Coverage of Current Topics: Due to the recent turmoil in financial markets, this edition adds further emphasis to the importance of proper underwriting of mortgage loans, whether they are subprime or not and whether they are for residential or commercial properties. Updated Concept Boxes: New concept boxes were added in select chapters to provide information about recent trends in mortgage-backed securities and how the government has worked to add liquidity to mortgage markets, in addition to taking over the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. Chapter 11: Investment Analysis and Taxation of Income Properties: A new section on market analysis has been added to provide readers with a better understanding of how data on the supply and demand for real estate can be used to project occupancy and rental growth.

Changing interest rates constitute one of the major risk sources for banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions. Modeling the term-structure movements of interest rates is a challenging task. This volume gives an introduction to the mathematics of term-structure models in continuous time. It includes practical aspects for fixed-income markets such as day-count conventions, duration of coupon-paying bonds and yield curve construction; arbitrage theory; short-rate models; the Heath-Jarrow-Morton methodology; consistent term-structure parametrizations; affine diffusion processes and option pricing with Fourier transform; LIBOR market models; and credit risk. The focus is on a mathematically straightforward but rigorous development of the theory. Students, researchers and practitioners will find this volume very useful. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises, that provides source for homework and exam questions. Readers are expected to be familiar with elementary ItA calculus, basic probability theory, and real and complex analysis.
