Abstract: The Global Financial Crisis which started in 2007 is a defining economic event of our lifetime. Recessions and public bailouts of banking systems have resulted in concerns about the solvency of sovereigns in recent years as many Eurozone countries face substantial fiscal pressures. The exact causes of the Global Financial Crisis are still debated but it is unlikely to be the outcome of one single event. In a review of the Global Financial Crisis based on 21 books on the topic, Lo (2011) summarises the underlying causes and policy prescriptions: ”there is still significant disagreement as to what the underlying causes of the crisis were, and even less agreement as to what to do about it ... Like World War II, no single account of this vast and complicated calamity is sufficient to describe it.” The listed causes range from global capital flows, poor regulation, regulatory capture, inequality, high leverage, skewed economic incentives of borrowers and lenders, etc. Gorton and Metrick (2012) also contain an interesting summary of the literature written in recent years and in ”Lessons from the Financial Crisis” edited by Berd (2010) several chapters from academic researchers analyse the ongoing crisis.

Abstract: The topic of this thesis is the modeling of risks in interest-rate and inflation markets. Interest-rate risk is an important issue to investors. For instance, according to BIS (2010) the notional value of over-the-counter interest-rate derivatives markets is 465,260 billion US-dollar. This corresponds to 77 percent of the notional of the entire OTC derivatives market. Thus interest-rate derivatives is at the back-bone of the financial markets. According to ISDA (2009) 83 percent of Fortune 500 companies report using interest-rate derivatives in their risk management. Furthermore, many mortgage-based loans and pension contracts contain either explicit or implicit interest-rate options. Thus a better understanding of the interest-rate derivative markets, and the risk associated with the traded products is of great value, both to financial and non-financial companies as well as individuals....

Bechmann, Ken L. (Frederiksberg, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Formålet med denne rapport er at give en overordnet beskrivelse af anvendelsen af optionsaflønning i danske børsnoterede selskaber med fokus på udviklingen over tid frem til og med 2006, dvs. rapporten vil indeholde helt nye resultater i forhold til tidligere undersøgelser. Tilsvarende vil rapporten også indeholde en beskrivelse af, hvad der karakteriserer den optionsaflønning, der senest er blevet tildelt. Rapporten vil dermed primært være ”afrapporterende” og vil ikke indeholde fortolkninger eller diskussioner af disse resultater. I stedet vil rapporten, for de særligt interesserede, i flere tilfælde indeholde referencer til artikler, hvor sådanne diskussioner tidligere er foretaget og/eller, hvor de præsenterede resultater er behandlet mere detaljeret.
