 | Advanced Fixed-Income Valuation Tools In response to intense competition and higher market volatility, players in the fixed-income market now demand increasingly sophisticated valuation tools. Until recently, a basic understanding of duration and convexity or the ability to use simple, one-factor term structure models was enough to distinguish one from the crowd. Now, this knowledge is practically de rigueur. Cutting-edge players today need a deep understanding of how convexity and risk premia affect bond yields and returns; of how multi-factor term structure models can improve hedging performance; of how to improve the accuracy and efficiency of Monte Carlo analysis, etc. This book brings together contributions from twenty-four finance professionals and academics from top investment banks, consulting firms, and universities. Going well beyond the basics, Advanced Fixed-Income Valuation Tools brings the reader some of the most advanced thinking in the field. Topics covered in this book include: * The effects of convexity and risk premia on bond yields, forward and future rates, and expected returns * The similarities and differences among term structure models * Multi-factor models and models with jumps * Modeling credit risk * Prepayment modeling and MBS pricing * The Muni-Treasury spread * Foreign currency options * Efficient numerical valuation techniques Advanced Fixed-Income Valuation Tools arms the reader with the knowledge and tools needed to succeed in the competitive and rapidly evolving field of quantitative fixed-income investing and trading. "This is a thoughtfully organized compendium of a series of high-quality papers thatshould serve as an excellent resource describing cutting-edge research. Drs. Jegadeesh and Tuckman have put together a collection of first-rate authors considering timelyand useful areas of some of the frontiers of fixed-income valuation." -H. Gifford Fong President, Gifford Fong Associates President Editor, Financial Analysts Journal "This book has an excellent mix of well-written survey papers and cutting-edge research on fixed-income modeling techniques.

It will be useful for interest rate modelers and fixed-income specialists as well as for academics looking for a summary of the recent advances in the field." Yacine Ait-Sahalia Professor, Princeton University and Director, Bendheim Center in Finance "This excellent collection of articles ushers the reader into the forefront of advanced fixed-income valuation theory.

 | Sovereign Default Risk Valuation: Implications of Debt Crises and Bond Restructurings (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems)
Past cycles of sovereign lending and default in emerging markets suggest that debt crises will recur at some point. In addressing debt crises it has proven helpful to distinguish between situations of illiquidity and insolvency. Solutions range from a voluntary debt swap to a soft or hard restructuring. This book shows why investors should reckon with similar credit events in the future. Insights gained from recent restructurings inspire the design of a valuation model for sovereign bonds. Using the distinction between hard and soft restructurings, the model draws parallels to the concepts of face value and market value recovery. An extension into credit default swap markets explains why bond and CDS spreads diverge during distress. This survey of the sovereign bond market provides investors with a useful toolkit for analyzing sovereign bonds and foreseeing trends in the international financial architecture. The result should be a better understanding of debt crises and more deliberate investment decisions. List Price: USD $119.00 Author: Jochen Andritzky Year: 2006 No. Pages: 251 |
