"Adam Smith continues to dazzle and sparkle! With the passage of time, Supermoney has, if anything, added to its power to inspire, arouse, provoke, motivate, inform, illuminate, entertain, and guide a whole new generation of readers, while marvelously reprising the global money show for earlier fans." - David M. Darst, author of The Art of Asset Allocation Managing Director and Chief Investment Strategist, Morgan Stanley Individual Investor Group "Nobody has written about the craft of money management with more insight, humor, and understanding than Adam Smith. Over the years, he has consistently separated wisdom from whimsy, brilliance from bluster, and character from chicanery." - Byron R. Wien, coauthor of Soros on Soros Chief Investment Strategist, Pequot Capital Management Supermoney may be even more relevant today than when it was first published nearly twenty-five years ago. Written in the bright and funny style that became Adam Smith's trademark, this book gives a view inside institutions, professionals, and the nature of markets that has rarely been shown before or since. "Adam Smith" was the first to introduce an obscure fund manager in Omaha, Nebraska, named Warren Buffett. In this new edition, Smith provides a fresh perspective in an updated Preface that contextualizes the applicability of the markets of the 1960s and 1970s to today's markets. Things change, but sometimes the more they change, the more they stay the same.

El principal objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar los efectos que la estructura de propiedad bancaria tiene sobre la toma de riesgos, a nivel microeconómico y sobre el riesgo sistemico, a nivel macroeconomico. Para ello se desarrolla un modelo de competencia oligopolistica y se analizan las propiedades del equilibrio de mercado en terminos de beneficios, cuota de mercado y micro y macro estabilidad financiara cuando un banco comercial, maximizador de beneficios, compite contra un banco no orientado hacia los beneficios (stakeholder bank). Los resultados teoricos son validados empiricamente usando datos bancarios de 72 paises durante el periodo 1997-2007. Concretamente se muestra que a) los stakeholder banks son menos arriesgados que los bancos comerciales, b) cualquier banco es mas arriesgado cuando compite contra un stakeholder bank en lugar de contra un banco comercial, c) a nivel sistemico la presencia de stakeholder banks aumenta la estabilidad financiera, d) el efecto de la regulacion bancaria y de la competencia en la toma de riesgos depende de la estructura de propiedad del banco, e) la concentracion accionarial incrementa el riesgo bancario, f) el diseño de los incentivos gerenciales tiene un efecto muy significativo sobre la toma de riesgos bancarios.

Iván Vindas acostumbraba a orar por las finanzas de las personas en su congregación, hasta que entendió que Dios le instruyó a enseñar a su gente sobre el manejo de las finanzas, además de orar. Pudo ver como sus feligreses se superaron economicamente y decidio ofrecer las lecciones al publico en general. Su libro, Sueños Financieros, no solo presenta la importancia de unas finanzas estables para todo aquello que las personas sueñan, sino es una guia para utilizar los recursos que recibimos y tenemos de la manera mas sabia, para lograr unas finanzas saludables. Este libro es una llamada a la consciencia financiera en un lenguaje facil de entender, inspirado en enseñanzas biblicas, con el proposito de provocar cambios en las finanzas personales de quien lo lea.

From the former Treasury Secretary, the definitive account of the unprecedented effort to save the US economy from collapse in the wake of the worst global financial crisis since the Great Depression. On 26 January, 2009, during the depths of the financial crisis and having just completed five years as President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Timothy F Geithner was sworn in by President Barack Obama as the seventy-fifth Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. Now, in a strikingly candid, riveting, and historically illuminating memoir, Geithner takes readers behind the scenes during the darkest moments of the crisis. Swift, decisive, and creative action was required to avert a second Great Depression, but policy makers faced a fog of uncertainty, with no good options and the risk of catastrophic outcomes. Stress Test: Reflections on Financial Crises takes us inside the room, explaining in accessible and forthright terms the hard choices and politically unpalatable decisions that Geithner and others in the Obama administration made during the crisis and recovery. He discusses the most controversial moments of his tenures at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and at the Treasury, including the harrowing weekend Lehman Brothers went bankrupt; the searing crucible of the AIG bonuses controversy; the development of his widely criticized but ultimately successful plan in early 2009 to end the crisis; the bracing fight for the most sweeping financial reforms in seventy years; and the lingering aftershocks of the crisis, including high unemployment, the fiscal battles, and Europe's repeated flirtations with the economic abyss. Geithner also shares his personal and professional recollections of key players such as President Obama, Ben Bernanke, Hank Paulson, and Larry Summers, among others, and examines the tensions between politics and policy that have come to dominate discussions of the U.S. economy. An insider's account of how the Obama administration saved the economy but lost the American people, Stress Test reveals a side of Timothy Geithner that only few have seen.

Stochastic Simulation and Applications in Finance with MATLABPrograms explains the fundamentals of Monte Carlo simulationtechniques, their use in the numerical resolution of stochasticdifferential equations and their current applications in finance.Building on an integrated approach, it provides a pedagogicaltreatment of the need-to-know materials in risk management andfinancial engineering.The book takes readers through the basic concepts, covering themost recent research and problems in the area, including: thequadratic re-sampling technique, the Least Squared Method, thedynamic programming and Stratified State Aggregation technique toprice American options, the extreme value simulation technique toprice exotic options and the retrieval of volatility method toestimate Greeks. The authors also present modern termstructure of interest rate models and pricing swaptions with theBGM market model, and give a full explanation of corporatesecurities valuation and credit risk based on the structuralapproach of Merton. Case studies on financial guarantees illustratehow to implement the simulation techniques in pricing andhedging.

Masaaki Kijima, Kijima KijimaIn an accessible treatment that strikes a balance between the abstract and the practical, this book presents the theory of discrete stochastic processes and their applications in finance. By presenting important results in discrete processes and showing how to transfer those results to their continuous counterparts, it imparts an intuitive and practical understanding of the subject. Applications to the pricing of derivative securities, corporate bonds, and credit derivatives are thoroughly explored. This book is ideal both as a text for a graduate-level class and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in financial engineering, operations research, and mathematical and statistical finance.

This book evolved from the first ten years of the Carnegie Mellon professional Master''s program in Computational Finance. The contents of the book have been used successfully with students whose mathematics background consists of calculus and calculus-based probability. The text gives both precise statements of results, plausibility arguments, and even some proofs. But more importantly, intuitive explanations, developed and refined through classroom experience with this material, are provided throughout the book. Volume I introduces the fundamental concepts in a discrete-time setting and Volume II builds on this foundation to develop stochastic calculus, martingales, risk-neutral pricing, exotic options, and term structure models, all in continuous time. The book includes a self-contained treatment of the probability theory needed for stochastic calculus, including Brownian motion and its properties. Advanced topics include foreign exchange models, forward measures, and jump-diffusion processes. Classroom-tested exercises conclude every chapter; some of these extend the theory while others are drawn from practical problems in quantitative finance. Instructor''s manual available.
