing. After obtaining a PhD in Theoretical Physics from Imperial College he began research into financial options. His main area of research centres on interest rate modelling and computational finance. He ahs taught practitioner and academic course for many years, chiefly on options and interest rates.
Reviews for Interest Rate Modelling
"Interest Rate Modelling is an encyclopedic treatment of interest rates and their related financial derivatives. It combines advanced theory with extensive and down-to-earth data analysis in a way which is truly unique. For practitioners, students and scholars in the field, this impressive wok will be the standard reference for years to come.", Professor Tomas Bjork, , Stockholm School of Economics#"...an excellent book. I am particularly pleased by its breadth and range of topics...the reader is provided with an informative and readable exposition.", Dr Farshid Jamshidian, , NetAnalytic#"I particularly like the strong emphasis on the practicalities and calibration of interest rate models. This book will be invaluable as a comprehensive reference to students, researchers, and practitioners.", Professor Francis Longstaff, , The Anderson School at UCLA#"This is a carefully written, scholarly but fascinating presentation of the field of Interest Rate Modelling. It combines the best of two worlds: the rigour expected from finance in acamedia with the relevance expected from finance in practice. James and Webber are truly masters of their market since this book is surely a must-buy for both researchers and practitioners. If only all finance books were written with this care and attention to detail.", Dr Neil Johnson, , Clarendon Laboratory, Oxford#"Today, interest rates are key economic instruments. This is a mammoth treatise and must surely rank as one of the most comprehensive available on the topic. Anyone interested in modelling or simulating the behaviour of interest rates, be they practitioner, economist, mathematician or new entrant to the subject, will find within a wealth of pertinent material.", Professor Peter Richmond, , Trinity College Dublin#
