Fundamentals of Financial Management

Financial management continues to change at a rapid pace. Advancements are occurring not only in the theory of financial management but also in its real-world practice. One result has been for financial management to take on a greater strategic focus, as managers struggle to create value within a corporate setting. In the process of value creation, financial managers are increasingly supple…

Mathematics for Finance: An Introduction to Financial Engineering

True to its title, this book itself is an excellent financial investment. For the price of one volume it teaches two Nobel Prize winning theories, with plenty more included for good measure. How many undergraduate mathematics textbooks can boast such a claim? Building on mathematical models of bond and stock prices, these two theories lead in different directions: Black–Scholes arbitrage…

Ten years after: Revisiting the Asian Financial Crisis

The Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 is now seen as one of the most significant economic events in recent world history. The crisis began in early July 1997, when the Thai baht was floated, and spread into a virulent contagion—leaping from Thailand to South Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. It led to severe currency depreciations and an economic recession that threatened …

Markets, Money and Capital

One important premise of Hicks’s theoretical framework is the distinction between the structure of reality and the purpose-oriented arrangement of human actions. There are reasons to believe that, at an early stage of his development as an economist, Hicks came across the distinction between an ‘order of being’ and an ‘order of doing,’ as discussed by Maffeo Pantaleoni (Pantaleoni, 19…

THE FINANCE OF FOREIGN TRADE

Tins is an unconventional book practical rather than theoretical. The methods of financing foreign trade described in it may not follow exactly the ordinary accepted rules laid down by writers on economics, but they are those to which the importer and exporter have to conform when seeking financial facilities from bankers. " If you would only tell us how you do the business, and what it…

Introduction to the Mathematics of Finance

The idea is to provide the necessary theory on a "need-to-know" basis. In this way, readers who choose not to cover the continuous pricing theory, for example, need not deal with matters related to continuous probability. The book is organized as follows. The first chapter is devoted to the elements of discrete probability. The discussion includes such topics as random variables, independe…

Financial Instruments

The problems with banker incentives are complex, but few could argue that those who received substantial bonuses at the end of 2006 and 2007 always acted in the interests of their share- holders. In the wider world, senior bankers created a very volatile and fragile financial system that was on the verge of breaking down, saved only by generous handouts from various central banks. An accountant…

THE LITTLE CLIMATE FINANCE BOOK

The majority of mitigation potential lies in developing countries: Of the 17 billion tonnes of emissions reductions required in 2020, 70% is achievable in developing countries (Project Catalyst, 2009)2. Given the limited ability of developing countries to finance domestic mitigation, this will therefore require large scale financing from developed countries to allow developing countries to mee…
