Bonds and Bond Derivatives, Second Edition

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to thank the staff at Blackwell Publishing, including Seth Ditchik, Laura Stearns, Joanna Pyke, Rhonda Pearce, Michael Rasmussen, and Eloise Keating.

This book has benefited from countless discussions with students in my classes at the University of Florida and with colleagues at the University of Florida and other universities. The entire list is too long to include. Several individuals have been especially helpful: Wayne Archer, Mark Flannery, Grace Hao, Jeff Jewell, John Lilly, Andy Naranjo, Stanislava Nikolova, Jay Ritter, Glenn Williams, and Lei Zhou.
