Does anyone know of a good quantitative book that introduces credit derivatives?? Out of interest, what methods are used for their valuation? Are they generally martingale based or PDE based or do they use some other method?thankssam

for reduced form approach, consider Credit Risk by Duffied & Singleton; for structural modeling approach, get Credit Risk Modeling by Bluhm/Overbeck/Wagner. The aforementioned Schonbucher's Credit Derivatives Pricing Models is good to learn the mathematics of credit risk and derivatives modeling. I would also try to borrow from any library (this book is expensive) Credit by Arvanitis and Gregory for its more practitioner point of view.
