Editorial Review:
As interest rate markets continue to innovate and expand it is becoming increasingly important to remain up-to-date with the latest practical and theoretical developments. This book covers the latest developments in full, with descriptions and implementation techniques for all the major classes of interest rate models-both those actively used in practice as well as theoretical models still 'waiting in the wings'.
Interest rate models, implementation methods and estimation issues are discussed at length by the authors as are important new developments such as kernel estimation techniques, economic based models, implied pricing methods and models on manifolds.
Providing balanced coverage of both the practical use of models and the theory that underlies them, Interest Rate Modelling adopts an implementation orientation throughout, making it an ideal resource for both practitioners and researchers.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good explained yield curve fitting
List different way of yield curve fitting method, and good explain why B-spline
is good. Also term structure on general manifold is interesting, although a review don't
think it's useful.
Rating:  - Could have been very good. A new edition could earn 5 stars.
While very ambitious and containing some very good material, I think there are too many errors, typos, and gaps in this book. For example, the derivation of equation (3.20) on page 43, a not insignificant result on swap rates, is embarrasingly wrong. They make 2 fundamental errors in equations (3.15) and (3.16) and appear fortunate to arrive at (3.20) which is correct. These errors are not mere typos. Their examples related to the concept of a filtration on top of page 58 appear to be wrong. Elsewhere ... Read More
Rating: - A real must !
As a math grad student who is interested in the term structure modelling, I found that this book is really useful! It just tells you everything about interest rate modelling,not just for the no-arbitrage modelling issue, they even have a chapter about the macroeconomic foundation for interest rate fluctuation! The math used in this book is very concise without too much measure theory twaddle,Everyone who works in this field should have a copy. It's a real must!
Rating: - A must-have encyclopedia on term structure modeling
I have spent a number of years in building & implementing models for interest-rate-dependent claims, but should admit: I learned more from this book. I view it as an encyclopedia on the subject, in which the authors (never heard their names before - what a shame!) have done an excellent job on reviewing hundreds of publications. The theory of term structure modeling has been grown to a separate subject - thanks to Hull and White, Jamshidian, HJM, BGM, Hughston - among main contributors. You can ... Read More
Rating: - Extraordinary
There are plenty of books on fixed income mathematics. This one is extraordinary. It is simultaneously practical, theoretically sophisticated and a pleasure to read. The treatment of term-structure models, including HJM, is the most accessible I have seen anywhere. There is a lot of information on yield curve building. This includes both bootstrapping and more recent research in parameterised curves. There are plenty of topics that other books might label "beyond the scope of ...", but James and Webber ...
