Fixed-Income Securities features a compilation of the most
up-to-date fixed-income securities techniques and methods. The book
presents crucial topics of fixed income in an accessible and

regulatory landscape. Well organized to cover critical topics in
fixed income, Handbook of Fixed-Income Securities is divided into
eight main sections that feature: An introduction to fixed-income
markets such as Treasury bonds, inflation-protected securities,
money markets, mortgage-backed securities, and the basic analytics
that characterize them Monetary policy and fixed-income markets,
which highlight the recent empirical evidence on the central banks
influence on interest rates, including the recent quantitative
easing experiments Interest rate risk measurement and management
with a special focus on the most recent techniques and
methodologies for asset-liability management under regulatory
constraints The predictability of bond returns with a critical

premia, both in the United States and abroad, and their sources,
such as liquidity and volatility Advanced topics, with a focus on

the dynamics of bond illiquidity, and the puzzling dynamics of
