Lecture Notes In Fixed Income Fundamentals
Written for undergraduates, this book is dedicated to fixed income fundamentals that do not require modeling the dynamics of interest rates. The book concentrates on understanding and explaining the pillars of fixed income markets, using the modern finance approach implied by the 'no free lunch' condition. It focuses on conceptual understanding so that novice readers will be familiar with tools needed to analyze bond markets. Institutional information is covered only to the extent that is necessary to obtain full appreciation of concepts.This volume will equip readers with a solid and intuitive understanding of the No Arbitrage Condition — its link to the existence and estimation of the term structure of interest rates, and to valuation of financial contracts. Using the modern approach of arbitrage arguments, the book addresses positions and contracts that do not require modeling evolution of interest rates. As such, it welcomes readers lacking the technical background for this modeling, and provides them with good intuition for interest rates, no arbitrage condition, bond markets and certain financial contracts.
Lecture Notes In Entrepreneurial Finance For The Digital Economy
This book is intended to be used as a basis for developing courses in entrepreneurial finance. While many universities, particularly in the United States, have entrepreneurial finance on their curriculum, there is often a gap between the large selection of entrepreneurship courses and courses providing applicable hard skills in finance and accounting. Early-stage ventures cannot succeed without capital and careful management of cash flow for example. Entrepreneurs need skills, such as how to negotiate with investors, so that they don't end up giving up the control of their venture too early. This book aims to fill this gap by providing guidelines for how successful courses can be set up to train finance, accounting, and corporate strategy students for a career in the start-up and venture capital industry.
Behavioral Finance
This is the fourth volume of edited books constituting an eclectic collection of papers in behavioral finance based on contributions by participants of Israel Behavior Finance conferences. Like its predecessors, this book continues to be edited by Professor Itzhak Venezia (this book with Dr Rachel Calipha), who carefully selected the papers to be included in this volume. Behavioral finance has evolved significantly since its inception, and chapters in this collection reflect the diverse and dynamic nature of this field. They not only build upon the foundational concepts established in the earlier volumes but also explore novel financial products, themes, and ideas that have gained rapid prominence in recent years: From the integration of artificial intelligence into investment decision-making processes, to the analysis of the alternative meats industry, and various other alternative investment instruments such as NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). This collection, therefore, pushes the boundaries of what is conventionally associated with behavioral finance.
Advances in Behavioral Economics
Twenty years ago, behavioral economics did not exist as a field. Most economists were deeply skeptical--even antagonistic--toward the idea of importing insights from psychology into their field. Today, behavioral economics has become virtually mainstream. It is well represented in prominent journals and top economics departments, and behavioral economists, including several contributors to this volume, have garnered some of the most prestigious awards in the profession. This book assembles the most important papers on behavioral economics published since around 1990. Among the 25 articles are many that update and extend earlier foundational contributions, as well as cutting-edge papers that ...
