The Area of Research and the Object of Investigation In this thesis we will investigate trading strategies in illiquid markets from a market microstructure perspective. Market microstructure is the academic term for the branch of financial economics that investigates trading and the organization of security markets, see, e. g. , Harris (2002). Historically, exchanges evolved as a location, where those interested in buy ing or selling securities could meet physically to transact. Thus, traditionally security trading was organized on exchange floors, where so-called dealers arranged all trades and provided liquidity by quoting prices at which they were willing buy or sell. Consequently, the in...

Due to the scarcity of reliable data, the existing literature on default risk still displays an imbalance between theoretical and empirical contributions. Consequently, the focus of this book is on empirical work. Within an intensity based modelling framework a broad range of promising specifications is tested using corporate bond data. The book provides one of the most comprehensive empirical studies in the field, from Kalman filtration of affine term structure models to the use of Efficient Method of Moments estimation of dynamic term structure models in a default risky context. Filling another gap in empirical research, the book devotes special attention to the identification factors that can explain credit default swap premia.

The interactions that occur in securities markets are among the fastest, most information intensive, and most highly strategic of all economic phenomena.

Zinsderivate wie Swaps, Caps, Forwards oder Futures ermöglichen auf vielfältige Weise das Management von Zinsrisiken. Die Bewertung dieser Kontrakte erscheint jedoch meist wesentlich schwieriger und anspruchsvoller als die Bewertung von Aktien- oder Währungsderivaten, da Anleihen besondere Charakteristika, wie eine begrenzte Restlaufzeit und einen sicheren Rückzahlungsbetrag am Laufzeitende, aufweisen. Dieses Buch will dem interessierten Leser den Zugang zu den Modellen erleichtern, indem die allgemeine Bewertungstheorie ausgehend von einfachen Grundlagen in diskreten einperiodigen Modellen entwickelt wird. Die Palette der Modelle reicht dabei von diskreten Ansätzen über zeitstetige Short-Rate-Modelle bis hin zu zinsstrukturkonformen Ansätzen und den aktuell diskutierten LIBOR-Market-Modellen. Bei der Darstellung wird stets großer Wert auf die Vermittlung der ökonomischen Intuition gelegt. Das Buch bietet durch zahlreiche Übungsaufgaben mit Lösungshinweisen eine fundierte Grundlage zum Selbststudium.
