Review The Next Telecom Boom in 50 Pages / Monnoz Publishing:New advances in telecommunications technology, including IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS), VoIP, IPTV, and WiMAX, present the prospect of new market entrants drastically undercutting incumbent telecommunications service providers (telephone companies and cable/satellite TV providers) in operational expenses (OPEX) while enjoying much higher revenue by offering a triple and quadruple play of services (voice, video, data and mobile services) that incumbent service providers cannot offer without drastic captial expenditures (CAPEX). In short, legacy service providers will be driven out of business by disruptive technologies wielded by either new market entrants or their more aggressive competitors. In order to compete, all service providers will have to deploy next generation networks which will result in a greater build out of telecom networks than what was seen in the late 1990's.

Review The Psychology of Finance (Norwegian University Press Publication) / A Scandinavian University Press Publication:What will the price of dollars be tomorrow? How will the stock market behave in the next few months? Is oil going to rise? Price movements have always fascinated investors and economists, but analyses of economic trends explain only a part of the phenomenon. According to the author, some of the mechanisms creating these movements are rational and intelligent, others are ridiculous and absurd. The Psychology of Finance deals with the aspects of stock trading which are usually shrouded in mystery. It offers new and startling insights into the psychology of the market, how the market's behavioral patterns arise, and how we can learn to read them. Among the questions discussed are the occurrence of feedback loops and chaos phenomena; the development and destruction of financial liquidity; attitude mechanisms and how they influence decisions and price patterns; and how and why collective panic can develop.

Review Computational Methods in Decision-Making, Economics and Finance (Applied Optimization) / Springer:Computing has become essential for the modeling, analysis, and optimization of systems. This book is devoted to algorithms, computational analysis, and decision models. The chapters are organized in two parts: optimization models of decisions and models of pricing and equilibria. Optimization is at the core of rational decision making. Even when the decision maker has more than one goal or there is significant uncertainty in the system, optimization provides a rational framework for efficient decisions. The Markowitz mean-variance formulation is a classical example. The first part of the book is on recent developments in optimization decision models for finance and economics. The first four chapters of this part focus directly on multi-stage problems in finance. Chapters 5-8 involve the use of worst-case robust analysis. Chapters 9-11 are devoted to portfolio optimization. [+]The final four chapters are on transportation-inventory with stochastic demand; optimal investment with CRRA utility; hedging financial contracts; and, automatic differentiation for computational finance. The uncertainty associated with prediction and modeling constantly requires the development of improved methods and models. Similarly, as systems strive towards equilibria, the characterization and computation of equilibria assists analysis and prediction. The second part of the book is devoted to recent research in computational tools and models of equilibria, prediction, and pricing. The first three chapters of this part consider hedging issues in finance. Chapters 19-22 consider prediction and modeling methodologies. Chapters 23-26 focus on auctions and equilibria. Volatility models are investigated in chapters 27-28. The final two chapters investigate risk assessment and product pricing. Audience: Researchers working in computational issues related to economics, finance, and management science.

Review The Psychology of World Equity Markets (International Library of Critical Writings in Economics) / Edward Elgar Publishing:Mainstream financial economics has largely ignored the complex cognitive and motivational factors that guide investor trading decisions and that influence the structure and dynamics of world equity markets. Research shows, however, that investor psychology is reliably linked to predictable momentum and reversals in stock prices and, more generally, to stock market bubbles. The first volume reviews the scientific debate between leading behavioral scientists and proponents of rational markets and rational economic man. It also summarizes key elements of a new psychological theory of stock prices with special emphasis on the formation of investor beliefs and the quality of judgment. The articles in the second volume support the behavioral approach with international evidence collected from many sources. Major anomalies in financial decision-making and in the behavior of equity markets are interpreted in the context of new experimental, empirical, and theoretical research.
