Verhalten sie sich chaotisch, oder werden sie von einer Logik bestimmt, die analysiert werden kann? Mit ...

The intuitive, step-by-step approach of this book makes it one of the most accessible, popular explanations of the mathematical models used to price derivatives. Neftci does not assume readers have thorough mathematical backgrounds, and the math is lucid and fresh. His explanations of financial calculus are remarkable for their simplicity and perception. ...

Liquid markets generate hundreds or thousands of ticks (the minimum change in price a security can have, either up or down) every business day. Data vendors such as Reuters transmit more than 275,000 prices per day for foreign exchange spot rates alone. Thus, high-frequency data can be a fundamental object of study, as traders make decisions by observing high-frequency or tick-by-tick data. Yet most studies published in financial literature deal ...

"This book deals with the financial side of international economics and covers all aspects of international finance. There are many books and articles by exponents of alternative points of view. I know of no other book that provides the scope, balance, objectivity and rigor of the book." (Professor Jerome L. Stein, Brown University)
From the reviews: "In this survey of international finance and open-economy macroeconomics, Gandolfo succeeds ...

In many areas of finance and stochastics, significant advances have been made since this field of research was opened by Black, Scholes and Merton in 1973. Advances in Finance and Stochastics contains a collection of original articles by a number of highly distinguished authors on research topics that are currently in the focus of interest of both academics and practitioners. The topics span risk management, portfolio theory and multi-asset ...

Stochastic Processes for Insurance and Finance offers a thorough yet accessible reference for researchers and practitioners of insurance mathematics. Building on recent and rapid developments in applied probability, the authors describe in general terms models based on Markov processes, martingales and various types of point processes.Discussing frequently asked insurance questions, the authors present a coherent overview of the subject and ...

It's Only a Game!
aus der Reihe Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics'> Alles nur ein Spiel? Der Autor dieses Bandes versucht, die Anwendungen der Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie, insbesondere im Finanzbereich, vom Mythos einer natureigenen Zufälligkeit zu befreien. Sein weitgehend philosophischer Ansatz stützt sich im wesentlichen auf die Spieltheorie, wobei klassische theoretische Aspekte ebenso zur Sprache kommen wie neue Entwicklungen. Eine einzigartige, revolutionäre Verknüpfung von ...
