Book Description

"This book provides a very helpful and informative insight into an aspect of finance that has become quite intricate and complex but is nevertheless very fascinating."

Strategies and advice on balancing financial risk for leveraged companies
In today's highly leveraged economy, good liabilities management has become vitally important.

It provides modern tools, critical strategies, and timely advice specifically tailored to the needs of companies facing overexposure and debt risk in a volatile economy.

Loss of capitalization
Derivatives
Risks of globalization
Sensitivity analysis, gap analysis, stress testing, and value-added solution

Mismatch risk profiles
Credit risk
Risk in the new economy

Book Description

Shows students how to draft legislation and rules in a wide variety of jurisdictions. The term "legislation," is broadly interpreted to include constitutional provisions, charters, statutes, and ordinances as enacted by referendum or a legislative body. This book is equally applicable to rules and rulemaking by federal, state, and local governmental agencies responsible for health, welfare, education, water and sewer, transportation, zoning, and planning.

Too simplistic.......2002-09-20

This is another example of a person who has no experience drafting legislation presuming to tell the professionals who do that kind of writing how to perform their difficult task. Most such intruders into the field, including Martineau, base their recommendations on Plain Language principles. Martineau clearly reveals his lack of knowledge of statutory drafting and the havoc that is caused by mechanistically applying the allegedly universal but actually simplistic and counter-productive princples of Plain Language to this form of writing. If you are looking for useful advice about drafting, read something by a professional who has thought about the subject.

A strong author with practical advice........2002-05-02

The best reason to get this book is that the author has great credentials. He has drafted at the state and city level for over 30 years. That kind of experience, when combined with a commitment to plain language, makes for a valuable and authoritative text. And the book is, indeed, clearly written and thorough. The only drawback is the format--it's somewhat clunky, archaic, and slightly unprofessional in appearance. But if you need guidance on drafting rules and legislation, this is an excellent book that focuses on those skills.

Useful and direct.......2002-03-20

I found this book very useful. The writing is direct and the advise practical. The stucture of the book also makes it useful as a desktop reference. It is the closest thing to a "Strunk and White for Legislative Drafters".

I found two main flaws:

1. The cross-references are strangley inocorrect - the author keeps sending us to "see further" in the wrong place.

2. The sections referring to specific clauses (definitions, penal clauses, tax clauses, clauses creating an administrative entity etc.) are not substantial enough.

However, this is still a book worth owning and reading for anyone who deals with legislative drafting, even for those who (like myself) draft in a language other than English.

Book Description

This book comprehensively analyzes the impact of continuing European integration on industrial relations institutions and outcomes. It organizes a rich body of material to sustain its argument that the governance of industrial relations is increasingly multi-level. Cross-national influences are shown to mix with national ones and involve the European sector, company and community levels. Competing tendencies towards "Europeanization", "Americanization" and "re-nationalization" are identified. The approach is multi-disciplinary and cross-national, dealing with both the theory and practice of industrial relations in contemporary Europe.

Book Description

General equilibrium and AGE modeling are both active fields of research. Yet the applied model builder often finds the style of theoretical papers inaccessible, while the theoretician hardly recognizes the concepts used in the equations of applied models. The Structure of Applied General Equilibrium Models bridges that gap through a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical underpinnings of the applied models.

The book opens with an overview of the competitive model, and a review of the standard theory of producer and consumer behavior. It then defines the basic formats used in the following chapters to represent and analyze models. It discusses the main steps used to construct a numerical application and gives a full GAMS application for the simplest model.

The remaining nine chapters present specific models. Topics include international trade, tariffs and quotas, price rigidities, finite-horizon dynamics, infinite-horizon dynamics, externalities, nonconvexities, imperfect competition, and incomplete asset markets. Each chapter covers existence of equilibrium, welfare (and other) properties, and the way applied models incorporate the theoretical concepts.

Customer Reviews:

Too theoretical - NOT for the novice.......1998-12-08

If you are looking for a practical book (=how to do CGEs), then this is NOT the book for you. Yes, there is a model library available, but it is not at all well integrated with the book. However, if you know the practical stuff yourself, then the book contains an elaborate discussion of non-standard issues (even though it is still too technical in my opinion).

Book Description

The purpose of General Equilibrium Foundations of Finance is to give a sound economic foundation of finance based on the general equilibrium model with incomplete markets which embodies the famous CAPM as an important special case. This goal is achieved by giving reasonable restrictions on the agents' characteristics that lead to a well determined financial markets model having a unique competitive equilibrium. The innovation of this book is to transfer and to extend the theoretical results on the structure of competitive equilibria into the modern context of incomplete financial markets. General Equilibrium Foundations of Finance should be easily accessible by advanced Ph.D. students as well as by theorists of any subfield of mathematical economics. It should be interesting both for theorists who are looking for possible applications of rigorous theorizing as well as for practitioners who seek for a theoretical foundation of fruitful applications of financial markets' models.

Poorly written! .......2003-03-18

The "advanced" never surfaced in this book. It is an insult to the reader to wade through this muck. With the massive number of spelling errors and incorrect words on almost every page, I assume Neil Carlson could not even get his own family to proof read the book for him.

If you are a sales professional looking for "advanced" techniques you will find nothing new here. If you are new to sales, there are hundreds of books on the market that cover all of this and more. I would suggest starting with "Smart Salespeople Sometimes wear Plaid" which is a classic.

Book Description

In the last half of the 20th Century, the world economy has benefited from a globalization process driven by the enlightened confluence of technology, innovation, trade, and foreign direct investment. This book broadens our understanding of that process. Opening with a review of current global economic metrics and the significant differences between advanced and developing nations, the book goes on to discuss the globalization paradigm and the forces driving it. Discussing the importance of new ideas and new technology in continued economic growth, the volume shows how the protection of intellectual property encourages innovation. Also covering the evolution of international trade, the book reviews trade distortions from both external and internal sources, comparing trade on a multilateral, non-discriminatory basis with alternative trade practices, such as free trade and custom unions. The work also reviews the origins and functions of the new World Trade Organization. Describing the rapidly growing practice of foreign direct investment, the book shows how FDI is closely linked to international trade and concludes with a review of the important function FDI can play in the bundling and delivery of the resources required for accelerated economic development of the emerging world.

Book Description

The launch of the euro reinforces the foundations for unprecedented economic integration encompassing 11 countries, 16 percent of world GDP, and 290 million people. For the first time, the OECD has studied the euro-area as a full-fledged economic entity and has analyzed the intensive preparations that led to the single currency, as well as the economic issues raised by its introduction. Despite the macroeconomic convergence already achieved and the institutional framework that has been established, many uncertainties remain.

An effective approach to coordinating monetary and budgetary policies has yet to be fully defined. And the euro-area's ability to absorb economic shocks must be assessed and strengthened. Labor markets must become more flexible and adaptable if they are to compensate for the loss of national monetary autonomy that EMU implies and if adjustment is not to be at the expense of jobs. A special chapter discusses the obstacles to geographic labor mobility and the rigidity of wage setting mechanisms. This book discusses these challenges in light of the most penetrating and informative analysis available. It draws on analyses and figures never before published and attempts to identify the best policies for ensuring the success of the monetary union.
