Challenges in Derivatives Markets:
Fixed income modeling, valuation adjustments, risk management, and regulation

The aim of the conference is to provide a venue for practitioners and academics working with derivatives to present state-of-the-art research, exchange ideas, and share visions on future developments in the field. The first focal point of the conference will be on recent developments in interest-rate modeling and derivatives pricing. Various types of multi-curve term structure models and especially post-crisis extensions of the Libor market model will be discussed. The second focus will be put on counterparty and liquidity risk in a global derivatives market. Derivative valuation and risk management in the presence of collateral and liquidity issues will be the central topics with special regard to valuation adjustments such as CVA (credit valuation adjustment), DVA (debt valuation adjustment), FVA (funding valuation adjustment), and other XVAs as well as their interplay. Emphasis will be put on modeling and pricing, as well as risk management and regulatory aspects.
