The Oxford Guide to Financial Modeling: Applications for Capital Markets, Corporate Finance, Risk Management and Financial Institutions
"This book showcases Dr. Ho's tireless journey into the frontier of finance over the years.  It clearly demonstrates how various rigorous financial models can be practically incorporated into companies' strategic decision making and enterprise risk management.  The book challenges our conventional thinking in capital structure theory, interest rate behavior and default risk pricing.  It should provoke debate for many years to come."  --Tony Kao, Managing Director, Global Fixed Income, General Motors Asset Management"I think this is a terrific book and a great project.  No one has yet done anything quite like it."--Andrew Lo, MIT"This book is a 'tour de force of finance.' It is comprehensive. It is fundamental; yet it is applied. To call it a "guide to financial modeling," is an understatement. It is much more. The book develops and explains all the models used in finance - from the present value model, to the CAPM, to interest rate models, to option models - and applies these models to important business problems. The emphasis is on finance issues and how models can solve them rather than on the models alone. No work has so ably integrated the fields of  corporate finance, derivatives, fixed income and accounting.  The book contains many new ideas and insights, not the least of which is a new approach to enterprise valuation and risk management. Every student of finance and every financial manager will benefit from this work."--Hans R. Stoll, The Anne Marie and Thomas B. Walker Professor ofFinance, Owen Graduate School of Management, Vanderbilt University"I strongly recommendThe Oxford Guide to Financial Modelingto research minded practitioners as well as to students of finance. Ho and Lee present the essential financial models, including many freshly minted models, in a uniquely cohesive framework that exposes the fundamental link between capital markets and corporate finance. Moreover, it is a terrific reference source for both quants and dilequants."--Journal of Investment Management
