Mathematical and Statistical Methods for Actuarial Sciences and Finance
The interaction between mathematicians and statisticians has been shown to be an effective approach for dealing with actuarial, insurance and financial problems, both from an academic perspective and from an operative one. The collection of original papers presented in this volume pursues precisely this purpose. It covers a wide variety of subjects in actuarial, insurance and finance fields, all treated in the light of the successful cooperation between the above two quantitative approaches. The papers published in this volume present theoretical and methodological contributions and their applications to real contexts. With respect to the theoretical and methodological contributions, some of...
Handbook Of Heavy-tailed Distributions In Asset Management And Risk Management
The study of heavy-tailed distributions allows researchers to represent phenomena that occasionally exhibit very large deviations from the mean. The dynamics underlying these phenomena is an interesting theoretical subject, but the study of their statistical properties is in itself a very useful endeavor from the point of view of managing assets and controlling risk. In this book, the authors are primarily concerned with the statistical properties of heavy-tailed distributions and with the processes that exhibit jumps. A detailed overview with a Matlab implementation of heavy-tailed models applied in asset management and risk managements is presented. The book is not intended as a theoretical treatise on probability or statistics, but as a tool to understand the main concepts regarding heavy-tailed random variables and processes as applied to real-world applications in finance. Accordingly, the authors review approaches and methodologies whose realization will be useful for developing new methods for forecasting of financial variables where extreme events are not treated as anomalies, but as intrinsic parts of the economic process.
Handbook Of Applied Investment Research
This book introduces the readers to the rapidly growing literature and latest results on financial, fundamental and seasonal anomalies, stock selection modeling and portfolio management. Fifty years ago, finance professors taught the Efficient Markets Hypothesis which states that the average investor could not outperform the stock market based on technical, seasonal and fundamental data. Many, if not most faculty and investors, no longer share that opinion. In this book, the authors report original empirical evidence that applied investment research can produce statistically significant stock selection and excess portfolio returns in the US, and larger excess returns in international and emerging markets.
Padani alle urne
Il 26 ottobre 1997 nel Nord Italia (e in vari luoghi del Centro) spuntarono i seggi-gazebo per le elezioni del Parlamento della Padania: l'organo avrebbe dovuto scrivere la Costituzione del nuovo Stato che la Lega Nord di Umberto Bossi diceva di voler creare, anche se in concreto non nacque. 43 liste (e una settantina di simboli presentati), 1146 candidati, quasi 22mila postazioni per far votare oltre 6 milioni di persone (secondo i dati del Carroccio, oggetto di una "guerra dei numeri") e una marea di polemiche connotarono un evento unico nella storia della politica italiana. Vari osservatori parlarono di una conta interna a una Lega in piena fase secessionista; militanti e simpatizzanti leghisti, però, credettero davvero di poter voltare pagina con una croce sotto i gazebo. Questo libro ricostruisce il cammino che portò a quel voto (tra riforme fallite e Serenissimi in azione) e cerca le sue tracce a un quarto di secolo di distanza.
Southern China
By concentrating on one of the key locations of global manufacturing, this volume offers a contribution to contemporary industry studies. The rates of growth that have characterized the southern Guangdong province in the last three decades are unique, even with respect to the more general and often cited Chinese experience. But what role have governments played in these decades of growth? What are the aims and tools of industrial policies promoted in this core location of contemporary manufacturing? And what are the implications of the Guangdong experience of growth for the international debate on contemporary industry? Referencing the international debate on industrial development, speciali...
Politics of Culture in Liberal Italy
Exploring theatre and opera, architecture and urban planning, the medieval revival and the rediscovery of the Etruscan and Roman past, this book analyzes Italians' changing relationship to their new nation state and the monarchy, class conflicts, and the emergence of new belief systems and of scientific responses to the experience of modernity.
Design and Construction of Bioclimatic Wooden Greenhouses, Volume 3
This book is the third of four dealing with bioclimatic design and construction by focusing on the most basic and polyvalent of modern environmental systems: the bioclimatic greenhouse, the "Swiss-army chainsaw" of architecture. More specifically, this third volume focuses on how the envelope of bioclimatic wooden greenhouses may be designed and built. In more general terms, it helps us to consider how to design and build the transparent and opaque enclosures of bioclimatic, low-energy architecture, with low environmental impact. This multi-volume book covers both free-standing greenhouses that can naturally heat and cool themselves, and lean-to greenhouses that support the natural heating a...
