With Monte Carlo simulation now seen as a key tool in the pricing of derivative securities and in risk management, this practical guide develops the use of Monte Carlo methods in finance and uses simulation as a vehicle for presenting models and ideas from financial engineering. It also examines the foundations of derivatives pricing, and describes techniques for improving simulation accuracy and efficiency.
