Handbook of Finance

URL: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9780470404324

Incorporating timely research and in-depth analysis, the Handbook of Finance is a comprehensive 3-Volume Set that covers both established and cutting-edge theories and developments in finance and investing. Edited by Frank Fabozzi, this set includes valuable insights from global financial experts as well as academics with extensive experience in this field. Organized by topic, this comprehensive resource contains complete coverage of essential issues—from portfolio construction and risk management to fixed income securities and foreign exchange—and provides readers with a balanced understanding of today’s dynamic world of finance.

About Each Volume

Volume 1: Financial Markets and Instruments skilfully covers the general characteristics of different asset classes, derivative instruments, the markets in which financial instruments trade, and the players in those markets. It also addresses the role of financial markets in an economy, the structure and organization of financial markets, the efficiency of markets, and the determinants of asset pricing and interest rates.

Volume 2: Investment Management and Financial Management focus on the theories, decisions, and implementations aspects associated with both financial management and investment management. It discusses issues that dominate the financial management arena—capital structure, dividend policies, capital budgeting, and working capital—and highlights the essential elements of today’s investment management environment, which include allocating funds across major asset classes and effectively dealing with equity and fixed income portfolios.

Volume 3: Valuation, Financial Modelling, and Quantitative Tools contains the most comprehensive coverage of the analytical tools, risk measurement methods, and valuation techniques currently used in the field of finance. It details a variety of concepts, such as credit risk modelling, Black-Scholes option pricing, and Monte Carlo simulation, and offers practical insights on effectively applying them to real-world situations.

Practicle Spreadsheet Modeling Using @ Risk

URL: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.1201/9780429056444/practical-spreadsheet-modeling-using-risk-dale-lehman-huybert-groenendaal

ABSTRACT

Practical Spreadsheet Modeling Using @Risk provides a guide of how to construct applied decision analysis models in spreadsheets. The focus is on the use of Monte Carlo simulation to provide quantitative assessment of uncertainties and key risk drivers. The book presents numerous examples based on real data and relevant practical decisions in a variety of settings, including health care, transportation, finance, natural resources, technology, manufacturing, retail, and sports and entertainment. All examples involve decision problems where uncertainties make simulation modeling useful to obtain decision insights and explore alternative choices. Good spreadsheet modeling practices are highlighted. The book is suitable for graduate students or advanced undergraduates in business, public policy, health care administration, or any field amenable to simulation modeling of decision problems. The book is also useful for applied practitioners seeking to build or enhance their spreadsheet modeling skills.

Features

  • Step-by-step examples of spreadsheet modeling and risk analysis in a variety of fields
  • Description of probabilistic methods, their theoretical foundations, and their practical application in a spreadsheet environment
  • Extensive example models and exercises based on real data and relevant decision problems
  • Comprehensive use of the @Risk software for simulation analysis, including a free one-year educational software license
