Copula Methods in Finance by Umberto Cherubini

Copula Methods in Finance by Umberto Cherubini

Addressing the mathematics of copula functions, this book explains copulas by means of applications to major topics in derivative pricing and credit risk analysis. It focuses on the pricing of asset-backed securities and basket credit derivative products and the evaluation of counterparty risk in derivative transactions.

"..This book is of great use for researchers as well as practitioners..." (Statistical Papers, July 2005)
