"Absence of Arbitrage Valuation provides a simple yet comprehensive approach to asset pricing and valuation based on absence of arbitrage arguments. The text starts out by presenting the most basic valuation and asset pricing models and progresses to discussing more complicated financial instruments and real investment projects. The book will be of much use to practitioners as well as students and academics who seek a carefully explained yet hands-on approach to valuation."-Sumru Altug, Koc University and CEPR, author of Asset Pricing for Dynamic Economies (2008)
