Preface

This second edition is a substantially revised and expanded treatment of the theory of interest from that contained in the first edition. With a few minor exceptions, all the material in the first edition has been retained and updated. In addition, a significant amount of new material has been added.

In addition to a thorough treatment of the mathematical theory of interest, the second edition also introduces the reader to the economic and financial theory of interest. The effect of such factors as inflation, risk and uncertainty, and yield curves is examined. In addition, material has been added to introduce a number of modern financial instruments that have become important since the first edition.

The interrelationship between assets and liabilities has received increased attention in recent years. The second edition provides the reader with an introduction to the tools available to quantify and manage this relationship. The techniques of duration analysis, immunization, dedication, and scenario testing are considered at a level commensurate with the rest of the book.

The first edition adopted a largely deterministic approach to the subject of interest. The second edition retains this approach in the earlier chapters, but introduces a number of stochastic approaches toward the end. Models in which successive rates of interest are independent and dependent random variables are examined. This is followed with a discussion of the Capital Asset Pricing Model, including an important extension of the model to liabilities which is often not considered in other literature. Finally, two contemporary approaches to valuing options are presented; namely, the Black-Scholes formula and binomial lattices.

The material on yield rates in the first edition has been significantly expanded. New topics added include time-weighted rates of interest and the distinction between portfolio and investment year methods of calculating interest. Calculation reflecting reinvestment rates have been expanded and
