methods and principles for addressing challenges
KEY FEATURES
Focuses on ways information management can fuel financial institutions processes, including
regulatory reporting, trade lifecycle management, and customer interaction
Covers recent regulatory and technological developments and their implications for optimal
financial information management
Views data management from a supply chain perspective and discusses challenges and
opportunities, including big data technologies and regulatory scrutiny
DESCRIPTION
A Primer in Financial Data Managementdescribes concepts and methods, considering financial
data management, not as a technological challenge, but as a key asset that underpins effective
business management.
This broad survey of data management in financial services discusses the data and process needs
from the business user, client and regulatory perspectives. Its non-technical descriptions and
insights can be used by readers with diverse interests across the financial services industry.
The need has never been greater for skills, systems, and methodologies to manage information in
financial markets. The volume of data, the diversity of sources, and the power of the tools to
process it massively increased. Demands from business, customers, and regulators on
transparency, safety, and above all, timely availability of high quality information for decision-
making and reporting have grown in tandem, making this book a must read for those working in, or
interested in, financial management.

Explores the principles and practices at the core of the regulatory and rate-setting
processes
KEY FEATURES
Presents a unified treatment of the regulatory principles and practices used to assess the
required return on capital
Addresses current practices before exploring the ways methods play out in practice, including
irregularities, shortcomings, and concerns for the future
Focuses on developed economies instead of providing a comprehensive global reviews
DESCRIPTION
Risk and Return for Regulated Industriesprovides a much-needed, comprehensive review of how
cost of capital risk arises and can be measured, how the special risks regulated industries face
affect fair return, and the challenges that regulated industries are likely to face in the future.
Rather than following the trend of broad industry introductions or textbook style reviews of utility
finance, it covers the topics of most interest to regulators, regulated companies, regulatory
lawyers, and rate-of-return analysts in all countries. Accordingly, the book also includes case
studies about various countries and discussions of the lessons international regulatory procedures
can offer.

Through practical applications of stress testing, this informative book covers risk
integration and the influence of shocks on both assets and liabilities
"Stress Testing and Risk Integration in Banksis a book that both finance academics and risk
management experts have long sought. It bridges a substantial gap between risk theory and
banking practice by paving the way for sound quantitative approaches in the area." --Niklas F
Wagner, University of Passau
"This book is highly practical and rigorous in its clear and refreshing coverage of current risk issues
faced by global banks. Combining Matlab/R code, relevant exercises and business cases, it is
comprehensive in scope and operationally highly relevant." --Gary van Vuuren, Aviva Investors,
London and North West University, South Africa
"Stress Testing and Risk Integration in Banksreveals the important connections between risk
management and stress testing in the banking industry. These days, in which the industry is in the
verge of its deepest change in decades, this book provides a much-needed framework to apply
stress testing in practical terms." --Juan Ignacio Pea, Universidad Carlos III
KEY FEATURES
Provides a rigorous statistical framework for modeling stress test in line with U.S. Federal
Reserve FRB CCAR (Comprehensive Capital Analysis Review), U.K. PRA (Prudential Regulatory
Authority), EBA (European Baning Authorithy) and comply with Basel Accord requirements
Follows an integrated bottom-up approach central in the most advanced risk modellingpractice
Provides numerous sample codes in Matlab and R
DESCRIPTION
Stress Testing and Risk Integration in Banksprovides a comprehensive view of the risk
management activity by means of the stress testing process. An introduction to multivariate time
series modeling paves the way to scenario analysis in order to assess a bank resilience against
adverse macroeconomic conditions. Assets and liabilities are jointly studied to highlight the key
issues that a risk manager needs to face. A multi-national bank prototype is used all over the book
for diving into market, credit, and operational stress testing.
Interest rate, liquidity and other major risks are also studied together with the former to outline
how to implement a fully integrated risk management toolkit. Examples, business cases, and
exercises worked in Matlab and R facilitate readers to develop their own models and
methodologies.

This Ph.D. level textbook provides a deep mathematical treatment of foundational
material in microeconomic theory; covering producer choice, consumer choice, and
partial equilibrium among producers and consumers.
KEY FEATURES
Includes comprehensive, focused and unified coverage of the mathematics required for the
core theories of producer and consumer choice, and partial equilibrium
Presents a generalized envelope theorem as a key source of refutable hypotheses
Delineates the role of active versus inactive constraints in generating refutable hypotheses
Discusses convex functions in economic optimization environments
Presents the full formal details of core producer and consumer and producer theory in a
unified and systematic manner
Emphasizes the refutable hypotheses resulting from behavioral postulates and the
completeness (duality) of those hypotheses for the postulated behavior within
microeconomics Includes end-of-chapter exercises, full index, and an instructors solutions manual
Includes a concordance that matches its chapters with those of major textbooks
DESCRIPTION
Producers, Consumers, and Partial Equilibriumprovides a systematic and accessible presentation of
the full formal details in the core theories of producer and consumer choice under conditions of
price taking; and covers the standard theories of competitive, monopoly, and oligopoly partial
equilibrium among these economic actors. The book pulls together foundational content from
many classic sources and organizes it in a self-contained format that rigidly adheres to optimization
as the central behavioral postulate and analytical tool for economic theory.
The book maintains a sharp focus on the properties of outcomes from optimizing behavior in
varying environments. These properties are the refutable hypotheses from each optimization
behavioral postulate, and they form the core content of this positive economic theory. In so doing,
the book presents and documents the underlying formal structure of the theory with a higher
degree of integration and completeness than is typical of Ph.D. textbooks in microeconomics.

"This book provides much needed knowledge in current pharmacy practice. Furthermore, it
provides up-to-date information and evaluation of innovative pharmacy services in different
countries." --Minji Sohn, Ferris State University
KEY FEATURES
Delivers a practical guide for conducting economic evaluations of hospital and community
pharmacy services
Documents the literature around health economic evaluation and innovative pharmacy
services
Guides the development of a standardized health economic evaluation tool to evaluate these

DESCRIPTION
Economic Evaluation of Pharmacy Servicesprovides the latest on the trend to a more product-
centered and service-centered practice, eschewing traditional economic evaluation techniques
that focus on product-to-product comparisons in favor of evaluating processes that measure costs
and health outcomes.
Complete with examples focusing on best practices, including various study designs, types of
pharmacy services, and types of outcomes being evaluated, the book emphasizes case studies and
examples that help readers understand economic evaluation techniques. Many of these techniques
are transferable across countries, especially where there are advanced and stable health systems
in place. With the help of this practical guide, readers will gain a thorough understanding of the
application of economic evaluation of pharmacy services.

This thought-provoking resource provides an up-to-date resource on how domestically
based banks in emerging economies can provide financial services for all economic
sectors
"All readers will treasure this book because it offers a comprehensive, yet focused overview of risk
management concepts and key challenges facing modern banks operating in the developing world.
A very useful resource for practitioners, academics, and students alike." -- Claudia
Girardone, University of Essex
"The book meets the most recent trends in the business practices and in the literature by offering
the holistic approach to risk management. It gives the reader an exceptional opportunity to learn
about the novel risks that managers in emerging markets have to face in the revolution of
banking." -- ?ukasz Koz?owski, Kozminski University
"Banks in emerging markets have to operate in a different cultural, regulatory and legalenvironment than that of the developed economies. Risk management techniques from the
developed economies do not readily translate over. This book bridges that gap and is a must for all
scholars and bankers in emerging markets." --Kent Matthews, Cardiff University
KEY FEATURES
Contains fifty cases that reinforce risk management best practices
Provides a consistent chapter format that includes abstract, keywords, learning focus, and
outcomes
Summaries, questions, and glossaries conclude each chapter
DESCRIPTION
Bank Risk Management in Developing Economies: Addressing the Unique Challenges of Domestic
Banksprovides an up-to-date resource on how domestically-based banks in emerging economies
can provide financial services for all economic sectors while also contributing to national economic
development policies.
Because these types of bank are often exposed to risky sectors, they are usually set apart fromforeign subsidiaries, and thus need risk models that foreign-based banks do not address. This book
is the first to identify these needs, proposing solutions through the use of case studies and analyses
that illustrate how developing economic banking crises are often rooted in managing composite
risks. The book represents a departure from classical literature that focuses on assets, liabilities,
and balance sheet management, by which developing economy banks, like their counterparts
elsewhere, have not fared well.

This comprehensive overview presents decision analysis and simulation strategies,
providing students with a definitive understanding of probability and statistics
"This book provides a novel, intuitive approach to teaching uncertainty and simulation modeling
that should appeal to a wide variety of management science, analytics, and statistics professors." -
-Wayne L. Winston, University of Indiana
"Business analytics are and will remain essential in every industry sector. To understand basic
concepts and solve complex problems are skills necessary for any economist and engineer, among
others. Introduction to Business Analytics using Simulationis the perfect textbook for learning
these skills." --Fausto Pedro Garcia Marquez, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha.
KEY FEATURES
Teaches managers how they can use business analytics to formulate and solve business
problems to enhance managerial decision-making Explains the processes needed to develop, report, and analyze business data
Describes how to use and apply business analytics software
DESCRIPTION
Introduction to Business Analytics Using Simulationemploys an innovative strategy to teach
business analytics. It uses simulation modeling and analysis as mechanisms to introduce and link
predictive and prescriptive modeling. Because managers can't fully assess what will happen in the
future, but must still make decisions, the book treats uncertainty as an essential element in
decision-making.
Its use of simulation gives readers a superior way of analyzing past data, understanding an
uncertain future, and optimizing results to select the best decision. With its focus on the
uncertainty and variability of business, this comprehensive book provides a better foundation for
business analytics than standard introductory business analytics books. Students will gain a better
understanding of fundamental statistical concepts that are essential to marketing research, Six-
Sigma, financial analysis, and business analytics.

Frontier markets have now become a popular investment class among institutional investors
internationally, with major financial services providers establishing index-benchmarks for this
market-category. The anticipation for frontier markets is optimistic uncertainty, and many people
believe that, given their growth rates, these markets will be economic success stories. Irrespective
of their degrees of success, The Handbook of Frontier Markets can help ensure that the increasing
international investment diverted to them will aid in their greater integration within the global

Through empirical data links, this book presents a global view of economic imbalances,
financial crises, and central bank policies
"This book gives an excellent assessment of the emergence, causes and consequences of balance-
of-payments imbalances in a large number of countries. It is a very timely analysis in view of the
large imbalances arising from the financial crises of recent years, giving useful advice for the
construction of a new and more stable financial world order." --Hans-Werner Sinn, University of
Munich and the Ifo Institute for Economic Research
"This book provides an insightful, timely, and fresh perspective on the global implications of the
large hoarding of international reserves by emerging markets in recent decades, offering an
essential analysis of global economics challenges in the twenty first century. Dr. Andreas Steiners
empirical analysis shows that international reserve accumulation lowers both the current account
and the public budget balances of the reserve-currencys supplier, possibly destabilizing the global
system down the road." --Joshua Aizenman, University of Southern California
"Global Imbalances, Financial Crises, and Central Bank Policiesis a very well-conceived manuscript
on the nexus of reserve hoarding and capital flow, and the implications for the global economy.
The notion of national benefits against global negative externalities of reserve accumulation will
interest both academics and policymakers." --Yin-Wong Cheung, City University of Hong Kong
KEY FEATURES
Presents a systematic account of the relationship between the build-up of reserves and centralbank policies
Emphasizes a global view of currency reserves, which is usually ignored in analyses of their
effect
Includes datasets as well as all illustrations and figures in online ancillary materials
DESCRIPTION
Global Imbalances, Financial Crises, and Central Bank Policiesassesses the relationships between
global imbalances, financial crises, and central bank policies, with a specific focus on their reserves.
The book contains a strictly international perspective with an analysis based on empirical researchthat enables the reader to develop an analytical model that emphasizes interactions among
individual central banks. With this innovative approach, the book develops a new method for
defining an optimal demand for reserves. In addition, the book describes implications for financial
reforms that might ultimately be more important than its empirical findings.

This thought provoking book explains Brazils development level in light of modern
theories regarding economic growth and international economics, focusing on both the
proximate and fundamental causes of Brazils slow development
"The poor performance of the Brazilian economy since the 1980s has been object of an ever long
debate about its causes. This book provides important insights into this debate, bringing a
provocative interpretation about the historical development of the Brazilian economy that explains
the roots of its backwardness. Based on modern theories about economic growth, the author
presents new statistical indicators that support his claims. This is a stimulating contribution to the
academic research on the Brazilian economy." --Carmem Feij, Fluminense Federal University
KEY FEATURES
Argues that low human capital accumulation is the major source of Brazilian relative
underdevelopment
Considers class conflict as the major determinant of Brazils historically low human capitalaccumulation and underdevelopment
Presents new statistical information about Brazilian early development
DESCRIPTION
Roots of Brazils Relative Economic Backwardnessexplains Brazils development level in light of
modern theories regarding economic growth and international economics. It focuses on both the
proximate and fundamental causes of Brazils slow development, turning currently dominant
hypotheses upside down.
To support its arguments, the book presents extensive statistical analysis of Brazilian long-term
development, with some new series on per capita GDP, population ethnical composition, and
human capital stock, among others. It is an important resource in the ongoing debate on the
causes of Latin American underdeveloped economies.

This instructive book provides an overview of investment funds, focusing on both asset
transactions made by investment managers for the portfolio and transactions in the
shares or units of the fund itself, thereby giving readers helpful insight about the
essential elements of investment fund management
"Fund Custodyadmirably fills a gap in the material available for practitioners and students of
investment management. A lively and clearly written overview of the industry with a great deal of
day-to-day practical detail. Ideal supplementary reading to help students in their transition from
academic study to the world of work." --Alastair Milne, Loughborough University, UK
"David Loader provides profound insights into investment funds management. He describes in
detail the different structures and institutions and elaborates on the necessary processes that need
to be performed. In times of increasing regulatory pressures and accelerating technological
changes his work offers valuable knowledge not only for professionals in the financial services
industry but for every investor as well." --Marco Weiss, Frankfurt University, Germany
KEY FEATURES
Explores the key stages in the investment process, from setting up a fund through its launch
and operation
Explains the roles of participants as well as the ways regulation affects the fund and its
operation
Describes the work flow associated with custody and administration procedures and processes
Defines the role of compliance and risk management in the context of the fund and also how
compliance requirements apply to custodians and administrators
DESCRIPTION
Fund Custody and Administrationprovides an overall perspective of investment funds without
limiting its analysis to specific fund structures, as other books do. Since governance and oversight
of investment funds are now major regulatory requirements, administrators and custodians must
place greater emphasis on the custody and safekeeping of fund assets, on the independent and
robust valuation of the assets, and on collateral management. By focusing on both the asset
transactions made by the investment manager for the portfolio and on the transactions in the
shares or units of the fund itself, it gives readers insights about the essential elements of
investment fund management and administration, regardless of their geographical backgrounds.

This timely book provides a comprehensive discussion of foreign direct investment (FDI)
in Brazil, including the policy environment influencing the patterns and development of
FDI in reviving Brazil's growth momentum as well as the country's transition to a new
growth paradigm less dependent on commodity exports
"Despite its current problems, Brazil remains one of the most promising emerging markets in the
medium to
long term. This book provides an in-depth, crystal-clear analysis of the challenges and prospects of
Brazil's inward and
outward FDI in the post-global financial crisis (GFC) period." --Donghyun Park, Principal
Economist, Asian Development Bank, Philippines
"All too long, ignorance of the 'not-so-easy-quantifiable' determinants of the internationalization
process of firms has overshadowed the debate about the drivers of FDI -- not only in emerging
countries. This book presents a step to lifting the veil of ignorance. Based on empirical evidenceabout one important emerging economy, Brazil, the author shows convincingly how and why it is
the institutional environment that matters for accelerating or restraining the internationalization
of firms." --Christian Bellak, WU Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria
KEY FEATURES
Covers an important contemporary development issue focusing on the experience of one of
the fastest growing and largest emerging economies in the world
Presents econometric findings using data at different levels of aggregation
Provides an in-depth study on the determinants of FDI and their relations to institutions
Explores both the inward and outward ways foreign direct investment (FDI) can help Brazil
sustain economic growth and development in the sometimes hostile post-global crisis era
DESCRIPTION
Foreign Direct Investment in Brazil: Post-Crisis Economic Development in Emerging Markets
explores both the inward and outward ways foreign direct investment (FDI) can help Brazil sustain
economic growth and development in the sometimes hostile post-global crisis era. Inward and
outward FDI have major roles to play in reviving Brazils growth momentum and the countrys
transition to a new growth paradigm less dependent on commodity exports. The book provides a
comprehensive discussion on the analytical framework of FDI and the policy environment
influencing the patterns and development of FDI in Brazil. It compares Brazil to other developing
countries, but its focus rests on how, and to what extent, the global crisis is shaping the Brazilian
institutional environment and its implications for FDI.

structures, and capital raising processesand including case studies that highlight
industry players, risks, economics, and commercial and legal arrangements
"As experienced project finance professionals know, each sector has unique characteristics thatmust be take into account. Most books about energy finance emphasize financing at the expense
of industry economics. In contrast, Robert Clews does a masterful job at tying together the
features of oil and gas investments with the risk management and contract structures of energy
project finance. During a time of dramatic changes in energy markets, this book sets the new
standard for the analysis of structured finance during a period of dramatic change in energy
markets." --John S. Strong, College of William and Mary, USA
KEY FEATURES

DESCRIPTION
The technological interoperability of digital libraries must be rethought in order to adapt to new
uses and networks. Informative digital environments aimed at responding to heritage, cultural,
scientific or commercial demands have taken over the global cyberspace and have redesigned the
techno-informative landscape of the Web. However, while the technological models demonstrate
their effectiveness and explain to a large extent the creation of digital libraries, archives and
deposits, the subjacent concept of uses continues to cause debate.
The information technologies used by heterogeneous digital libraries enable a technical
interoperability of content. This is not enough to allow the adhesion of a public connected to very
different information profiles and techniques. This book explores the avenues of a user-orientated
interoperability where the questions of consultation interfaces and content description processes
are studied.
