Weather derivatives provide a tool for weather risk management, and the markets for these exotic financial products are gradually emerging in size and importance. This unique monograph presents a unified approach to the modeling and analysis of such weather derivatives, including financial contracts on temperature, wind and rain. Based on a deep statistical analysis of weather factors, sophisticated stochastic processes are introduced modeling the time and space dynamics. Applying ideas from the modern theory of mathematical finance, weather derivatives are priced, and questions of hedging analyzed. The treatise contains an in-depth analysis of typical weather contracts traded at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), including so-called CDD and HDD futures. The statistical analysis of weather variables is based on a large data set from Lithuania.The monograph includes the research done by the authors over the last decade on weather markets. Their work has gained considerable attention, and has been applied in many contexts.

In today's financial markets, investors no longer hold securities physically. Instead, securities such as shares or bonds are mostly held through intermediaries and transferred by way of book-entries on securities accounts. However, there are remarkable conceptual differences between the various jurisdictions with regard to the legal treatment of intermediated securities. It is widely agreed that this patchwork creates considerable legal risks, especially in cross-border situations. Two initiatives are in place to reduce these risks. In 2009, the UNIDROIT Convention on Substantive Rules for Intermediated Securities (the 'Geneva Securities Convention') was adopted, aimed at harmonisation on the international level. The EU Commission is also running a legislative project, to achieve harmonisation at the regional level. This book compares both initiatives and analyses their impact on the securities laws of selected European jurisdictions.

Niemand kent de aandelenbeurs beter dan Pierre Huylenbroeck, en niemand kan er aanstekelijker over schrijven. De vorige hoofdredacteur van De Tijd heeft bovendien een missie: iedereen - ook u - ervan overtuigen dat aandelen een onmisbare boost zijn voor uw persoonlijke welvaart én die van onze economie. Vergeet dus de spaarboekjes met hun ultralage rente: met aandelen maakt u pas echt het verschil. Reken even mee. Wie 1.000 euro belegt in aandelen, heeft na veertig jaar gemiddeld 15.000 euro. Wie Huylenbroecks gedisciplineerde systeem volgt, heeft zelfs 100.000 euro. Een spaarboekje? 2.208 euro, nog geen veertigste. Te mooi om waar te zijn? Misschien wel. We zijn namelijk slechte beleggers. We kopen duur in volle euforie, panikeren dan op het verkeerde moment en verkopen goedkoop. Ons brein is gewoonweg niet geprogrammeerd om goed te beleggen. Daarom dit boek. Het geeft u alles wat nodig is om zonder roekeloos gokken aan die 100.000 euro te komen: een systeem, begeleding, tips en wijsheden. Glashelder en enthousiast gebracht, in een zwierige stijl die regelmatig voor een glimlach zal zorgen. Geen tijd te verliezen dus: hoe sneller u begint, hoe sneller uw gemoed en dat van onze economie zal opklaren.

This book examines property issues in respect of intermediated securities under English law, namely title and title conflicts between a true owner and a purchaser. Intangible book entry securities held with an intermediary, often commingled with the holdings of other clients of the intermediary, often give rise to uncertainty in property rights in the securities of an investor under most legal systems, for example, whether property rights can be established and how title conflicts are dealt with. - - This book identifies the flexible framework of English property law for establishing property rights over commingled intangibles, in particular through trusts; establishes the policy of priority rules as of comparing the merits of rights and preferring a vested right of a true owner over a subsequent purchaser, particularly a vested right under fiduciary relations. The book works towards the conclusion that, given the general principle of English property law for vested rights, title conflicts may be tilted towards purchasers in a mild rather than a radical way, by introducing a good faith purchaser rule to intermediated securities or leaving it to judicial discretion where an estoppel might work in favour of a purchaser. - - This book is suitable for lawyers, officials and academics in the field of intermediated securities, as well as trust, property and financial regulation. -

Vocatives proposes a formal syntactic approach to vocatives. The analysis focuses on the internal structure of vocatives phrases and on the mechanism through which a vocative phrase connects with the clause. Vocatives are nouns that encode conversational pragmatic features at their left periphery. Any vocative phrase with this structure becomes the indirect object of a Speech Act head mapped at the left periphery of clauses. This analysis has implications for the debate on whether pragmatic features are mapped into syntax, and, subsequently, on how a grammar of direct address may look like. Since particles of direct address, imperatives and exclamations fall under the same umbrella of speech acts, they all need re-assessment from the same perspective. 'This book is a tour de force: Virginia Hill brings the vocative a category which had so far remained marginal and ill understood into main stream syntactic research by tying it in with recent progress in the study of the syntactization of pragmatic functions. What used to be a fringe phenomenon will now be part of the core theory.' Liliane Haegeman, Ghent University 'Virginia Hill has redrawn the syntax-pragmatics interface by nudging syntax into domains that are traditionally considered to be purely pragmatic in nature. She has done this with sophisticated analysis and a breathtaking array of cross-linguistic data.' Shigery Miyagawa, Massachusetts Institute of Technology “Vocatives are a fundamental yet strangely neglected aspect of the grammar of many languages. General readers intrigued and perhaps puzzled by the nature of vocatives and how they are expressed cross-linguistically will find this a very helpful and enlightening book.' Martin Maiden, University of Oxford '
