"This book provides comprehensive coverage of many aspects of inflation-indexed securities, from the rationale of the investors and issuers who utilise them, to the factors to be considered when such instruments are designed. As well as an extensive review of the world's inflation-linked debt markets, the authors also provide a series of technical appendices, featuring a consistent set of cash flow and price-yield equations for the largest bond markets. These form an important reference for those already experienced in the field, as well as for practitioners, academics, policy-makers and financial software developers approaching the subject for the first time."--Jacket.
