Chapter 7: Floaters and Linkers

This chapter is based entirely on two of my papers. The first is “Negative Duration: The Odd Case of GMAC's Floating-Rate Note,” which appeared in the Journal of Applied Finance (Fall/Winter 2006). The second is “Alternative Designs for Inflation-Indexed Bonds: P-Linkers and C-Linkers.” I presented this paper at the annual meeting of the Financial Education Association in Fort Lauderdale (September 2009). It was published in Journal of Financial Education (Fall/Winter 2010).
