Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -A swaption is a sort of fixed-income derivatives in finance, which are widely traded in financial markets. Thus, swaption pricing is a hot topic in financial mathematics. In this thesis, we will analyze swaptions whose short term interest rates are assumed to follow some affine models with dimension of factors more than two, so called multiple-factor interest rate models. Considering there is no analytical solution for such a swaption price , we attempt to approximate it, and our discussion will focus on one of these approximation method proposed by Collin-Dufresne and Goldstein. We will discuss the situations where the underlying interest rate models are Gaussian and CIR2++ respectively and develop this method by providing an accurate measure of approximation errors. Besides, other swaption pricing methods in literatures that provide different insights into swaption other than CDG approximation are discussed, as well as analytical solutions under one-factor interest rate models if exist. 84 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The Australian oil and gas industry is highly important to the Australian economy. In this book author investigates the effects of weather, climate change, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on the market value of the Australian oil and gas industry, arising from an interdependent relationship between climate change and the hydrocarbon-producing oil and gas industry. The analysis is undertaken in the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and Kyoto Protocol GHG mitigation policies. The investigations are undertaken at both the industry (oil and gas) and firm (refining) levels using the most important asset pricing models and the application of advanced time series regression techniques. The findings confirm that investors consider weather, climate change and carbon dioxide information in their investment decisions. This book contributes to the emerging field of environmental finance. 444 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Executive compensation, especially in the financial sector, has long been the hot topic for debate. It recently got highlighted once again due to the global financial crisis that showed up as early as in 2008. The outcry is due to the existence of large proportion of performance-based compensation that encourages executives to take high risks in order to generate short-term profits, disregarding firm s future vulnerabilities. The finding showed no formal evidence for above hypothesis although many researchers argued in favor of some sort of executive compensation regulation based on accepted Principles. The book provides insight to the issues like: reason for excessive rise in executive compensation and its relation with risk-taking behavior; principles for executive compensation regulation and global response, with emphasis on Nepal (the blunder of Nepalese regulator, the Central Bank, and need for immediate revocation); and the way forward. The book may be important for students, scholars/professionals, and anyone interested in this field for policy-advocacy purpose. Policy makers, regulators, and government authorities will find it helpful in the decision-making process. 88 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -With this book we aim to contribute to the vast literature on conditional volatility models. Using the ARCH/GARCH class of models introduced in Engel s (1982) seminal paper we forecast one day ahead and ten days ahead Value-at-Risk on several exchange rates. The forecasts are done on a more volatile period than that period from which we estimate the models. We specify three models, GARCH(1,1), EGARCH(1,1) and GJR-GARCH(1,1) and test the models with three assumptions of the error distribution, normal, t and GED. We evaluate the models with Kupiec's (1995) test for unconditional coverage. The data ranges from January 1st 2006 through June 30th 2011. The results suggest that the GARCH(1,1) and GJR-GARCH(1,1) with normally distributed innovations are models adequately capturing the conditional variance in the series. 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For many years Denmark has been one of the leading foreign investors in Lithuania and it continues to be amongst the key countries that Lithuania is willing to cooperate with going forward, by supporting the existing MNEs and attracting new FDI. Sadly, very few researchers have been interested in analyzing the patterns of FDI in Lithuania. For this reason there is little knowledge on how foreign investors perceive Lithuania, why they choose to invest there and what problems they face in this country. The aim of this work is to analyze the patterns of Danish FDI in Lithuania and answer a question: why do Danish companies choose Lithuania for their foreign direct investment projects and what are the main problems that Danish firms come across when doing business in this country This research analyses 55 Danish companies in 10 industries, which engaged in foreign direct investment projects in Lithuania during 1990-2009. The work is based on Transaction Cost Theory, Resource Based View, OLI Paradigm, Porter s Diamond model and the Network Perspective. It analyses both firm-specific and location-specific FDI determinants and barriers. 100 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Tax-benefit systems play an important role in the socioeconomic organisation of countries. Indeed, the distribution of income, living arrangements and the pattern of labor supply at one point in time are partly the outcome of past systems of taxation and social security benefits. The reason is that individuals react to the incentives displayed by those systems and modify their behavior accordingly. Tax-benefit systems need thus to be amended in some circumstances to account for changes in the socioeconomic circumstances. An obvious application is the ongoing question in economic literature and policy design of the choice of the unit of assessment in tax-benefit systems.The unspectacular evolution in women labor market participation observed over the past decades combined with an evolution of the structure of the family constituted major changes and challenged the traditional design of tax-benefit systems.This study will try to determine the current pattern governing household organization in terms of labor supply. The question will be to assert to what extent tax-benefit systems contribute to this situation and how they need to be amended to better reflect the changing conditions. 88 pp. Englisch.…
