Credit Derivatives: Application, Pricing, and Risk Management
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The market for credit derivatives--financial instruments designed to transfer credit risk from one party to another--has grown exponentially in recent years, with volume expected to reach more than $4.8 trillion by 2004. With demand increasing from the private sector for finance professionals trained in the opportunities - and dangers - inherent in this fast-changing market, finance courses are already springing up to meet this need.
Credit Derivatives is the first student-oriented text to explain this field to business students with a background in finance. Real-world examples are cited throughout, reinforced by end-of-chapter questions, and students can take advantage of links to pricing models on the internet. This concise book is ideal for instructors seeking to supplement traditional derivatives course material, as well as those looking to enhance their own understanding of this fast-growing area.
