Summary: Global money markets represent a very complex interlinked system. Market prices of derivative financial instruments bear information about this system, information that is critical for the effective management of interest rate and currency risks in a global context. The project will develop and test methods to extract this information. It will provide an interactive environment to explore (numerically and visually) sensitivities of asset dynamics and derivatives prices to input data and modelling assumptions, thus permitting a detailed analysis of market and model risk.
