Margins of Error in Accounting

was an articled clerk half a century ago I remember being amused by the letters ‘E&OE’ which used to appear on invoices, stand- ing for ‘Errors and Omissions Excepted’. They are a down-to-earth reminder that numbers in business are not always correct. Accounts themselves can hardly ever be more than rough-and-ready interim esti- mates of a company’s financial progress. It was som…

Principles of Financial Economics

Financial economics plays a far more prominent role in the training of economists than it did even a few years ago. This change is generally attributed to the parallel transformation in capital markets that has occurred in recent years. It is true that trillions of dollars of assets are traded daily in financial markets—for derivative securities like options and futures, for example—that h…

Brain research is voluminous in the 21st century. For now, though, please ask yourself: How do I learn? Isn’t that an interesting question? And, what do you learn? Do you learn information from reading, watching videos, u…

ACCOUNTING WORKBOOK FOR DUMMIES

First of all, I have to admit that accounting has an image problem. Be honest: What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you see the word “accountant”? You probably think of a nerd wearing a green eyeshade who has the personality of an undertaker (no offense meant to undertakers, of course). Well, I’ve never worn a green eyeshade in my life, and I can assure you that I’…

Business Ethics

Despite the recent rash of corporate scandals and the resulting rush to address the problem by adding more laws and regulations, seemingly little attention has been paid to how the nature (not the substance) of rules may or may not affect ethical decision-making. Drawing on work in the law, ethics, management, psychology, and other social sciences, this article explores how several characterist…

FINANCIAL SYSTEMS

This paper offers a comprehensive comparison of the structure of banking and financial markets in the euro area. Based on this, several hypotheses about the role of banks in monetary policy transmission are developed.
