Review Asset Pricing Theory and Tests (International Library of Critical Writings in Economics) / Edward Elgar Publishing:Asset pricing lies at the heart of financial economics, being not only the foundation of every other field in this subject area, but also having prime relevance for practical decision-making. For this two-volume collection the editor has selected some of the most influential articles which have been published on this topic since the 1970s. These papers offer an overview of the theories of asset pricing, an investigation and critique of the empirical tests applied to these theories and an examination of four particular models: the linear risk tolerance CAPM, the comsumption-based CAPM, the arbitrage pricing model and the stochastic discount factor model. Grauer has written an introduction which gives a balanced discussion of the competing papers and provides a comprehensive review of the subject.

Review Elsevier's Dictionary of Export Financing and Credit Insurance / Elsevier Science:The world is changing and so are international trades in goods and services, their financing as well as their traditional forms of ensuring and guaranteeing. The second edition of this dictionary takes account of this ongoing development. Twenty years ago, export credit insurance was, nearly exclusively, a matter of state support to the exporting industry: preferential financing facilities offered through state banks and public export credit insurance through governmental or state-near export credit agencies (ECAs). The terminology was dependent on the national legal and commercial systems of these institutions. Ten years ago, it became obvious that export credit insurance was no longer an exclusive matter of ECAs when all major private credit insurers began to offer cover for commercial risks. Today, we are at the edge of covering even political risks on the account of private credit insurance companies and their reinsurers. These economic developments left their traces in the terminology of export financing and credit insurance and will continue to do so in the future. This dictionary may be useful to practitioners, exporters, bankers and credit insurance companies in particular, as well as to specialised translators, scholars and scientists.

Review Money and Modernity: State and Local Currencies in Melanesia (Asao Monograph) / University of Pittsburgh Press:Melanesian societies provide unmatched opportunities for posing some of th e most potent questions in anthropology. While modern money issued by the state has been accepted throughout Melanesia, many indigenous currencies, such as shells, survive. Why? What are the differences between shells and dollars? Are both simply a means of exchange? Why do Melanesians see money as both desirable and dangerous? Answers to these questions provide a window on the effect of money on social life throughout history. While scholars have long been aware of changing currency regimes in Melanesia, subtle ethnographic study has been rare. This collection of original essays fills this gap, exploring money and its social dynamic in eight different Melanesian communities. Editors David Akin and Joel Robbins synthesize the research and, in a penetrating analysis, describe new models for thinking about money. David Akin is an independent scholar living in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He has spent five years living in the Kwaio area of Malaita in the Solomon Island s since 1979, most recently in 1997. His publications about Kwaio include studies of spirits, politics, oral history, suicide, art, and educational development. He is writing a book about how Kwaio religious change is generating new forms of gender-based inequality. [+]Joel Robbins is an assistant professor of anthropology at the University o f California, San Diego.
