Value-at-Risk Models

In this chapter, we build first a univariate and then a multivariate filtered historical simulation (FHS) model for financial risk management. Both the univariate and multivariate methods simulate future returns from a model using historical return innovations. While the former relies on portfolio returns filtered by a dynamic variance model, the latter uses individual or base asset return …

The Legal Environment and Business Law

In a nation, the law can serve to (1) keep the peace, (2) maintain the status quo, (3) preserve individual rights, (4) protect minorities against majorities, (5) promote social justice, and (6) provide for orderly social change. Some legal systems serve these purposes better than others. Although a nation ruled by an authoritarian government may keep the peace and maintain the status quo, i…

The Theory of Economic Development

T HIS book is the outcome of an invitation by the Warden and Fellows of All Souls to deliver the Chichele Lectures for 1966. The lectures as delivered were four in number.
