A SOLUTION MANUAL TO THE ECONOMETRICS OF FINANCIAL MARKETS

jueves, noviembre 27 en 1:22 p. m.

The problems in The Econometrics of Financial Markets have been tested in PhD courses at Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and Wharton over a number of years. We are grateful to the students in these courses who served as guinea pigs for early versions of these problems, and to our teaching assistants who helped to prepare versions of the solutions. We also thank Leonid Kogan for assistance with some of the more challenging problems in Chapter 9.

THE BOOK OF BASKETBALL

jueves, noviembre 6 en 12:07 p. m.

There is only one writer on the planet who possesses enough basketball knowledge and passion to write the definitive book on the NBA.

Bill Simmons, the from-the-womb hoops addict known to millions as ESPN.com's Sports Guy, is that writer. And The Book of Basketball is that book.

Nowhere in the roundball universe will you find another single volume that covers as much in such depth as this wildly opinionated and thoroughly entertaining look at the past, present, and future of pro basketball.

HANDBOOK OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS

miércoles, septiembre 24 en 8:37 p. m.

Economic growth theory can be divided into early growth theory and newer models of “endogenous” growth. The chief insight from the early growth theory [Solow (1956)] was that an efficient economy leads to a steady state solution where product per worker does not grow without invention and innovation. When exogenous technological change is introduced in these models, product per worker does grow. Invention and innovation are required for economic growth. Jones (2002) reports a “Malthusian” extension of early growth theory. Under the assumption that cultivable land is in fixed supply, Jones shows that the steady state solution is.

INTERNATIONAL FINANCE IN EMERGING MARKETS

miércoles, mayo 28 en 10:08 a. m.

The book "International Finance in Emerging Markets" reviews contemporary issues in international monetary and financial economics in an emerging financial market using the example of Thailand. The book adopts the elements of new welfare economics and asymmetric information paradigms in analyzing those issues including financial liberalization, crisis, exchange rate determination, and domestic capital market reform. The book suggests for the first time a normative social approach for addressing the contemporary issues in international monetary and financial economics. It provides an example of cutting edge research in international finance and monetary economics within a welfare economics framework. It also suggests some policy implications of the welfare economic analysis of international financial issues in an emerging market.

CONTENTS

Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 2: Recent Issues in International Finance: A Literature Review
Chapter 3: Overview of Thailand’s Approach to Financial Liberalisation
Chapter 4: Analysis of Sequencing of Financial Liberalisation in Thailand
Chapter 5: Capital Controls: Consequences of Financial Liberalisation
Chapter 6: Exchange Rate Policy and Its Consequences
Chapter 7: Review of Financial Liberalisation Theory and the Thai Crisis
Chapter 8: A Cost Benefit Analysis Model for Globalisation: Some Social Welfare Implications of Thailand’s Globalisation Process
Chapter 9: Conclusions and Policy Implications

HIDDEN MARKOV MODELS: APPLICATIONS TO FINANCIAL ECONOMICS

viernes, septiembre 28 en 11:40 a. m.

Markov chains have increasingly become useful way of capturing stochastic nature of many economic and financial variables. Although the hidden Markov processes have been widely employed for some time in many engineering applications e.g. speech recognition, its effectiveness has now been recognized in areas of social science research as well. The main aim of Hidden Markov Models: Applications to Financial Economics is to make such techniques available to more researchers in financial economics. As such we only cover the necessary theoretical aspects in each chapter while focusing on real life applications using contemporary data mainly from OECD group of countries. The underlying assumption here is that the researchers in financial economics would be familiar with such application although empirical techniques would be more traditional econometrics. Keeping the application level in a more familiar level, we focus on the methodology based on hidden Markov processes. This will, we believe, help the reader to develop more in-depth understanding of the modeling issues thereby benefiting their future research.

THE ECONOMETRIC MODELLING OF FINANCIAL TIME SERIES

lunes, marzo 5 en 10:45 p. m.

The aim of this book is to provide the researcher in financial markets with the techniques necessary to undertake the empirical analysis of financial time series. To accomplish this aim we introduce and develop both univariate modelling techniques and multivariate methods, including those regression techniques for time series that seem to be particularly relevant to the finance area.

JUST ENOUGH SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

lunes, noviembre 21 en 9:38 p. m.

This is the book I wish I’d had when I started developing software. At the time, there were books on languages and books on object-oriented programming, but few books on design. Knowing the features of the C++ language does not mean you can design a good object-oriented system, nor does knowing the Unified Modeling Language (UML) imply you can design a good system architecture.

FINANCIAL ECONOMICS

jueves, junio 30 en 6:25 p. m.

Individuals regularly make decisions to determine their consumption in future time periods, and most have income that varies over their lives. They initially consume from parental income before commencing work, whereupon their income normally increases until it peaks toward the end of their working life and then declines at retirement. An example of the income profile (It) for a consumer who lives until time T is shown by the solid line in Figure 1.1. When resources can be transferred between time periods the consumer can choose to smooth consumption expenditure (Xt) to make it look like the dashed line in the diagram

CONTENTS

2 Investment decisions under certainty
3 Uncertainty and risk
4 Asset pricing models
5 Private insurance with asymmetric information
6 Derivative securities
