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.

Credit Risk

Modeling, Valuation and Hedging

"A fairly complete overview of the most important recent developments of credit risk modelling from the viewpoint of mathematical finance . . . It provides an excellent treatment of mathematical aspects of credit risk and will also be useful as a reference for technical details to traders and analysts dealing with credit-risky assets. It is a worthwhile addition to the literature and will serve as highly recommended reading for students and researchers in the subject area for some years to come."

-MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

"The main purpose of this outstanding monograph is to present a comprehensive survey of the existing developments in the area of credit risk research, as well as to put forth the most recent advancements in this field. An important feature of this book is its attempt to bridge the gap between the mathematical theory of credit risk and the financial practice. ... The content of this book provides an indispensable guide to graduate students, researchers, and also to advanced practitioners in the fields ... ."
