Advanced modelling in finance
using Excel and VBA
Mary Jackson
Mike Staunton
This new and unique book
demonstrates that Excel and VBA can play an important role in the explanation and
implementation of numerical methods across finance. Advanced Modelling in Finance provides
a comprehensive look at equities, options on equities and options on bonds from the early
1950s to the late 1990s.
The book adopts a step-by-step approach to understanding the more sophisticated aspects of
Excel macros and VBA programming, showing how these programming techniques can be used to
model and manipulate financial data, as applied to equities, bonds and options. The book
is essential for financial practitioners who need to develop their financial modelling
skill sets as there is an increase in the need to analyse and develop ever more complex
'what if' scenarios.
l Specifically applies Excel and VBA to the financial markets
l Packaged with a CD containing the software from the examples throughout the book
