Antoni Bosch Editor, S.A. La vertiginosa adaptabilidad de los mercados
Book SynopsisLos economistas no se ponen de acuerdo sobre si los inversores y los mercados son racionales y eficientes, tal y como supone la moderna teoría de las finanzas, o irracionales e ineficientes, tal y como creen los economistas del comportamiento y como sugieren las burbujas y las crisis financieras. De cómo se resuelva este debate depende que se gestionen bien las inversiones financieras. Con este libro Andrew W. Lo zanja esta cuestión dándole un nuevo marco conceptual: la Hipótesis de los Mercados Adaptativos, en la que la conviven racionalidad y la irracionalidad.Basándose en profundos conocimientos de psicología, biología evolutiva, neurociencia e inteligencia artificial, esta obra sostiene que la teoría de los mercados eficientes no es errónea sino incompleta. Cuando los mercados son inestables, los inversores reaccionan instintivamente, creando ineficiencias que otros pueden aprovechar. El nuevo paradigma del autor explica cómo la evolución de las finanzas, que ocurre a la velocidad del pensamiento, condiciona el comportamiento de los inversores y de los mercados. Un hecho que ponen de manifiesto los vaivenes entre estabilidad y crisis, ganancia y pérdida, e innovación y regulación.

Antoni Bosch Editor, S.A. Mercados radicales: Cómo subvertir el capitalismo
Book SynopsisEn muchas ocasiones, la desigualdad económica, el estancamiento y la inestabilidad política del mundo actual se achacan al libre mercado. Según esta visión, la solución pasaría por atar en corto al mercado. Mercados radicales le da la vuelta a esta idea, y prácticamente a todo el pensamiento convencional tanto a favor como en contra de los mercados. Este libro desvela maneras novedosas y audaces de organizar el mercado en beneficio de todos, y argumenta que la fuerza emancipadora de unos mercados verdaderamente abiertos, libres y competitivos permitiría superar el espíritu desquiciado de nuestro siglo XXI para conducirnos a una mayor igualdad, prosperidad y cooperación.Eric Posner y E. Glen Weyl demuestran que la propiedad privada es inherentemente monopolística y que a todos nos iría mejor si estuviera sometida a un tipo de subasta pública que favoreciera el bien común. Sostienen que el principio de «una persona, un voto» es una cortapisa para la democracia y proponen una ingeniosa alternativa. Proponen, además, aprovechar las leyes antimonopolio para liberar a los mercados del dominio de los inversores institucionales y crear un movimiento de trabajadores de los datos (es decir, de los usuarios de las redes sociales) para obligar a los monopolios digitales a compensarlos por la cesión de sus datos.Sostienen, en definitiva, que una expansión radical del alcance de los mercados es la vía más fiable para reducir la desigualdad, promover el crecimiento económico y resolver los conflictos políticos.

Springer Transfer Pricing and Valuation in Corporate Taxation: Federal Legislation vs. Administrative Practice
Book SynopsisTransfer Pricing and Valuation in Corporate Taxation analyzes the disparities between both federal statutes and regulations, and r- ulations and administrative practice, in a highly controversial area of corporate tax policy: intra-company transfer pricing for tax p- poses. It addresses issues that often mean millions of dollars to in- vidual corporations, and a significant fraction of the federal gove- ment’s revenue base. These disparities between law, regulations, and administrative practice are concerning on a number of grounds. First, they - pose considerable economic costs by inducing corporations to engage in a variety of “rent-seeking” activities designed to reduce their - pected tax liabilities, and by requiring the IRS to devote still more to enforcement efforts that are very often futile. Second, they are in- ; herently undemocratic. Administrative practice is currently ad hoc by relying on dispute resolution procedures that can and do yield very different settlements on disputed tax issues from one case to another, the IRS often ends up treating similarly situated cor- rations very differently. Moreover, to the extent that the disp- ity between statute and implementation reflects the IRS’s failure to carry out Congress’ will, the laws passed by duly elected officials are effectively being superseded by administrative procedure, developed incrementally by individuals who are not answerable to an electorate.Table of ContentsPreface.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Corporate Governance and Value Creation in Japan:
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to furnish a root cause of the low valuation of Japanese listed companies by using, as qualitative evidence, unique global investor surveys, which are rarely available for Japanese companies. Also contained in this book as quantitative evidence is empirical research with regression analysis implying a positive correlation between corporate governance and value creation in Japan.The author explains the rationale underlying the suggestion of the Ito Review on return on equity (ROE) 8% guidance, an almost 50% discounted valuation of the cash held by Japanese companies, corporate value and ROE, equity spread as a key performance indicator for value creation, an optimal dividend policy based on optimal capital structure, risk-adjusted hurdle rates for value-creative investment criteria, and the synchronization of environmental, social, and governance with equity spread.Illustrated with relevant statistics, evidence of shareholders’ voices, case studies, and empirical research, the book is highly recommended for readers who seek qualitative and quantitative evidence of Japan’s problems and potential prescriptions in connection with value creation. “This book empirically proves the relationship between non-financial capitals defined by IIRC and corporate value, and provides a convincing method to unlock corporate value in Japan via Abenomics corporate governance reforms. A must read!”Richard S. Howitt, Chief Executive Officer, International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) “This book addresses emerging issues such as the "Power of Intangibles" in addition to IMA-defined "Equity Spread" as a gauge for value creation from the viewpoint of management accounting. It is highly recommended for finance and accounting professionals.”Jeffrey C. Thomson, CMA, CAE.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Lecture Notes In Behavioral Finance
Book SynopsisThis volume presents lecture notes for a course in behavioral finance, most suitable for MBA students, but also adaptable for a PhD class. These lecture notes are based on the author's experience in teaching behavioral finance classes at Bocconi University (at the PhD level) and at the Academic College of Tel Aviv-Yaffo (MBA).Written in a way that is user-friendly for both teachers and students, this book is the first of its kind and consolidates all the material necessary for a course on behavioral finance, balancing psychological concepts with financial applications. Material formerly presented only in academic papers has been transformed to a format more suitable for students, while the most important issues have been highlighted in boxes that can form the basis of a lecturer's teaching slides.In addition to corralling all the currently scattered materials into one book, a neat logical order is introduced to the subject matter. Behavioral finance is put in a context relative to the other disciplines of finance, its history is outlined and the way it evolved — from an eclectic collection of counter examples to market efficiency into a bona fide discipline of finance — is reviewed and explained.The 17 topic-based chapters in this book are each intended for a 90-minute lecture. The first five chapters (Part 1) provide the psychological and financial foundations of behavioral finance. The next 12 chapters (Part 2) are applications: Chapters 6-13 cover the essentials while Chapters 14-17 are special, elective topics.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Working Capital Management: Concepts And
Book SynopsisWorking capital refers to the money that a company uses to finance its daily operations. Proper management of working capital is critical to financial health and operational success. Working capital management (WCM) aims to maximize operational efficiency by maintaining a delicate balance among growth, profitability, and liquidity.

By efficiently managing a firm's cash, accounts receivable, inventories, and accounts payable, managers can help maintain smooth operations and improve a company's earnings and profitability. By contrast, poor WCM could lead to a lower credit score, financial insolvency, legal troubles, liquidation of assets, and potential bankruptcy.This book provides an objective look into the dynamic world of WCM. Its coverage extends from discussing basic concepts and their applications to increasingly complex and real-world situations. The book stresses that WCM is a combination of both art and science. This volume spans the gamut from theoretical to practical while offering the right balance of detailed and user-friendly coverage. Readers can gain an in-depth understanding of this subject from experts in this field. Those who want a broad survey will benefit, as will readers looking for more in-depth presentations of specific areas within this field of study.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Vanishing Borders of Urban Local Finance: Global
Book SynopsisThis book examines the emerging trends in vanishing borders of urban local government finance due to uncertain local tax and expenditure regimes. It analyzes the global developments with illustrations from state budgetary operations of the Indian federation. This trend has gained momentum due to concentration of population in cities and big towns as a consequence of globalization, leading to enhanced environmental vulnerability due to climate change. Expanding expenditure needs have not been corresponded by revenue regimes and transfers. Moreover, involving corporate sector in local area preference initiatives through mandatory corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an interesting development. It is expected to work as a local fiscal additionality to supplement locally provided civic and infrastructure services. This additionality may also evolve into public private partnerships at the local level. Such development however has the potential of displacing local government operations. The focus of the book hinges around critically examining setbacks to fiscal decentralization and challenges in improving the status of urban local finances to enhance fiscal autonomy of these governments, particularly in Indian scenario. The book also explores the possibility of an expanded role of local fiscal policy in the context of globalization and climate change, besides addressing the conventional responsibilities with respect to quality of civic services.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Background and Emerging Challenges.- Chapter 2: Theory of Fiscal Federalism and Local Fiscal Domain.- Chapter 3: Fiscal Decentralization and Local Area Corporate Social Responsibility.- Chapter 4: Globalization, Climate Change and Changing Face of Urban Public Finance.- Chapter 5: Undermining Conventional User Charges.- Chapter 6: Grants in Aid and Bailouts in Municipal Finance.- Chapter 7: Off Budget Activities and Autonomous Specific Purpose Boards.- Chapter 8: Institutional Constraints on Local Fiscal Mobilisation.- Chapter 9: Limitations of Environmental Federalism: State vs Local Expenditure.- Chapter 10: Potential Local Taxes and Prospects for Municipal Bonds.- Chapter 11: Summary and Conclusion.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Employee Stock Options: Exercise Timing, Hedging,
Book SynopsisEmployee stock options (ESOs) are an integral component of compensation in the US. In fact, almost all S&P 500 companies grant options to their top executives, and the total value accounts for almost half of the total pay for their CEOs. In view of the extensive use and significant cost of ESOs to firms, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has mandated expensing ESOs since 2004. This gives rise to the need to create a reasonable valuation method for these options for most firms that grant ESOs to their employees. The valuation of ESOs involves a number of challenging issues, and is thus an important active research area in Accounting, Corporate Finance, and Financial Mathematics.In this exciting book, the author discusses the practical and challenging problems surrounding ESOs from a financial mathematician's perspective. This book provides a systematic overview of the contractual features of ESOs and thoughtful discussions of different valuation approaches, with emphasis on three major aspects: (i) hedging strategies; (ii) exercise timing; and (iii) valuation methodologies. In addition to addressing each of these categories, this book also highlights their connections and combined effects of the cost of ESOs to firms, as well as examines the implications to modeling and valuation approaches. The book features a unique approach that combines stochastic modeling and control techniques with option pricing theory, and provides formulas and numerical schemes for fast implementation and clear illustration.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Behavioral Finance: The Coming Of Age
Book SynopsisThe area of behavioral finance, though relatively young, has matured and spread beyond its initial objectives: to demonstrate the fallibility of the efficient market hypothesis, to shake the belief in the ubiquity of rational decision making, and to convince the finance world of the importance of psychological biases in decision making. The success of the field in meeting its goals, however, has called into question its continued relevance. Behavioral finance is thus currently at a crossroads, and researchers need to decide which way they should turn for the area to continue to thrive and to meaningfully contribute to financial knowledge.This collection of papers deals with rarely-explored topics to point at new directions that behavioral finance should explore to maintain its viability, along with contributions to traditional topics. Some of these topics include innovations, the psychology of policy-makers, biases of peer-to-peer market participants, the behavior and motivation behind corporate social responsibility, and the design of exchanges. Additionally, well-known topics such as the disposition effect, slow and fast decisions and the availability heuristic are revisited, and surprising new findings are presented.By opening the field to novel avenues of discussion, this book addresses the future of behavioral finance and its transition into a new era.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Roles of Financial Institutions and Credit
Book SynopsisThis book is about the roles that financial institutions are expected to play for revitalizing regional economies in Japan, which face several serious problems such as a rapidly aging population as well as a sharp decline in population. The Japanese government expects regional financial institutions to contribute to that revitalization. Actually, Japanese regional financial institutions have made various efforts to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to increase their profitability and sustainability. However, the efforts have not yet produced adequate outcomes. To help clarify the reasons for the failures and to offer policy recommendations, the authors used four questionnaires to conduct surveys. They sent the questionnaires to the headquarters of regional financial institutions for Chapter 1 and to the staffs of regional financial institutions for Chapter 2. The government revised the Credit Guarantee System Reform Act in 2017 to promote financial institutions and credit guarantee corporations in order to proactively support SMEs, so in Chapter 3 the aims of the revised act are explained. Chapter 4 is based on a survey of startups that used the public credit guarantee. Finally, Chapter 5 is based on another, different questionnaire that was sent to SMEs to find out why they failed to improve their risk management and how financial institutions can help them to prepare for disasters. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, these questionnaire studies on regional revitalization have not been carried out elsewhere, making this book unique.Table of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgement Contents About the Authors Chapter 1 How Regional Financial Institutions Can Promote Regional Revitalization in Japan: Results of the 2017 Survey on Regional Finance Abstract Key words 1.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Corporate Policies In A World With Information
Book SynopsisA corporate manager typically oversees several ongoing projects and has the opportunity to invest in new projects that add wealth to the stockholders. Such new projects include expanding the corporation's existing business, entering into a new line of business, acquiring another business, and so on. If the firm does not have sufficient internal capital (cash) to finance the initial investment, the manager must enter into a transaction with outside investors to raise additional funds.In this situation, the manager of a public corporation faces two key decisions:Modern corporate finance theory, originating with the seminal work of Merton Miller and Franco Modigliani, has demonstrated that these decisions depend on the information that the manager and investors have about the firm's future cash flows.In this book, the authors examine these decisions by assuming that the manager has private information about the firm's future cash flows. They provide a unified framework that yields new theoretical insights and explains many empirical anomalies documented in the literature.Table of ContentsIntroduction; The Capital Acquisition Decision: Model; The Capital Acquisition Decisions under Symmetric Information; The Capital Acquisition Decisions under Information Asymmetry: Good Economy; Capital Acquisition Decisions under Information Asymmetry: Average Economy and Bad Economy; Application of the Theory when Managers can only Issue Debt and Equity; Application of the Theory to Other Security Spaces; Application of the Theory for Practitioners; Concluding Remarks and Future Research.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Financial Valuation And Econometrics (2nd
Book SynopsisThis book is an introduction to financial valuation and financial data analyses using econometric methods. It is intended for advanced finance undergraduates and graduates. Most chapters in the book would contain one or more finance application examples where finance concepts, and sometimes theory, are taught.This book is a modest attempt to bring together several important domains in financial valuation theory, in econometrics modelling, and in the empirical analyses of financial data. These domains are highly intertwined and should be properly understood in order to correctly and effectively harness the power of data and statistical or econometrics methods for investment and financial decision-making.The contribution in this book, and at the same time, its novelty, is in employing materials in basic econometrics, particularly linear regression analyses, and weaving into it threads of foundational finance theory, concepts, ideas, and models. It provides a clear pedagogical approach to allow very effective learning by a finance student who wants to be well equipped in both theory and ability to research the data.This is a handy book for finance professionals doing research to easily access the key techniques in data analyses using regression methods. Students learn all 3 skills at once — finance, econometrics, and data analyses. It provides for very solid and useful learning for advanced undergraduate and graduate students who wish to work in financial analyses, risk analyses, and financial research areas.Table of ContentsProbability Distribution and Statistics; Statistical Laws and Central Limit Theorem / Application: Stock Return Distributions; Two-Variable Linear Regression/Application: Financial Hedging; Model Estimation / Application: Capital Asset Pricing Model; Constrained Regression / Application: Cost of Capital; Time Series Analysis / Application: Inflation Forecasting; Random Walk / Application: Market Efficiency; Autoregression and Persistence / Application: Predictability; Estimation Errors and T-Tests / Application: Event Studies; Multiple Linear Regression and Stochastic Regressors; Dummy Variables and ANOVA / Application: Time Effect Anomalies; Specification Errors; Cross-Sectional Regression / Application: Testing CAPM; More Multiple Linear Regressions / Application: Multi-Factor Asset Pricing; Errors-in-Variable / Application: Exchange Rates and Risk Premium; Unit Root Processes / Application: Purchasing Power Parity; Conditional Heteroskedasticity / Application: Risk Estimation; Maximum Likelihood and Goodness of Fit / Application: Choice of Copulas; Mean Reverting Continuous Time Process / Application: Bonds and Term Structures; Implied Parameters / Application: Option Pricing; Generalised Method of Moments / Application: Consumption-Based Asset Pricing; Multiple Time Series Regression / Application: Term Structure of Volatilities; Fixed and Random Effects Model / Application: Synchronicity of Stock Returns; LOGIT and PROBIT Regressions / Application: Categorization and Prediction;

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd World Scientific Reference On Contingent Claims
Book SynopsisBlack and Scholes (1973) and Merton (1973, 1974) (hereafter referred to as BSM) introduced the contingent claim approach (CCA) to the valuation of corporate debt and equity. The BSM modeling framework is also named the 'structural' approach to risky debt valuation. The CCA considers all stakeholders of the corporation as holding contingent claims on the assets of the corporation. Each claim holder has different priorities, maturities and conditions for payouts. It is based on the principle that all the assets belong to all the liability holders.The BSM modeling framework gives the basic fundamental version of the structural model where default is assumed to occur when the net asset value of the firm at the maturity of the pure-discount debt becomes negative, i.e., market value of the assets of the firm falls below the face value of the firm's liabilities. In a regime of limited liability, the shareholders of the firm have the option to default on the firm's debt. Equity can be viewed as a European call option on the firm's assets with a strike price equal to the face value of the firm's debt. Actually, CCA can be used to value all the components of the firm's liabilities, equity, warrants, debt, contingent convertible debt, guarantees, etc.In the four volumes we present the major academic research on CCA in corporate finance starting from 1973, with seminal papers of Black and Scholes (1973) and Merton (1973, 1974). Volume I covers the foundation of CCA and contributions on equity valuation. Volume II focuses on corporate debt valuation and the capital structure of the firm. Volume III presents empirical evidence on the valuation of debt instruments as well as applications of the CCA to various financial arrangements. The papers in Volume IV show how to apply the CCA to analyze sovereign credit risk, contingent convertible bonds (CoCos), deposit insurance and loan guarantees. Volume 1: Foundations of CCA and Equity ValuationVolume 1 presents the seminal papers of Black and Scholes (1973) and Merton (1973, 1974). This volume also includes papers that specifically price equity as a call option on the corporation. It introduces warrants, convertible bonds and taxation as contingent claims on the corporation. It highlights the strong relationship between the CCA and the Modigliani-Miller (M&M) Theorems, and the relation to the Capital Assets Pricing Model (CAPM). Volume 2: Corporate Debt Valuation with CCAVolume 2 concentrates on corporate bond valuation by introducing various types of bonds with different covenants as well as introducing various conditions that trigger default. While empirical evidence indicates that the simple Merton's model underestimates the credit spreads, additional risk factors like jumps can be used to resolve it. Volume 3: Empirical Testing and Applications of CCAVolume 3 includes papers that look at issues in corporate finance that can be explained with the CCA approach. These issues include the effect of dividend policy on the valuation of debt and equity, the pricing of employee stock options and many other issues of corporate governance. Volume 4: Contingent Claims Approach for Banks and Sovereign DebtVolume 4 focuses on the application of the contingent claim approach to banks and other financial intermediaries. Regulation of the banking industry led to the creation of new financial securities (e.g., CoCos) and new types of stakeholders (e.g., deposit insurers).
