Risk Management and Analysis, Measuring and Modelling Financial Risk (Wiley Series in Financial Engineering)
ASIN: 0471979597 |
Book Description
The author/editor has produced two stand-alone or companion volumes. Only one third of the original material remains.
New Markets and Products begins with two chapters on emerging markets. The book then goes on to cover markets and products of increasing complexity: standard equity and interest rate derivatives, exotic options, swap (and swaptions), volatility trading and finally credit derivatives.
The contributors are all acknowledged experts in their fields: Michael Howell, Mark Fox, Ian King, Chris Rogers, Andrew Street, Riccardo Rebonato, Edmond Levy, Bryan Thomas, Vincent Lacoste, Desmond Fitzgerald and Blythe Masters.
New Markets and Products will be an essential reference tool for risk managers, institutional investors, fund managers, bankers, corporate treasurers and financial consultants.
"In this volume Carol Alexander has gathered together ten articles that are concerned with important recent developments in financial markets. Two of the articles are concerned with emerging markets. They explore the reasons for their growth and the nature of the investment opportunities available. The remaining eight articles are concerned with derivatives. There are chapters on equity derivatives, interest rate derivatives, exotic options, volatility trading, and credit derivatives. The final chapter on credit derivatives is particularly timely. This market is in the process of transforming the way banks manage credit risk. I have seen no other discussion of the market as comprehensive and useful as that provided by Blythe Masters.
Market participants and students alike will find much useful and thought-provoking information in this volume."
- John Hull, August 1998

A little dated but a great reference.......2005-04-02
The articles presented in this book definitely provide a good foundation of concepts required for FRM and Financial Markets.
Excellent content, but misleading title........2001-10-11
This book is a continuation of volume 1 - being that it is purely focused on financial markets and financial products. I was looking for a book on managing risk surrounding the development of new products (i.e. goods) and services for the market place. These issues are VERY different than those surrounding financial products in a nearly efficient market. I'll keep the book for the excellent content, but beware - it's probably not what you might expect!
Great Collection of Papers.......1997-07-24
The chapters on Interest Rate Option Models (Riccardo Rebonato) and Calculating Risk Capital (Thomas Wilson) are great critical surveys on their respective topic

Book Description
Due to the accelerated global integration that the world has witnessed in recent years, international trade has grown exponentially. As recipients of direct investments from developed nations, emerging countries have benefited enormously from this process. Every sound investment decision demands the application of modern financial theory. However, the theories that are advanced are most often set in the context of developed countries, and do not capture the intricacies of operating in the developing world. Despite the importance of investment flows to developing countries today, it is surprising that so little has been done to adapt financial principles to the special realities of these countries. This book has been written with the objective of filling this void. Financial Decisions in Emerging Markets is the first corporate finance book to take into account the context of emerging markets and the problems they present, including the relative lack of market efficiency. Reviewing financial theory, it focuses on investment and financing decisions as they relate to investors in emerging markets. The objective is to juxtapose the assumptions of financial theory against the realities prevailing in emerging countries and to propose more relevant approaches for investment analysis in these nations. Providing readers with a solid background to evaluate investments in emerging countries, this book is ideal for graduate students taking courses in financial decisions in emerging markets, corporate finance in developing countries, and international corporate finance.

The unbearable irrelevance of CF in perpetuity.......2002-07-21
At the outset, it is important to mention that my special area of interest is cost of capital with finite cash flows (CF). And in my review, it is this point that I would like to address.
In chapter 10, compared to similar books, the author presents a good detailed exposition on the cost of capital. However, my big complaint is that the author assumes that the formulas on the cost of capital that are derived from CF in perpetuity simply carry over to finite CF.
In practice, we derive finite cash flows from financial statements and on grounds of simplicity, one may use the formulas from CF in perpetuity. However, it is not self-evident that the formulas from CF in perpetuity are relevant and appropriate to finite CFs. This may or may not be true, but the equivalence certainly needs to be demonstrated with some simple numerical examples.
Nice addition to existing literature.......2002-05-31
The book deals with the emerging markets' specific problems of investment valuation and financial decisioning. Elementary financial methodologies are modified to capture the different variabeles in emerging markets. It is an easy to read book but I would have liked it to be more in-depth than it is now. It gives, however, a nice structured view on emerging markets valuation theory.

Book Description
Although significant financial crises world-wide -- in Japan, Mexico, Thailand, Indonesia, Russia, and Brazil -- have affirmed that the free market system is imperfect, no successful alternative to free capital markets has ever been devised. Nevertheless, many theorists are proposing that industrial nations together create a new framework for regulation -- a new international financial architecture -- using measures such as target zones for foreign exchange rates, currency boards, and controls on speculative trading of securities.
David DeRosa presents an emphatically opposing view -- that less, not more regulation is vitally needed. DeRosa demonstrates that public policies have often been dead wrong in concept and application; that so-called controls generate indirect and unintended harmful consequences; and that aggressive intervention is no panacea, even in cases such as the collapse of Long Term Capital Management, the former high-flying hedge fund.
DeRosa presents a rousing argument for putting far greater trust in the markets themselves. He exposes the risks, market distortions, and huge, hidden costs that can result from governmental bailouts and proposed reforms. David DeRosa makes an important contribution to a debate whose outcome will determine the stability and prosperity achievable in an interconnected age.
Customer Reviews:
Free Capital Markets.......2002-01-09
Dr DeRosa's book was entertaining, easy to read and packed with anecdotes and information. As an investment pro, his book gave me a greater insight into the often arcane political manipulations that eventually sow the seeds for economic instability. He pulls no punches when he states that central banks and governments themselves set themselves up to be the eventual "victims" of their own bad policies and instead of doing something different, they blame the speculator.
I like his information "boxes" that help the reader with the technical details of the book. Although I have long been a fan of single currency idea's, DeRosa's book has given me reason to pause. Well referenced and well researched.
The reviews by Dr Hanke and Dr Friedman can't hurt either.
Accolades from Milton Friedman.......2001-08-15
"In Defense of Free Capital Markets is an impressive survey and analysis of the crises of the 1990s. Mr. DeRosa makes a strong case that official intervention has made matters worse, not better, and that in such instances it is far better to leave it to the invisible hand of the market than to the clumsy, visible hand of regulators."
--Milton Friedman Senior Research Fellow, Hoover Institution Nobel Economics Prize, 1976
Common Sense for Currency Buffs.......2001-04-17
Professor DeRosa offers up a generous helping of reality in evaluating the currency crises of the past dozen or so years. From the first world foibles of the Bank of Japan to the third world of currency pegs, the currency calamities of the late twentieth century are thoughtfully presented in a lean read.
While perhaps giving short shrift to the political constraints facing policy makers in times of crisis, Mr. DeRosa nevertheless does well describing the environments and pre-conditions which ultimately fostered our most recent international financial catastrophes.
In this, the age of fiat money, unsustainable currency policies are easy prey for the worlds biggest market. Anyone interested in a brief but informative history of recent currency debacles will truly enjoy this book.
Highly Recommended!.......2001-03-16
Yale University adjunct professor David F. DeRosa argues that markets are smarter than government ministries. Therefore, he contends, economic development should be left to the free market, since tighter regulations will only distort development. His detailed analysis of economic conditions focuses on factors leading to several crises, including the decline of the Mexican and Japanese economies in the 1990s and the Southeast Asian collapse of 1997. The subject is complicated and interesting, and the writing is often technical and sometimes complex. We at getAbstract call this book to the attention of scholars, executives and managers who have a serious interest in fiscal policy. And we do mean serious.
Free Capital Markets -- The Road to Prosperity.......2001-03-06
This work is illuminating and speaks to issues beyond the world of finance, like politics and ideaology. DeRosa lays out clear and consice arguments in defense of free floating exchange rates and against fixed exchange-rate regimes.
The author debunks the propaganda supporting fixed exchange-rate regimes with insightful analyses based on the facts of the various currency crises that occured during the 1990s. Particularly interesting is the fact that leaders around the world are either ignorant of or chose to ignore the last ten (let alone the last 100) years worth of economic history and persist in attempting to control and plan economies. This book should be required reading not only for finance professionals and central bankers, but anyone interested in how the decisions of people in appointed positions (like the head of a central bank or finance ministry)have far-reaching and often dire consequences.

Book Description
Accounting plays a crucial role in the economics of developing countries by providing information they need to implement their planning processes. The success of economic development is, in fact, tied to the way in which accounting systems, at both the the micro and macro levels, are developed and used. By linking the accounting and development processes together and showing how they complement and influence each other, Riahi-Belkaoui's book provides academics, researchers, and professionals in international finance and economic development with a unique source of information, analysis, and interpretation.

Intriguing thinking about agriculture and community.......2000-12-16
I've been thinking in an unstructured way about a number of these issues due to being a recovering member of a housing co-op, a new member of a CSA, and trying to start a group that gets raw milk from a (sort of) local biodynamic farm. And just thinking about farming.
As I see it, the set of issues include: (1) the various natures of CSAs, (2) the modern analogue to the slightly-more-than-subsistance family farm that recognizes that the nature of family has changed radically in the last 50 years for much of "the West", (3) the role(s?) and definition of sustainability as it relates to farming in a number of forms (providing some insight into the current debate about the commercialization of the "organic movement"), (4) how to farm damn well!
Trauger Groh is a very thoughtful and insightful person (and shockingly European to this American. I mean this approvingly. He's an outgrowth of the highly-educated European farmer group that was associated with Steiner) and a farmer that seems to have spent most of his adult life trying to make this stuff work. And he has succeeded. And part of this appears to be a sort of memoir of that success. And another part is his responses to talking about this with a variety of people (note especially the new article about the role of farm animals, much of which is explicitly a response to vegetarian and vegan oriented organic-farmers)
Steven McFadden is a journalist who documents a variety of CSAs and historical movements that have impacted the CSA movement.
Both offer interesting things. This book would be worth buying just for the stuff by Groh
A future where we all become part of the farm organism........1999-01-07
The concepts of community supported agriculture (CSA) grab at the imagination: reconnect with the land and farmer, know exactly where your food is coming from, work toward self-sufficiency. Such a utopian vision clashes gloriously with the disconnected, "cocooning" lifestyle of many people. This textbook for the CSA movement, first published in 1990 and "revisited" in this volume published in 1997, lays out the philosophies and actions that brought CSAs into our awareness today. You might know a CSA farmer, and perhaps even are a CSA member. But unless you're the farmer herself, or on an advisory board for a CSA, you probably have not considered many of the philosophical questions. In half-a-dozen essays comprising a third of the book, questions are explored such as: Should farmers or the CSA own the land? How should farmers' retirement be arranged? Should animals be part of the farm, and should meat be part of the CSA shares? Three basic rules of such holistic farming are offered: 1. Do not work too many hours (leave time for observation, reflection and meditation). 2. Buy for the farm as little as possible from the outside world. 3. Take all the initiative for your actions on the farm out of the realm of the spirit, not out of the realm of money. The book talks of creating an "associative economy" and a "parallel polis" that look at society differently. One premise is that the farm should be supported by the entire community, and the risk shared equally by all consumers. Another is that farmland should not be a market commodity. A third of the book consists of essays by CSA farmers on their own operations; many were written seven years ago and updated last year, so the trials of time can be seen. The final third of the volume contains blueprints for operating a CSA: how to get started, and how to buy and hold land. Samples from farms show budgets, marketing pieces and typical share content. From philosophy to examples, Farms of Tomorrow Revisited shows us where the CSA concept could take society, and the movement's limitations, especially in solving current agriculture issues.
