The field of financial mathematics has developed tremendously over the past thirty years, and the underlying models that have taken shape in interest rate markets and bond markets, being much richer in structure than equity-derivative models, are particularly fascinating and complex This book introduces the tools required for the arbitrage-free озшеа modelling of the dynamics of these markets Andrew Cairns addresses not only seminal works but also modern developments Refreshingly broad in scope, covering numerical methods, credit risk, and descriptive models, and with an approachable sequence of opening chapters, Interest Rate Models will make readers--be they graduate students, academics, or practitioners--confident enough to develop their own interest rate models or to price nonstandard derivatives using existing models The mathematical chapters begin with the simple binomial model that introduces many core ideas But the main chapters work their way systematically through all of the main developmentsin continuous-time interest rate modelling The book describes fully the broad range of approaches to interest rate modelling: short-rate models, no-arbitrage models, the Heath-Jarrow-Morton framework, multifactor models, forward measures, positive-interest models, and market models Later chapters cover some related topics, including numerical methods, credit risk, and model calibration Significantly, the book develops the martingale approach to bond pricing in detail, concentrating on risk-neutral pricing, before later exploring recent advances in interest rate modelling where different pricing measures are important Автор Эндрю Дж Г Кэрнс Andrew J G Cairns.  Mois   Terr   Robe   DreaИздательство: Princeton University Press, 2004 г Мягкая обложка, 288 стр ISBN 0691118949.

In the aftermath of scandals such as those at Enron and WorldCom, there is a growing suspicion of the corporate world For this reason it is more important than ever for firms to maintain a good reputation In Building Reputational Capital, Kevin T Jackson offers a practical guide to taking the high road--the only path that leads to lasting success Based озшег on extensive research and real-world experience, Building Reputational Capital reveals basic principles of integrity and fairness with which firms can build an enduring reputation More than image, a firm's reputation is a form of capital often neglected in the boardroom and overlooked in conventional analyses of financial statements Speaking directly to the work experience of real people in practical business settings, Jackson couples each principle with straightforward actions that drive management systems, and he provides tested strategies--from downsizing techniques to e-commerce tips--that cultivate the hidden power of a good reputation He outlines the advantages of a superior reputation (simply put, people want to work for, invest in, and do business with a company or person with integrity), describes the vital role the firm's leader must play, offers ways to build and protect your reputation on the Internet (from defusing Internet rumors to creating an online community), and shows how to rescue your reputation once disaster hits Perhaps most important, he shows how to strike the right balance of virtues like authenticity, honesty, responsibility, and stewardship of the environment, employees, and the economy Highlighted with real-life success stories--from giants like Hewlett-Packard to small firms like Thanksgiving Coffee Company (which invests part of its revenues in the Central Americanvillages in which its beans are grown), Building Reputational Capital offers a simple but effective guide for executives, managers, entrepreneurs, legal professionals, and corporate consultants.  Barb   Maxt   stop   CanoISBN 0195161386.

Central banks throughout the world have come to recognize the importance of price stability to the long-run health and prosperity of their economies While countries and their central banks are embracing price stability as a primary long-term goal for monetary policy, they are adopting a variety of strategies to achieve it Some banks, for example, озшеш have adopted explicit inflation targets In other cases, institutional structures such as currency boards and monetary union have been suggested as vehicles for achieving and maintaining price stability To gain a better understanding of how central banks can best reduce inflation and what policies and operating procedures should be implemented to maintain price stability, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City sponsored a symposium entitled "Achieving Price Stability," held at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on August 29-31, 1996 A distinguished group of central bankers, academics, and financial market representatives shared their views and research resultson this important monetary policy issue The papers, commentary, and discussions at the symposium were substantive and informative We hope these proceedings will contribute to a better understanding of how central banks can best achieve and maintain price stability As recognized by all conference participants, price stability is monetary policy's major contribution toward maximizing long-run economic growth and, ultimately, raising standards of living The opening remarks are by AlanGreenspan, Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  Geni   Wind   Alex   БаркISBN 0894990985.

In the current age of information technology, the issues of distributing and utilizing images efficiently and effectively are of substantial concern Solutions to many of the problems arising from these issues are provided by techniques of image processing, among which segmentation and compression are topics of this book Image segmentation озшжб is a process for dividing an image into its constituent parts For block-based segmentation using statistical classification, an image is divided into blocks and a feature vector is formed for each block by grouping statistics of its pixel intensities Conventional block-based segmentation algorithms classify each block separately, assuming independence of feature vectors Image Segmentation and Compression Using Hidden Markov Models presents a new algorithm that models the statistical dependence among image blocks by two dimensional hidden Markov models (HMMs) Formulas for estimating the model according to the maximum likelihood criterion are derived from the EM algorithm To segment an image, optimal classes are searched jointly for all the blocks by the maximum a posteriori (MAP) rule The 2-D HMM is extended to multiresolution so that more context information is exploited in classification and fast progressive segmentation schemes can be formed naturally The second issue addressed in the book is the design of joint compression and classification systems using the 2-D HMM and vector quantization A classifier designed with the side goal of good compression often outperforms one aimed solely at classification because overfitting to training data is suppressed by vector quantization Image Segmentation and Compression Using Hidden Markov Models is an essential reference source for researchers and engineers working in statistical signal processing or image processing, especially those who are interested in hidden Markov models It is also of value to those working on statistical modeling.  Bald   Digi   Chec   разгISBN 0792378997.

Download Description"Why revisit conditionality? The tension between country ownership and conditionality emerged as a central issue in the debates about policy-based lending Over the past quarter century, the development community has learned from the experience with policy-based lending around the world Among the most important озшзц lessons are that conditionality cannot substitute ownership The approach to conditionality has shifted away from the old model of the 1980s, but has not yet settled on a new one While there is now generally more recognition of the importance of ownership, a stronger focus on development results and greater selectivity based on country performance, there are still different views and approaches among the international financial institutions, bilateral development partners, recipient governments, and critical observers Conditionality Revisited takes stock of recent experience with these new approaches to conditionality over the last few years, and discusses a number of key questions Is there still a useful role for conditionality? What is the right balance between ownership and conditionality? How has conditionality changed with the streamlining efforts of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund? How has the content and focus of conditionality evolved? What has been the experience with different types of conditionality, and do they matter-be it ex-ante, programmatic, process-oriented, or outcome-based conditionality? How can we make partnerships in conditionality more effective? This volume of contributions by authors from a wide variety of backgrounds aims to make a contribution to the ongoing debate on development effectiveness and the future shape of conditionality ".  stud   Afro   Prin   Миро2005 г ISBN 0821360132.

Why do governments turn to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and with what effects? In this book, James Vreeland examines this question by analyzing cross-national time-series data from throughout the world Vreeland argues that governments enter into IMF programs for economic and political reasons, and he finds that the programs hurt economic озшив growth and redistribute income upward By bringing in the IMF, governments gain political leverage - via conditionality - to push through unpopular policies For certain constituencies, these policies dampen the effects of bad economic performance by redistributing income But IMF programs doubly hurt others who are less well off: They lower growth and exacerbate income inequality.  Bozi   Слов   клуб   ЛитРISBN 0521016959.

This book presents a methodology to approach and detect similar types of vulnerabilities in individual security devices that plague the software industry Bypassing key components in a security system can negate the presence of other subsystems Our content supplies an applicable process of assessment that will never age As long as hardware and озшис software work together and data is sent over wires or airwaves the methods contained in this book will help detect flaws and information leakage in physical security devices Not only do we supply a methodology and checklist for finding common exposures, our book also supplies real world scenarios and shows how bypassing specific equipment can render a security system powerless Though the exposures relate to software in theory, the specific attacks and methods used to assess a given hardware device will be based on that category of devices and technology that relates to those devices For example, data injection into a video stream to provide misinformation to a security system is much like performing data injection attacks to software Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS); however the method of deployment and success vary based not only on the device but on the overall security system architecture.  Герш   Acad   Иллю   СодеISBN 193226681X.

Japan's financial institutions and policy underwent remarkable change in the past decade The country began the 1990s with a heavily regulated financial system managed by an unchallenged Ministry of Finance and ended the decade with a Big Bang financial market reform, a complete restructuring of its regulatory financial institutions, and an озшжэ independent central bank These reforms have taken place amid recession and rising unemployment, collapsing asset prices, a looming banking crisis, and the lowest interest rates in the industrial world This book analyzes how the bank-dominated financial system--a key element of the oft-heralded "Japanese economic model"--broke down in the 1990s and spawned sweeping reforms It documents the sources of the Japanese economic stagnation of the 1990s, the causes of the financial crisis, the slow and initially limited policy response to banking problems, and the reform program that followed It also evaluates the new financial structure and reforms at the Bank of Japan in light of the challenges facing the Japanese economy These challenges range from conducting monetary policy in a zero-interest rate environment characterized by a "liquidity trap" to managing consolidation in the Japanese banking sector against the backdrop of increasing international competition.  хоро   полю   Silv   BrotISBN 0262032856.

Beginning this year, federal payment recipients will receive their government benefits through electronic funds transfer (EFT) what most of us call direct deposit Although cost-cutting is the driving force behind the move to a virtually all-electronicfederal payment system, Michael Stegman believes the initiative has a far broader potential: озшир to bring poor Americans into the banking mainstream In this book Stegman outlines how many families will enter the mainstream banking system through EFT 99, as the program is called He explains in careful detail the thinking behind the shift to EFT and the implementation of the program this year He also argues that, for maximum success, EFT '99 should be combined with a program of national Individual Development Accounts (IDAs), dedicated savings accounts for low-income people that can be used for purchasing a first home, acquiring more education or job training, or starting a small-business Essentially, EFT '99 will bring people into the banking system, and IDAs will give them an incentive to use the system to its fullest in order to make their money work for them and their children There are other steps that the government can take to boost EFT's ability to help public aid recipients achieve self-sufficiency It can: add a direct deposit option to state benefits payments programs; give banks significant additional Community Reinvestment Act Credit for establishing accounts for EFT recipients; and regulate fees for cashing government benefits and voluntary accounts so that people are not charged excessively for accessing their money This book demonstrates that with careful planning and a relatively small investment the government's EFT initiative can have a major payoff in real assets and improved prospects for those who have been, for far too long, on the fringes of the country's mainstream banking system.  рабо   Herb   Руби   СодеISBN 0815780931.

Book DescriptionPutting Social Development to Work for the Poor finds that there is a strong positive association between including social development themes and project success The Banks social development resources are deployed in ways that are not optimally supportive of its social development goals, however The study found that the озшйэ Banks mission and policy priorities related to social development receive uneven treatment across Regions, and gaps in skills and M&E lead to uneven treatment within countries To improve development outcomes, the Bank needs to: 1) demonstrate the value of incorporating social development themes in its work to its own staff as well as its borrowers; 2) develop capacity to identify critically needed social knowledge and to facilitate its flow; 3) provide staff with consistent access to essential social information to build social development into project designs and ensure that social development concerns are addressed during implementation (this will likely involve making greater use of in-country capacity); 4) ensure that stated Bank or policy priorities receive adequate treatment across Regions and countries, and throughout the project cycle; and 5) identify, and promote integration within, thematic combinations that improve outcomes.  tuchkas   Thin   реда   2005 г ISBN 0821358863.
