• ISBN-13: 978-0470997444

Financial Modelling in Practice: A Concise Guide for Intermediate and Advanced Level is a practical, comprehensive and in-depth guide to financial modelling designed to cover the modelling issues that are relevant to facilitate the construction of robust and readily understandable models.

Based on the authors extensive experience of building models in business and finance, and of training others how to do so this book starts with a review of Excel functions that are generally most relevant for building intermediate and advanced level models (such as Lookup functions, database and statistical functions and so on).  It then discusses the principles involved in designing, structuring and building relevant, accurate and readily understandable models (including the use of sensitivity analysis techniques) before covering key application areas, such as the modelling of financial statements, of cash flow valuation, risk analysis, options and real options. Finally, the topic of financial modelling using VBA is treated. Practical examples are used throughout and model examples are included in the attached CD-ROM.

Aimed at intermediate and advanced level modellers in Excel who wish to extend and consolidate their knowledge, this book is focused, practical, and application-driven, facilitating knowledge to build or audit a much wider range of financial models.

Macroeconomics

• Hardcover: 548 pages
• Publisher: Worth Publishers; 5th edition (June 15, 2002)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 0716752379
• ISBN-13: 978-0716752370

This is a clearly written and nicely organized upper-division macroeconomics textbook. Mankiw uses plain English and simple math to model the macroeconomy in the short-run (the IS/LM model), the long-run (the AS/AD model), and the very long run (the Solow growth model). He also devotes a lot of space to the Mundell-Fleming model of international trade and finance. One of the best features is the frequent use of short case studies that apply economic theory to "real world" problems such as the Great Depression or the Japanese slump of the 1990s. Mankiw's views are mainstream -- he doesn't even hint at the existence of alternatives such as Austrian economics or neo-Marxism -- but he is non-dogmatic about policy and quite candid about the limits of what economists really know about the economy. His book is a small masterpiece of clear economic writing for undergraduates.

Macroeconomics in Emerging Markets

•  Author: Peter J. Montiel
• ISBN: 9780521780605
• Publication date: April 2003
• Pages: 456

This book is a rigorous, yet nonmathematical analysis of key macroeconomic issues faced by emerging economies. The first part develops an analytical framework that can be used as a workhorse model to study short-run macroeconomic issues of stabilization and adjustment in such economies, comparable to the IS-LM framework widely used in intermediate-level macroeconomics textbooks for industrial countries. The rest of the book considers fiscal issues, financial sector issues, and issues concerning exchange rate regimes and policies. In the fiscal area, the focus is on the formulation of intertemporal policies, i.e. fiscal sustainability, seigniorage, and the roles of central bank independence and privatization of public enterprises in achieving fiscal credibility. The analysis of the financial sector examines its role in promoting welfare and growth. Finally, the book explores recent developments in the theory of appropriate exchange rate regimes and management, and provides an overview of currency crises.

• ASIN: B008OWRPMW
• ISBN-10: 0521811104

It provides a thought-provoking analysis that appeals to the reflective professional as well as academic researchers.

Despite the exponential growth of computing and communications technology, the inertia of old business technology management practices still drives most investment decisions in this area. Companies spend too much money on new technology, while their business models and processes underutilize the resources they already have.

Review

Rarely, a book of immense breadth comes along so little understood by its publisher that it is launched as a technical manual for industry insiders when, in fact, it is a seminal work in many fields. Marion A. Brach, a physician with a background in medical research and a deep understanding of mathematics, migrated to finance. She took an interest in real options, which is the field of valuation of choices in the real as opposed to the financial world and in due course produced her book.

Dr. Brach's interest is, at its core, whether X corporation should buy Y corporation or invest a known amount of money in a project. This sort of thing has usually been handled by discounted cash flow analysis. If Y can add a known amount of money to X's business, then the purchase price of Y must not exceed the discounted cash flow it brings in.

What's wrong with discounted cash flow is that it ignores risk, as Dr. Brach points out.That's a huge gap and one which real options can fix.

The corrective value of real options pricing is obvious. The downside of real options is that it takes a good deal of math, usually partial differential equations, to do it. Financial calculators are alr eady available at modest prices to handle the Black-Scholes model of options pricing, but real options that involve corporate planning require a deeper sense of what the math is about. As Dr. Brach points out, a model for a deterministic solution, such as how much to pay for a right to buy a what contract that will expire at a known price, zero, at a given time, is different from the situation of a process that has a stochastic or even randomized outcome.

Dr. Brach moves her story and analysis from biblical accounts of grain trading and a developing and parallel options market and Joseph's choice of whether to save grain to guard against seven years of famine. Thales, the Greek philosopher, bought call options on olive presses well before a harvest and was able to raise press rents at the small cost of the options he bought.

The story of the development of real options moves from Greek olives to Dutch tulips and then to theories of thermodynamics. Dr. Brach mentions the roots of real options analysis in Russian and French investigations of probability theory, the use of Brownian motion as a foundation for stochastic theories of where prices will be in successive periods, and assumptions about market clearing and interest rates.

There are investigations of the value of learning and the reduction of noise, the applications of game theory to outcome analysis, and a consideration of where real options is going and where its usefulness may end. The strength of the book is its sweeping view of the field of the valuation of events, the clarity of Dr. Brach's writing, a fine19 page bibliography, and her ability to tell her story without delving into mathematical physics - the source of much of the analytic power of real options analysis.

For the investor, this value of this book about the analysis of non-financial options is what it says about the limitations of conventional investigations of future financial events. For thoughtful folks not concerned about figuring out the price of a financial options, Dr. Brach provides a glimpse of analysis as it will likely be in a decade or two. This reviewer cannot recommend this book too highly. For a reader with a little calculus and some statistics, it's not hard reading. For anyone, it is an adventure with a very bright mind-- Toronto Globe & Mail

Review

"'Financial markets have an aura of disturbing instability. In this history of the thought of earlier economists who have studied the processes of finance, Jan Toporowski takes us on a fascinating journey to explore how they saw the impact of finance on the real economy. Not one for formal models, nor for rational expectations, Jan values historical experience and the insights and experience of earlier great thinkers.' - Charles A.E. Goodhart, CBE, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK 'Jan Toporowski's Theories of Financial Disturbance is a tour de force. With his substantial knowledge of financial markets, his deep conceptual understanding of relevant concepts and his exhaustive reading of the essential literature, he is ideally placed to tell an absorbing narrative of, as he writes, critical theories of finance from Adam Smith to the present days - and he has. In a world in which finance and industrial and commercial capital are so out of kilter with one another, Toporowski's lucid wisdom is required reading.' - G.C. Harcourt, Jesus College, Cambridge, UK" --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Amazon.com Review

Among the library of investment books promising no-fail strategies for riches, Benjamin Graham's classic, The Intelligent Investor, offers no guarantees or gimmicks but overflows with the wisdom at the core of all good portfolio management.

The hallmark of Graham's philosophy is not profit maximization but loss minimization. In this respect, The Intelligent Investor is a book for true investors, not speculators or day traders. He provides, "in a form suitable for the laymen, guidance in adoption and execution of an investment policy" (1). This policy is inherently for the longer term and requires a commitment of effort. Where the speculator follows market trends, the investor uses discipline, research, and his analytical ability to make unpopular but sound investments in bargains relative to current asset value. Graham coaches the investor to develop a rational plan for buying stocks and bonds, and he argues that this plan must be a bulwark against emotional behavior that will always be tempting during abrupt bull and bear markets.

Since it was first published in 1949, Graham's investment guide has sold over a million copies and has been praised by such luminaries as Warren E. Buffet as "the best book on investing ever written." These accolades are well deserved. In its new form--with commentary on each chapter and extensive footnotes prepared by senior Money editor, Jason Zweig--the classic is now updated in light of changes in investment vehicles and market activities since 1972. What remains is a better book. Graham's sage advice, analytical guides, and cautionary tales are still valid for the contemporary investor, and Zweig's commentaries demonstrate the relevance of Graham's principles in light of 1990s and early twenty-first century market trends. --Patrick O'Kelley
