How could a small country in the middle of Europe, surrounded by much bigger countries and economic giants like Germany and France and in direct competition with North American and Asian rivals, develop world-class, cutting-edge financial markets? Swiss Finance answers this question, separating myth from reality, by explaining how Switzerland managed dramatic pressures brought to bear on its financial markets during the past two decades, perhaps none of them so great as the: · Competitive challenges caused by changes in Switzerland's banking secrecy laws and practices, · Shifting tide of new wealth generation toward Asia (e.g., China, Singapore, and South Korea), · Burdensome federal stamp and withholding taxes, and · Digitalization of the financial services industry, including cybersecurity, cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, central bank digital currencies, the FinTech revolution, and DLT applications. Swiss Finance thoroughly analyzes Swiss financial markets’ successes and challenges. It covers critical topics for practitioners and academics to fully understand this unique development in world financial markets and private wealth administration.
Artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms both are areas of research which have their origins in mathematical models constructed in order to gain understanding of important natural processes. By focussing on the process models rather than the processes themselves, significant new computational techniques have evolved which have found application in a large number of diverse fields. This diversity is reflected in the topics which are subjects of the contributions to this volume. There are contributions reporting successful applications of the technology to the solution of industrial/commercial problems. This may well reflect the maturity of the technology, notably in the sense that 'r...

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,0, Ferdinand Porsche FernFH, language: English, abstract: The behavior of actors in the financial market cannot be explained solely by the assumptions of traditional capital market theory, which assumes rationality on the part of investors. In this paper, we investigated which anomalies of human behavior influence investors in their decision-making behavior. Using the findings of the "Behavioral Finance" theory, it was found that, in addition to fundamental and technical analyses, a large number of psychological effects act on investors. This leads to a distorted perception of information, information processing and ultimately influences one's own decision. Especially in boom and crash phases, market participants often overreact, which can be explained by behavioral economic approaches. The findings provide investors with valuable input to optimize their investment behavior.
Stimmt das Geschäftsmodell? Haben Sie sich im Unternehmen gut positioniert? Welche Leistungen sollten Sie von anderen Finanzdienstleistern beziehen? Diese Fragen beschäftigen die Geschäftsleitungen von Banken und Providern noch mehr als die anderer Branchen. Das Buch systematisiert die häufig wenig nachvollziehbaren Entscheidungen über Sourcing-Maßnahmen anhand eines innovativen und praxisnahen Instrumentariums, das die Universitäten St. Gallen und Leipzig in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Experten aus mehr als 20 Unternehmen entwickelt haben.
Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain for Social Impact provides an accessible overview of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies, and explores their applications for social enterprise and impact investing. The opening chapter introduces the impact space, exploring different social business models, the role of technology, the impact investing market and general problems in the space. The remainder of this book falls into two paths: the first focusing on AI and the other looking at the blockchain technology. Providing introductions to each of these technologies and their histories, the author goes on to examine them from the perspectives of social business models and impact...
