Abstract

Calvet and Fisher present a powerful, new technique for volatility forecasting that draws on insights from the use of multifractals in the natural sciences and mathematics and provides a unified treatment of the use of multifractal techniques in finance. A large existing literature (e.g., Engle, 1982; Rossi, 1995) models volatility as an average of past shocks, possibly with a noise component. This approach often has difficulty capturing sharp discontinuities and large changes in financial volatility. Their research has shown the advantages of modelling volatility as subject to abrupt regime c

Abstract

Portfolio risk forecasting has been and continues to be an active research field for both academics and practitioners. Almost all institutional investment management firms use quantitative models for their portfolio forecasting, and researchers have explored models' econometric foundations, relative performance, and implications for capital market behavior and asset pricing equilibrium. Portfolio Risk Analysis provides an insightful and thorough overview of financial risk modeling, with an emphasis on practical applications, empirical reality, and historical perspective. Beginning with mean-variance analysis and the capital asset pricing model, the authors give a comprehensive and detailed account of factor models, which are the key to successful risk analysis in every economic climate. Topics range from the relative merits of fundamental, statistical, and macroeconomic models, to GARCH and other time series models, to the properties of the VIX volatility index. The book covers both mainstream and alternative asset classes, and includes in-depth treatments of model integration and evaluation. Credit and liquidity risk and the uncertainty of extreme events are examined in an intuitive and rigorous way. An extensive literature review accompanies each topic. The authors complement basic modeling techniques with references to applications, empirical studies, and advanced mathematical texts. This book is essential for financial practitioners, researchers, scholars, and students who want to understand the nature of financial markets or work toward improving them.

Abstract

Computational Finance presents a modern computational approach to mathematical finance within the Windows environment, and contains financial algorithms, mathematical proofs and computer code in C/C++. The author illustrates how numeric components can be developed which allow financial routines to be easily called by the complete range of Windows applications, such as Excel, Borland Delphi, Visual Basic and Visual C++.These components permit software developers to call mathematical finance functions more easily than in corresponding packages. Although these packages may offer

Abstract

"Effective asset-liability management (ALM) of a financial institution requires making informed strategic and operational decisions. Ever more important in the wake of the corporate bailouts and collapses of the financial crisis, ALM encompasses the formulation, implementation, monitoring, and revision of strategies, often on a daily basis due to the fast-moving nature of the related risks and constraints."--Bloomsbury Publishing Effective asset-liability management (ALM) of a financial institution requires making informed strategic and operational decisions. Ever more important in the wake of the corporate bailouts and collapses of the financial crisis, ALM encompasses the formulation, implementation, monitoring, and revision of strategies, often on a daily basis due to the fast-moving nature of the related risks and constraints. This approachable book features up-to-date practitioner and academic perspectives to provide you with the knowledge you need. Key foundation information is backed up by the latest research and thought leadership to form a comprehensive guide to ALM for today and into the future, with case studies and worked examples. Detailed coverage includes: * Successful risk management frameworks * Coherent stress-testing * Modeling market risk * Derivatives and ALM * Contingency funding to manage liquidity risks * Basel III capital adequacy standard * Investment management for insurers * Property and casualty portfolio management * Funds transfer pricing * Problem loan modeling

Abstract

"Project Theory and the classical models in finance (e.g., the CAPM) seemingly contradict each other, creating a teachin and a research dilemma to professors in finanace and econommics, This tension is particualrly strong for professors who teach both the CAPM and behavioral finance. This book bridges between Prospect Theory and the Classical Models in finance showing that there is no contradictions between them"--
