The BDT model may also be used to price put or call options on bonds. According to Zvi Bodie, financial engineering is the application of science-based mathematical models to decisions about saving, investing, borrowing, lending, and managing risk. All over the world, it has become fashionable for Universities and Colleges to offer Masters degree programs in quantitative finance or financial engineering (FE), a code word meaning the solution of the Black-Scholes option I worked on a very large deal where there were interest rate simulations all over the place, and some asset return simulations, but the project was sitting on a well-known major quake fault and no one had anything in their models about it. In this post we will consider how the Black-Derman-Toy (BDT) short rate binomial tree will be used to price options on bonds. Much of it is about an alleged bond bubble that is supposedly keeping bond prices unrealistically high and interest rates — which move in the opposite direction from bond prices — unrealistically low. But the rising Dow has raised .. Markets coupled with low interest rates set by the federal reserve. Comment by Jay — October 13, 2008 @ 11:53 am.

The household sector, already squeezed for liquidity by the move to build increasing budget surpluses in some nations were enticed by the lower interest rates and the vehement marketing strategies of the financial engineers. This book presents statistical methods and models of importance to quantitative finance and links finance theory to market practice via statistical modeling and decision making. I think that's a reasonable definition. His research interests include financial econometrics and engineering, time series modeling and adaptive control, fault detection, and change-point problems. Financial models are crude, and are mostly analogies. Part I provides basic It describes applications to option pricing, interest rate markets, statistical trading strategies, and risk management.
