Review Parimutuel Applications In Finance: New Markets for New Risks (Finance and Capital Markets) / Palgrave Macmillan:Financial intermediaries supply derivatives to their customers when they can hedge the exposures from these transactions. A static hedge is typically employed by arranging an offsetting transaction with a different customer or a dynamic hedge by trading in the underlying derivatives. There is however a broad range of uncertain exposures where intermediaries tend not to offer derivatives or risk management products, as they are unable to hedge the resulting exposures. Baron and Lange suggest a parimutuel auction system adapted from the betting industry as a solution to this problem. They introduce the parimutuel mechanism and the modifications required to apply the mechanism to the capital markets. The PDCA auction and its mechanics are analyzed and finally the mathematics behind the system are described and illustrated. Includes a forward by Robert J. Shiller, the Stanley B. Resor Professor of Economics, Yale University.

Review Vietnam, a Business Guide / Springer:Written by a business analyst with considerable experience of Vietnam, this book aims to provide a detailed business guide to Vietnam as an emerging market. Foreign investment in, and trade flows with, Vietnam have boomed since Hanoi initiated economic reform in the late 1980s. With a population of 70 million, cheap but relatively skilled labour, and plentiful natural resources, on the one hand, and problems of inadequate infrastructure, excessive bureaucracy, and political constraints on the other, the country has nonetheless become yet more attractive since the relaxation of US economic sanctions and the resumption of multilateral lending.

Review Rational Expectations and Efficiency in Futures Markets / Taylor & Francis:Futures markets frequently hinge upon the expectations of traders and the ability of people operating within them to make maximum use of all available information. The rational expectations hypothesis has emerged as the most powerful analytical tool for examining the formation and consequences of expectations in economic activity. It therefore has a particular bearing on the study of futures markets. Rational Expectations and Efficiency in Futures Markets compares and contrasts rational expectations with the efficient market hypothesis. While some economists have been unable to draw any meaningful distinction between the two approaches, most have agreed that they should be considered separately. Since both are concerned with exploiting information to the fullest capacity, they both face similar problems. A team of international economists contribute original and specially commissioned chapters which answer these issues. A wide range of financial and commodity markets, including currencies, interest rates, livestock, grains and wool, are analyzed in an attempt to discover whether traders in futures markets use all relevant information and whether this is reflected in prices.
