This book studies the stochastic behaviour of interest rates and commodity prices, extending the existing literature by allowing the underlying state variable to capture any possible seasonal or cyclical behaviour. In the first chapter, we propose a new model for the term structure of interest rates assuming that the instantaneous spot rate converges to a cyclical long-term level characterized by a Fourier series. Under this framework, we derive analytical expressions for the valuation of bonds and several interest rate derivative assets. The second chapter introduces a new square-root model for the yield curve where both the mean reversion level and the volatility are described by a harmonic oscillator. This model specification incorporates a good deal of flexibility preserving the analytical tractability. In the final chapter, we present a model for the logarithm of the commodity spot price with a reversion to a time dependent long-run level described by a Fourier series, obtaining closed-form expressions for a wide range of derivatives and study the fitting performance to market data.

His journey will provide courage and inspiration for every lean practitioner today.

A pesar del elevado grado de globalización de la economía, el desarrollo acelerado de nuevas tecnologías y las amplias redes logísticas existentes a nivel internacional en la actualidad, la localizacion parece posicionarse como un factor clave para la competitividad de las empresas. En este sentido, la especializacion territorial genera un ambiente cooperativo-competitivo particular que, por una parte, presiona a las empresas a realizar esfuerzos continuos para incrementar su competitividad, y por otra las impulsa a cooperar en la consecucion de objetivos compartidos. El presente libro profundiza en el estudio de los efectos derivados de la aglomeracion industrial sobre las capacidades empresariales y el desempeño innovador de las empresas energeticas localizadas en España. Si bien se trata de un solido y riguroso trabajo academico, se ha redactado de forma clara y sencilla para facilitar su lectura y comprension. De este modo, se ofrece a las lectoras y los lectores la oportunidad de acceder al contenido derivado del amplio analisis teorico y empirico realizado sobre estas variables en el ambito del sector energetico, independientemente de sus conocimientos previos en la materia.Los autores pertenecen al Departamento de Organizacion de Empresas de la Universidad de Alicante y son miembros del Grupo de investigacion Direccion Estrategica, Conocimiento e Innovacion en una Economia Global (DECI-GLOBAL). Sus investigaciones se encuadran fundamentalmente en el estudio de la especializacion regional y sus efectos sobre las capacidades empresariales y la competitividad.

An intimate account of the eighteenth-century Bank of England that shows how a private institution became a great engine of stateThe eighteenth-century Bank of England was an institution that operated for the benefit of its shareholdersand yet came to be considered, as Adam Smith described it, a great engine of state. In Virtuous Bankers, Anne Murphy explores how this private organization became the guardian of the public credit upon which Britains economic and geopolitical power was based. Drawing on the voluminous and detailed minute books of a Committee of Inspection that examined the Banks workings in 178384, Murphy frames her account as a day in the life of the Bank of England, looking at a days worth of banking activities that ranged from the issuing of bank notes to the management of public funds.Murphy discusses the bank as a domestic environment, a working environment, and a space to be protected against theft, fire, and revolt. She offers new insights into the skills of the Banks clerks and the ways in which their work was organized, and she positions the Bank as part of the physical and cultural landscape of the City: an aggressive property developer, a vulnerable institution seeking to secure its buildings, and an enterprise necessarily accessible to the public. She considers the aesthetics of its headquartersone of Londons finest buildingsand the messages of creditworthiness embedded in that architecture and in the very visible actions of the Banks clerks. Murphys uniquely intimate account shows how the eighteenth-century Bank was able to deliver a set of services that were essential to the state and commanded the confidence of the public.

El capital intelectual es un constructo teórico, complejo y multidimensional que puede ser visto tanto desde el nivel macro, como lo exige el proceso de globalización que transita la humanidad, como a nivel micro, desde la empresa como unidad de analisis. Considerado como una mas de las tantas dimensiones de la competitividad y dado su caracter intangible, suele ser desestimado. No obstante, los recientes eventos mundiales pusieron en evidencia la enorme importancia que tiene la gestion del conocimiento y el uso de las Tecnologias de la Informacion y la Comunicacion.

This reprint presents Modern Money Mechanics as it was originally published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in editions ranging from 1961-1992. The last revision, made in 1992, was most recently published in 1994. As a description of our money system since the time of the creation of the Federal Reserve, hard money advocates, political libertarians and others have found the content of this book damning and used it as part of a general critique of American fiat currency. This booklet has been cited by Gary North, Lew Rockwell, the U.S. and U.K. Libertarian parties and many others. It even features in YouTube videos. As a simplified model for fractional reserve banking, Modern Money Mechanics remains an excellent beginning, one that can be read in a single sitting and one that has the advantage of showing us the Federal Reserve presenting itself and its operations to a broad, mass readership.

This book will help you prepare the EPSO CAST Administration / Human Resources tests of any function group, to be selected as a contract agent by the EU Institutions. It includes a guide for the whole selection procedure, support to your self-motivation, tips to improve your application and being shortlisted, strategies to increase your score in the tests, advice for your interview, and the materials that you should study to pass the competency test. All this from the personal and professional experience of a successful candidate in the EPSO CAST Admin/HR FG IV and the reasoning tests of the highly competitive EPSO Administrators (AD) cycle, being an official at the public administration in Spain and having held several positions as a Head of Unit from 2009 to the present, mostly in the areas of human resources, finance, programme management, law enforcement and general administration. He has also worked as a national expert at the European Commission, provided training to civil servants, coached many candidates for open competitions and several EPSO CAST profiles, and written books for this purpose. ============= Author's note: I would like to clarify to all my potential readers, after the review of one of our clients, that the table of contents of my books is available for free in Amazon (just going to the eBook version and having a look at the first pages of the book). As you can check there, first part of every book is very similar for all the profiles (i.e., my insights and tips on the CAST procedure), but second part contains fresh materials for the competency test in each profile. The book is structured as a clear summary, easy to read (by using 1.5 spacing), about what to study for this profile. As I also explained in the book, I have included the EPSO samples to analyse how to face a real question and to cover the possibility of finding repeated EPSO questions in your exam. Most of my readers told me that they passed their CAST tests in different profiles (HR, PM, Finance, Law, Political affairs, Communication) just by reading my respective book in the field, so I think you will find it useful too.
