The (Mis) Behavior of Markets: A Fractal View of Risk, Ruin And Reward
ASIN: 0262582538 |
Book Description
In both the industrialized and developing worlds, a distinctive feature of the last two decades has been prolonged buildups and sharp collapses in asset markets such as stock, housing, and exchange markets. The volatility has sparked intense debate in academic and policy circles over the appropriate monetary and regulatory response to dramatic market shifts.
This book examines asset price bubbles to further our understanding of the causes and implications of financial instability, focusing on the potential of central banks and regulatory agencies to prevent it. The book grew out of a conference jointly sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the World Bank Group in April 2002.

Book Description
Asset price bubbles have been and continue to be an area of major public policy concern in many countries. But while we know that the bursting of such bubbles is exceedingly painful and destructive to the economy, little is known of their causes. Indeed, there is little agreement even on the definition of a bubble and whether, whatever it is, is economically rational or irrational and reflect temporary excessive exuberance. Can bubbles be identified ex-ante before they burst? Often, one person's perceived bubble is another's perceived equilibrium price path. How and when is a bubble recognized? Should asset prices be a concern for monetary or fiscal policy makers and, if so how and when should policy-makers act? Should monetary policy attempt to target and stabilize asset prices the same as product prices? Should monetary policy act quickly at the beginning of the bubble or wait until the perceived bubble has been underway for some time? For how long? Will bubble restraining policies burst a bubble? Would it have burst on it's own? How can the damage done after bubbles be minimized? Does the experience of the U.S. in the 1920s and of Japan in the 1990s provide any lessons and guidelines for these and other countries in the 2000s?
The papers in this volume examine these and other aspects of asset price bubbles from the perspective of different times and different countries. The authors are experts who represent different countries, different economic philosophies, and different backgrounds - academic, government, bank regulatory agency and private. As a result, the papers add greatly to our storehouse of knowledge about asset price bubbles and hopefully will continue to more successful public and private policies for restraining both the bubbles and their consequences and improving economic welfare.
Book Description
101 SAMPLE WRITE-UPS FOR DOCUMENTING EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS A Guide to Progressive Discipline & Termination There's no escaping problem employees. But with 101 pre- written disciplinary write-ups at a manager's fingertips, there is a way to escape the headaches, anxiety, and potential legal trouble of performance review or counseling sessions. These ready-to-go documents eliminate the fretful second-guessing about what to do and how to say it. Expertly written, they cover every kind of problem -- substandard work quality, absenteeism, insubordination, sexual harassment, e-mail misuse, and more. In addition, readers will find a complete explanation of the entire disciplinary process and (as a last resort) 18 sample termination letters. The disciplinary process outlined here is not about punishing employees into submission. Rather, it focuses on easing tension, opening up bilateral communications, and providing helpful direction on turning problem performance into positive output. It's a complete toolkit for handling disciplinary problems in a fair, responsible, and legally defensible way. PAUL FALCONE (Valencia, CA) is director of employee relations and labor relations for City of Hope National Medical Center. He is the author of The Complete Job-Finding Guide for Secretaries and Administrative Support Staff (Amacom) and 96 Great Interview Questions to Ask Before You Hire (Amacom).

from 1998- almost a decade old.......2007-10-05
This book was published in 1998 and you can tell. While there are a few good examples and verbiage that can be used again, it is ultimately outdated. Take it from a practicing HR professional; you cannot use the majority of these in your workplace. You may be able to use the ideas and reasoning behind the documents, but the verbiage will need updated.
Mark Marker.......2007-03-14
A SUPERB AID FOR MANAGEMENT. IT LEAVES NO ROOM FOR DOUBT IN THE EMPLOYEES MIND WHEN THE "LETTER" IS PRESENTED TO THE EMPLOYEE. MANY OF MY TEAMMATES WANT TO BORROW THE BOOK, BUT I SAY GO GET YOUR OWN. THEY PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE GIVEN IT BACK SO QUICKLY IF AT ALL.
Great help to new supervisor.......2005-07-27
The book really helped me document unproductive behavior and coach errant employees.
a solid step-by-step guide to progressive discipline.......2004-09-14
As a manager of a new, small organization, we had no real procedures to document and follow for disciplining under-performing employees. This books gave me a good outline of the steps to follow and some of the theory behind the steps. It also provides many sample write-ups for a variety of situations.
It is not by any means a "5-course dinner" on progressive discipline, but it will give you a good basic foundation from which to start--especially if are in immediate need for something to hold you over until you can invest the time and money in setting up a more in-depth process.
As another reviewer has written, best to consult an HR expert for the details, especially those particular gray areas you may encounter. Also, I find this a good companion to the performance appraisal book by Dick Grote entitled "The Performance Appraisal Question and Answer Book". In fact, I would consider both these books as a small business manager's "starter set" for HR basics.
Easy to use for templates and ideas.......2004-06-29
I know Paul Falcone personally. I have talked with him in the past at a career workshop and afterwards. He is a consumate Human Resources executive who understands the issues regarding the documentation of employee problems and assisting employees and managers to work better together.
If an HR or line Manager needs to document an employee problem, this book assists the practioner for samples and ideas of how to write up a report for the file, letters for the employee, etc. This can also be used as a guide for managers who need to document the actions of direct reports. As an HR practioner, I recommend you consult your HR department along with using this as a tool.

A Student's Book.......2003-03-05
This book is perfect for any student of writing, whether enrolled in a university or not. It guides the reader through every stage of the writing process: planning, drafting, researching, revising, and editing.
The unique features of this book are (1) helpful ESL boxes that offer important tips for international students, or for those that help international students, (2) Questions for analysis and useful assignments, both for individuals and groups, (3) a clear, exciting format that makes for easy, captivating reading, and (4) practical charts and helps for easy reference. The book can be read like a novel or used as a reference tool. The only problem is that, because of the size of the book, the softcover does not wear well. I would recommend buying hardcover.
I have always avoided writing; it never quite turns out the way I want. But this handbook, with its clear explanations and user-friendly tone, has inspired me to simply write, not letting burdens of worry slow me down. I have been encouraged to have fun exploring new ways of putting my fingers to the keyboard. This book is for anyone who is not a writer, or is, but wants to be one.

Customer Reviews:
Beautiful work.......2001-08-17
This book is perfect for adults to read and show to young children. Good idea to put the recipe in the back -- we learn by experiencing; and, the assistance of an adult in the learning process of a child for this age group is all the more worthwhile. The watercolor illustrations are beautiful and colorful too.
What a refreshing book!.......2000-06-06
I really enjoyed this story and the beautiful illustrations that accompany it. What a great way to teach children about a plant that is so often discarded by society. I especially like how it teaches us to see beauty in all the little things on this planet.
The additional facts and recipe on dandelions were an added bonus. This is a great book for all ages!
