In the 2nd edition some sections of Part I are omitted for
better readability, and a brand new chapter is devoted to
volatility risk. As a consequence, hedging of plain-vanilla options
and valuation of exotic options are no longer limited to the
Black-Scholes framework with constant volatility.
In the 3rd printing of the 2nd edition, the second Chapter on
discrete-time markets has been extensively revised. Proofs of
several results are simplified and completely new sections on
optimal stopping problems and Dynkin games are added. Applications
to the valuation and hedging of American-style and game options are
presented in some detail.
The theme of stochastic volatility also reappears systematically
in the second part of the book, which has been revised
fundamentally, presenting much more detailed analyses of the
various interest-rate models available: the authors' perspective
throughout is that the choice of a model should be based on the
reality of how a particular sector of the financial market
functions, never neglecting to examine liquid primary and
derivative assets and identifying the sources of trading risk
associated. This long-awaited new edition of an outstandingly
successful, well-established book, concentrating on the most
pertinent and widely accepted modelling approaches, provides the
reader with a text focused on practical rather than theoretical
aspects of financial modelling.
