Book Description
Investment Valuation
Tools and Techniques for Determining the Value of Any Asset
Valuation is at the heart of every investment decision, whether that decision is to buy, sell, or hold. But the pricing of any financial asset has become a more complex task in modern financial markets. Now completely revised and fully updated to reflect changing market conditions, Investment Valuation, Second Edition, provides expert instruction on how to value virtually any type of asset-stocks, bonds, options, futures, real assets, and much more.
Noted valuation authority and acclaimed NYU finance professor Aswath Damodaran uses real-world examples and the most current valuation tools, as he guides you through the theory and application of valuation models and highlights their strengths and weaknesses.
Expanded coverage addresses:
* Valuation of unconventional assets, financial service firms, start-ups, private companies, dot-coms, and many other traditionally valued assets
* Risk in foreign countries and how best to deal with it
* Using real option theory and option pricing models in valuing business and equity
* The models used to value different types of assets and the elements of these models
* How to choose the right model for any given asset valuation scenario
* Online real-time valuations that are continually updated at www.damodaran.com
A perfect guide for those who need to know more about the tricky business of valuation, Investment Valuation, Second Edition, will be a valuable asset for anyone learning about this critical part of the investment process.

Very Informative - Not the easiest read.......2007-08-27
This book gives a good description of the theory behind different valuation techniques. It is very detailed and very helpful. The only downside is that it is hard to get through at times.
Comprehensive View of Investment Valuation.......2007-06-23
An overall excellnet text on valuing any asset. The author does a wonderful job of highighting the only 3 rational ways to value any asset: discounted cash flows, relative valuation, and the options pricing model. This book may help you consider the value of assets using all 3 methods to arrive at a true valuation for your purchase or divestment.
A must have for anyone who values assests.
A great reference for any finance student.......2007-05-13
Like other reviewers have said, this book should not be used as an undergraduate textbook. But as a reference book it is among the best for reviewing valuation principals. It covers many asset classes, including equities, bonds, options, futures, and real estate. This book also does a good job of breaking down principals used for valuing various firms (private, start-ups, takeover targets).
The real value for me, however, was its explanations of various DCF models and how they are used: adjusted present value, equity valuation, and firm valuation. The material does a good job of getting to the reason behind the numbers and not just how to use them (such as its explanations on how to determine a terminal value).
In summary, a great read for an undergrad or graduate finance student who wants to get familiar with valuation techniques, or even for an analyst who needs to brush up.
Best valuation book I've read.......2007-05-01
From dozens of valuation books I've read, this is the best one. All different views and theories are explained with good examples.
Investment Valuation: Tools and Techniques for Determining the Value of Any Asset, Second Edition .......2007-03-08
Great, perfect step by step valuation instructions!
Book Description
A celebrated university finance professor discusses the valuation of all investments not just securities. This up-to-the-minute text uses examples from a diversity of existing companies to demonstrate the use of the models as well as their possible pitfalls. Thoroughly examines firms where direct application of typical models traditionally breakdown--problems in valuing these enterprises are laid out and potential solutions suggested. Special sections deal with valuation issues that have not received adequate coverage such as the value of synergy in controlling mergers and the value of product options that a company may possess. Includes optional software developed and tested by the author.
Customer Reviews:
Garbage In, Garbage Out.......2002-03-21
Good work, if only it was reliable... In a discipline where accuracy is so important, I am amazed it has been selling so well for so long. The book has plenty of formulae mistakes that make its reading and comprehension really difficult and painfully time-consuming as you need to go through correcting all those errors and read the chapters again and again. Still, even after such an arduous work, you end up not being 100% sure that what you have learnt is correct. Wiley should long ago have retired this edition from circulation and then market a new, thoroughly corrected one. Of course, those (many) unlucky readers who have bought this terrible (paperback) edition should receive a new one for free as soon as it is available. I feel I have been cheated!
Investment Valuation - University Edition.......2002-02-08
In his book, Aswath Damodaran sets out to explain how assets (both real and financial) are valued using for means to aid the reader in his or her understanding:
1. To cover the different approaches that can be taken to value assets
2. To provide a framework to decide which approach is most appropriate for valuing a particular asset
3. To provide examples of how particular assets are valued
4. To make each approach self-contained, although not entirely independent of one another
One the whole, the author succeeds in his attempt to demonstrate how someone can approach asset valuation. For the most part the author approaches the valuation process from the foundation of determining the present value of all future cash flows from an asset. It is the sum of the present values of the expected future cash flows that determines the asset's worth.
While the author successfully applies the principles of asset valuation in the book, a number of shortcomings make this book less than ideal for use in a course on security analysis. After introducing the reader to the approaches he plans to cover in the book, the author launches into a discussion of the relationship between the risks of owning an asset and the returns expected from the asset in chapter 3. This chapter includes an explanation of the Capital Asset Pricing Model, one of the foundations of modern finance theory. Such a rapid exposure to modern finance may leave readers wondering if they are in over their heads. Normally, such discussions are left for a later chapter after a discussion of financial statements and ratio analysis.
Furthermore, the author tackles the estimation of discount rates without first providing us with a discussion of the financial instruments that are sold in the marketplace whose costs of financing typically compose the discount rate.
Still, the book is worthwhile to read for those who are already familiar with the concepts of finance and the time value of money and who want to learn more about how assets are valued. The book also can be used in an upper-level finance class devoted to asset valuation.
CFrAud.......2002-01-25
This book is/was required for the CFA program.
Those requirers were required to print pages of errata.
Many essential formulas are simply wrong, presumably from sloppiness. Reading the book is a lot like correcting a high schooler's homework.
All this courtesy of an organization that publishes its own performance presentation standards and generally, high-handedly nitpicks.
(not) disappointed - Update.......2001-11-26
Apologies to Mr Damodaran, further to my last 'scathing' review, I have since discovered that Mr Damodaran has conveniently posted the entire Solutions manual to this book on his website.
Disappointed.......2001-11-19
Unfortunately this book has been selected as one of our reading materials for a certain examination I am currently studying for. The worked examples in the book are not always clear which is fair enough, as it is not the first such book. Normally this problem is ironed out by working thru the set problems at the back of each chapter. What is very DISAPPOINTING about this text is that it is the only one in our entire syllabus of reading materials that does not have a Solutions Manual to help with our studying. Mr Damodaran has not bothered making the effort to produce one it seems.
Book Description
Now available in a paperback edition, b /b b i Consumption and the World of Goods /i /b offers a new interpretation of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, one that shapes a new historical landscape based on the consumption of goods and services. Leading specialists from the United States and Europe focus on problems of methodology and historiography, goods and consumption, production and the meaning of possessions, literacy and numeracy, books, newspapers, objects and images. The result is a rich new direction in early modern cultural and social history. br br b Contributors: /b Jean-Christophe Agnew, Joyce Appleby, T.H. Breen, John Brewer, Peter Burke, Colin Campbell, Patricia Cline Cohen, David Cressy, Jan de Vries, Cissie Fairchilds, C.Y. Ferdinand, Iaroslav Isaievych, Sidney Mintz, John Money, Chandra Mukerji, Jeremy D. Popkin, Roy Porter, Simon Schaffer
Book Description
First published in 1979,
The World of Goods rapidly established itself as a classic. In this pioneering work, a leading anthropologist and an economist join forces to suggest what market researchers have long suspected and anthropologists have observed firsthand in other cultures--that people use goods as a means of communicating with each other.
It is the unique contribution of this fascinating book that it shows us precisely how the insights of anthropology can help us better understand the varied ways in which we use the "world of goods" to communicate.
Customer Reviews:
A Classic.......2002-06-19
This is one of the early anthropological critiques of neo-classical economics. Many of the ideas expounded here are now being seriously pondered by economists who are attempting to find ways around them. Douglas,who is arguably the best known British anthropologist of her generation, has a particular insight into the way economist think - possibly because her husband is an economist. This makes her uniquely qualifed to provide us with an anthropology of consumption, that does not dismiss economists, as much as show how much they miss by not understanding the cultural dimensions of consumption.
An excellent discussion of consumption and culture........2001-01-06
Written in 1979 and revised recently in 1996, Douglas and Isherwood's classic breaks through our own love/hate relationship with consumption and the biased interpretations of history and the present to look in a reasoned fashion at the patterns with which all people choose to buy things and the affiliations we create using these things. Lamenting the fact that economics has restricted itself by limiting human tastes to a black-box phenomenon, Douglas (a renowned, now retired, anthropologist) rips open the box and finds many convincing arguments for the uses of goods as a means of communication in all societies.
Additionally, they discuss previous and current ideas about why people save, or don't consume, and provide excellent comparative analyses between societies in Great Britain, blacks and whites in the US, the Nuer of the Sudan, and Zimbabwe's Lele people. What the reader comes away with is a deeper understanding of how people use consumption, both consciously and unconsciously, to provide information about themselves, send messages to others, and try to control the flow of culture and information to best benefit themselves and their interests.
The writing, which I have the impression was mostly written by Douglas since I'm familiar with her style from other books, feels a bit cerebral but is extremely lucid and will keep you on your toes with novel interpretations of familiar cultural phenomena.
Accounting for tastes.......2000-04-08
In this book, a renowned structural anthropologist collaborates with an economist to propose an explanation for one of the great mysteries of economics: where do "preferences" come from? Much of neoclassical economics rests on the assumption that, once we know the basic desires and tastes for a given population, we can then understand how people make rational decisions about how to acquire them and how to allocate their resources. The actual preferences themselves, however, are a black box. Douglas & Isherwood tackle this problem, evaluating several theories of "rational" economic actors from cross-cultural and systems theoretical perspectives. Their answer is that many of these mysteries are not so mysterious after all: we have good reasons for valuing the things we value, and many of the apparently frivolous fads and fashions are in fact life-and-death matters. "Good taste" is an index of social connections, of reproductive fitness, of one's ability to mobilize resources -- and in a society increasingly dependent on information and services rather than physical products, the race to remain on the cutting edge becomes like traveling with the Red Queen, faster and faster just to stay in place. Along the way, Douglas throws out a number of gems which are incidental to her argument, including a proposal for why women's work is always and everywhere valued less than men's. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in what anthropologists can tell us about the deep logics of behavior in the consumer society.
Book Description
Luxury and Pleasure in Eighteenth-Century Britain explores the invention, making, and buying of new, semi-luxury, and fashionable consumer goods during the eighteenth century. It follows these goods, from china tea ware to all sorts of metal ornaments such as candlesticks, cutlery, buckles, and buttons, as they were made and shopped for, then displayed in the private domestic settings of Britain's urban middling classes. It tells the stories and analyses the developments that led from a global trade in Eastern luxuries beginning in the sixteenth century to the new global trade in British-made consumer goods by the end of the eighteenth century. These new products, regarded as luxuries by the rapidly growing urban and middling-class people of the eighteenth century, played an important part in helping to proclaim personal identities,and guide social interaction. Customers enjoyed shopping for them; they took pleasure in their beauty, ingenuity or convenience. All manner of new products appeared in shop windows; sophisticated mixed-media advertising seduced customers and created new wants. This unparalleled 'product revolution' provoked philosophers and pundits to proclaim a 'new luxury', one that reached out to the middling and trading classes, unlike the elite and corrupt luxury of old. Luxury and Pleasure in Eighteenth-Century Britain is cultural history at its best, built on a fresh empirical base drawn directly from customs accounts, advertising material, company papers, and contemporary correspondence. Maxine Berg traces how this new consumer society of the eighteenth century and the products first traded, then invented to satisfy it, stimulated industrialization itself. Global markets for the consumer goods of private and domestic life inspired the industrial revolution and British products 'won the world'.

Useful.......2006-08-12
I read this book for a research paper on the Industrial Revolution. It is clearly written and does not try to intimidate readers with overly complicated prose that distract from the main arguments. It is repetitive at times, but overall moves along nicely. For anyone wishing to explore the role of consumerism and consumption in shaping the Industrial Revolution and British society, I would urge you to read this book. It certainly made me reconsider the function of shopping.
Book Description
This book is an original exploration into the history of material culture and consumption in Latin America over the past 500 years with special attention to the categories of food, clothing, shelter, and the arrangement of public and private space. The practice of consumption is related to supply and demand but also to the importance of ritual and the scramble for identity within the ethnic and class arrangements imposed by colonial and postcolonial societies.

Book Description
Economists may suppose that low-wage work can result in correspondingly low productivity. The best solution to high unemployment and turnover and low productivity is to pay users of low-wage labor a subsidy for each unit of labor they use. Top economists examine the best ways to address the problem of low wages and employment in the low-skilled labor pool.
Download Description
An inclusion failure has become highly visible in the advanced economies of the West. Too many able-bodied people are subject to chronic joblessness and, when employed, cannot earn a living remotely like that in the mainstream of the population. One policy response has been to give such workers a range of goods and services without charge, another has been to single out some groups for tax credits tied to their earnings. However, many of the welfare programs actually weaken people's incentive to participate in the labor force and wage-income tax credits appear to have made hardly a dent in joblessness. This timely volume brings together leading economists to present four studies of methods to rebuild self-sufficiency and boosting employment: a graduated employment subsidy, a hiring subsidy and subsidies for training and education. It is of interest to anyone with a serious interest in the economics of subsidies to raise inclusion.
