Credit Derivatives: Instruments, Applications, and Pricing provides an in-depth explanation of this risk management tool, which has been increasingly used to manage credit risk in banking and capital markets.
In this comprehensive text, Mark J.P. Anson, Frank J. Fabozzi, Moorad Choudhry, and Ren-Raw Chen cover everything, from the basics of why credit risk is important, to accounting and tax implications of credit derivatives.
Key topics discussed in this essential guidebook include:
