This paper compares two different strategies for managing interest rate exposure. One involves maintaining a borrowing portfolio using short and long term debt lines in order to maintain an average borrowing cost. The second involves using interest rate caps to manage exposure to interest rate...

In this paper, we apply bootstrap methods to principal components. We use a set of hypothetical data to illustrate how the bootstrap methods can be employed in constructing confidence intervals dealing with the principal components analysis. We write a Mathematica program to handle the all process.
