Elements of Financial Risk Management (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Elements of Financial Risk Management offers an introduction to modern risk management. It focuses on implementation, especially recent techniques which facilitate bridging the gap between standard textbooks on risk and real-life risk management systems.

It identifies key features of risk asset returns and captures them in tractable statistical models in the companion website. It presents step-by-step approaches as a means to solve problems.

This book is intended for three types of readers with an interest in financial risk management. First, Master's and Ph.D. students specializing in finance and economics. Second, market practitioners with a quantitative undergraduate or graduate degree. Third, a small group of advanced undergraduates majoring in either economics, engineering, finance, or another quantitative field.

The book will also suit those in financial engineering courses who have strong quantitative backgrounds and those in Ph.D. courses.

*Pinpoints key features of risk asset returns and captures them in tractable statistical models in the companion website *Presents step-by-step approaches as a means to solve problems *Visible patterns in the data motivate the choices of tools, and when tools fall short, it presents the next tool

Rezensionen

"Elements of Financial Risk Management focuses on implementation, especially recent techniques which facilitate bridging the gap between standard textbooks on risk and real-life risk management systems. This book will appeal to practitioners in the financial services and investment industries, as well as graduate students and advanced undergraduates who want exposure to these techniques." --Zentralblatt Math 2012-1235.91001

"With expanded treatment of derivatives, credit risk and operational risk, Christoffersen's 2e clearly emerges as the only serious choice for modern master's-level risk measurement and management. It is unique in having no real competition at any level: every master's student should be trained using it, yet simultaneously, every graduate student and professor will want to read it for his/her own edification." --Francis X. Diebold, University of Pennsylvania

"Christoffersen offers a timely and very readable introduction to modern risk management techniques. The book strikes an excellent balance between mathematical rigor and intuition. It has been thoroughly updated relative to the first version published almost a decade ago to reflect all of the most important new developments in the area, including new chapters on the analysis of high-frequency intraday data, copulas, and credit risk management among others. This is a winner, destined to emerge as one of the key references in the area." --Tim Bollerslev, Duke University

"Concise yet comprehensive, this pearl of a book captures the essence of modern management of market risk in a truly unique manner. It mixes rigor, intuition, and practical applications without overwhelming the reader. It is greatly recommended to the uninitiated reader as a place to learn and for the experienced scholar looking for a quick review. An unparalleled accomplishment within the field!" --Torben G. Andersen, Northwestern University
