Volume 3 of the Encyclopedia of Financial
Models
The need for serious coverage of financial modeling has never
been greater, especially with the size, diversity, and efficiency
of modern capital markets. With this in mind, the Encyclopedia
of Financial Models has been created to help a broad spectrum
of individuals–ranging from finance professionals to
academics and students–understand financial modeling and make
use of the various models currently available.
Incorporating timely research and in-depth analysis, Volume
3 of the Encyclopedia of Financial Models covers both
established and cutting-edge models and discusses their real-world
applications. Edited by Frank Fabozzi, this volume includes
contributions from global financial experts as well as academics
with extensive consulting experience in this field. Organized
alphabetically by category, this reliable resource consists of
forty-four informative entries and provides readers with a balanced
understanding of today’s dynamic world of financial
modeling.
* Volume 3 covers Mortgage-Backed Securities Analysis
and Valuation, Operational Risk, Optimization Tools, Probability
Theory, Risk Measures, Software for Financial Modeling, Stochastic
Processes and Tools, Term Structure Modeling, Trading Cost
Models, and Volatility
* Emphasizes both technical and implementation issues, providing
researchers, educators, students, and practitioners with the
necessary background to deal with issues related to financial
modeling
* The 3-Volume Set contains coverage of the fundamentals and
advances in financial modeling and provides the mathematical and
statistical techniques needed to develop and test financial
models
Financial models have become increasingly commonplace, as well
as complex. They are essential in a wide range of financial
endeavors, and the Encyclopedia of Financial Models will
help put them in perspective.
