SynopsisMathematical finance and financial engineering have been rapidly expanding fields of science over the past three decades. Here the author presents a comprehensive survey of past and recent developments in the area of credit risk research. One of its novel features is that it bridges the gap between the mathematical theory of credit risk and the financial practice, which serves as the motivation for the mathematical modeling studied in the book. Mathematical developments are presented in a thorough manner and cover the structural and the reduced-form approaches to credit risk modeling, applied both to single and to multiple defaults. In particular, the book offers a detailed study of various arbitrage-free models of default term structures with several rating grades., Mathematical finance and financial engineering have been rapidly expanding fields of science over the past three decades. The main reason behind this phenomenon has been the success of sophisticated quantitative methodolo- gies in helping professionals manage financial risks. It is expected that the newly developed credit derivatives industry will also benefit from the use of advanced mathematics. This industry has grown around the need to handle credit risk, which is one of the fundamental factors of financial risk. In recent years, we have witnessed a tremendous acceleration in research efforts aimed at better comprehending, modeling and hedging this kind of risk. Although in the first chapter we provide a brief overview of issues related to credit risk, our goal was to introduce the basic concepts and related no- tation, rather than to describe the financial and economical aspects of this important sector of financial market. The interested reader may consult, for instance, Francis et al. (1999) or Nelken (1999) for a much more exhaustive description of the credit derivatives industry., This book will be an important reference for practitioners involved with managing portfolios sensitive to credit risk. Graduate students and researchers in mathematical finance, financial engineering, finance and probability will also benefit from the book., Mathematical finance and financial engineering have been rapidly expanding fields of science over the past three decades.
