This article presents a model for pricing complex CDO structures and compute the sensitivities of the risk factors. The complex CDO structures need to be priced using the market information on tranche losses at multiple points of time.

The central conflict between inhabitants of these two spaces articulates this local topography into a global framework, in which con…[Read more]

We present a pricing model for fade option. A fade option can be more precisely named as “point-barrier option”. The fade option is a vanilla option that exists or dies if a barrier is breached on a single preset date, which is prior or equal to the contract maturity.

Surround sound is often mistaken as a relatively new phenomenon in cinemas, one that emerged in the 1970s with the arrival of Dolby. Making Stereo Fit reveals that, in fact, filmmakers have been creating stereo and surround-sound effects for nearly a century, since the advent of talking pictures, and argues that their endurance owes primarily to…[Read more]
