About this title

Review

“This is a revision of an already excellent textbook that has a very clear way of explaining the often difficult concepts that the student needs to understand in this very technical subject area. What I particularly like is the careful way the text builds up the material in a simple style without skipping any steps. This incremental approach makes it a very useful teaching resource. The book clearly knows what it is trying to do and makes no assumption about the knowledge level of the reader. I also like the way material is presented through the use of concrete examples.”

From the Publisher

Blackwell Publishers
FUTURES, OPTIONS, & SWAPS, SECOND EDITION, provides a comprehensive treatment of the three most important types of financial derivatives. These three derivatives are linked by a common pricing framework -- the proposition that rational prices preclude arbitrage profits. Readers learn the relationship between these derivatives and how the markets are affected by fluctuations in their pricing. The text also emphasizes the use of futures, options and swaps in risk management and provides extensive examples describing how these instruments can be implemented, and illustrates the relationship between each instrument.
