Global Stock Market Development Quantitative and Behavioural Analysis

Global Stock Market Development Quantitative and Behavioural Analysis

In the current era of globalised financial markets the stock market cannot be assessed solely by comparing quantitative features such as the number of listed companies or capitalisation on the stock exchange. This is of secondary importance from an investor's point of view. What is important however is how a given stock market behaves towards the environment – whether it is ‘hyperactive’ or ‘excessively lethargic’ in response to information. This book provides an innovative tool for assessing global stock markets. It describes the complex concept of ‘stock market development’ in light of classical and behavioural finance theories and considers both quantitative (the number of listed companies turnover etc. ) and behavioural aspects (price volatility the behaviour of fundamental indicators of listed companies). Based on an innovative method for assessing development the author analyses 130 stock markets indicating those that are more developed in terms of quantity and behaviour. Ultimately this enables the assessment of which markets are more or less developed and why. This knowledge used properly offers an advantage over other financial market participants and allows for the comprehensive assessment of individual stock markets which can support the process of making good investment decisions. The book is an invaluable resource for research fellows and students in economics particularly the field of finance. It is also addressed to business and stock market practitioners such as financial market analysts brokers and investment advisers. | Global Stock Market Development Quantitative and Behavioural Analysis

Stock Exchange Automation

Stock Exchange Automation

Originally published in 1994 Stock Exchange Automation addresses the pivotal role played by capital markets in the market economics. Capital markets are an essential component of the free market system. The book argues that the capital markets function as an allocator of investable funds among competing uses. The movement toward automated markets requires that we understand how automation changes market behaviour. The book also examines the concept of market microstructure theory and the implication that some forms of automation should affect prices. Theories of price formation in the specialist based trading system hypothesise that the trading mechanism induces short term price volatility.

A Weberian Analysis of Business Groups and Financial Markets Trade Relations in Taiwan and Korea and some Major Stock Exchanges

A Weberian Analysis of Business Groups and Financial Markets Trade Relations in Taiwan and Korea and some Major Stock Exchanges

Moral economy as a set of rules which regulate market transactions has been the object of much research and debate since the 1980s; it has also been the focus of classical sociological authors such as Weber Simmel and Toennies. Weber in particular examined the rules of the moral economy in the financial markets and this volume sheds light on his contribution to the subject. The book formulates two models of business relations - one oligopolistic model the other based on free competition - which are derived from Weber and Simmel's writings and which represent alternative instances of the moral economy. Empirical case studies in the form of South Korea and Taiwan are included to exemplify the two models and to highlight the consequences of adopting one model over the other. The volume also examines the conduct of actors in some of the leading financial markets with reference to Weber's writings on the 19th century London and Berlin Stock Exchanges. | A Weberian Analysis of Business Groups and Financial Markets Trade Relations in Taiwan and Korea and some Major Stock Exchanges

Green Growth and Low Carbon Development in East Asia

Green Growth and Low Carbon Development in East Asia

The concept of green growth coupled with one of green economy and low carbon development is a global concern especially in the face of the multiple crises that the world has faced in recent years - climate oil food and financial crises. In East Asia this concept is regarded as the key in transforming cheap-labour dependent export-oriented industries towards a more sustainable development. Green Growth and Low Carbon Development in East Asia examines the beginnings of low carbon green growth in practice in East Asia and how effectively it has directed East Asian nations especially Korea China and Japan to put environment and climate challenges as the core target zone for investment and growth. Special focus is paid to energy and international trade - areas in which these nations compete with pioneered nations of Europe and the United States to develop renewable energy industries and enhance their international competitiveness. On the basis of the lessons learned in East Asia together with a comparison of Russia this book discusses the applicability and limitations of this developmental approach taken by the developing nations and resource-rich emerging economies including the conditions and contexts in which nations are able to transition into sustainable development through the use of low carbon green growth strategies.

The Causes of High and Low Reading Achievement

The Causes of High and Low Reading Achievement

This book describes all of the important factors that cause some students to have low reading achievement and others to have high reading achievement. It concentrates on the main factors that influence how much a student gains in reading achievement during a year of school or a calendar year. An attempt is made to answer the following questions: what can educators do to increase reading achievement and what is beyond their influence? The author is directly concerned with achievement associated with normal or typical reading. The focus of the book is on things teachers can do during an entire school year that are likely to improve the reading level and reading rate of students which in turn will increase their reading achievement. This effort to specify the most important causes of high and low reading achievement represents an integration of two disciplines of scientific psychology-experimental psychology and psychometrics. A glossary at the end of the book contains definitions of terms and concepts. Helpful appendices explain rauding theory the three laws of rauding theory and the equations that can be used to predict the accuracy of reading comprehension provide conversions among units of rauding rate and list the numbered equations presented in the book. | The Causes of High and Low Reading Achievement

Visions of Energy Futures Imagining and Innovating Low-Carbon Transitions

Visions of Energy Futures Imagining and Innovating Low-Carbon Transitions

This book examines the visions fantasies frames discourses imaginaries and expectations associated with six state-of-the-art energy systems—nuclear power hydrogen fuel cells shale gas clean coal smart meters and electric vehicles—playing a key role in current deliberations about low-carbon energy supply and use. Visions of Energy Futures: Imagining and Innovating Low-Carbon Transitions unveils what the future of energy systems could look like and how their meanings are produced often alongside moments of contestation. Theoretically it analyzes these technological case studies with emerging concepts from various disciplines: utopianism (history of technology) symbolic convergence (communication studies) technological frames (social construction of technology) discursive coalitions (discourse analysis and linguistics) sociotechnical imaginaries (science and technology studies) and the sociology of expectations (innovation studies future studies). It draws from these cases to create a synthetic set of dichotomies and frameworks for energy futures based on original data collected across two global epistemic communities— nuclear physicists and hydrogen engineers—and experts in Eastern Europe and the Nordic region stakeholders in South Africa and newspapers in the United Kingdom. This book is motivated by the premise that tackling climate change via low-carbon energy systems and practices is one of the most significant challenges of the twenty-first century and that success will require not only new energy technologies but also new ways of understanding language visions and discursive politics. The discursive creation of the energy systems of tomorrow are propagated in polity hoping to be realized as the material fact of the future but processed in conflicting ways with underlying tensions as to how contemporary societies ought to be ordered. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars of energy policy energy and environment and technology assessment. | Visions of Energy Futures Imagining and Innovating Low-Carbon Transitions

Europe's Rich Fabric The Consumption Commercialisation and Production of Luxury Textiles in Italy the Low Countries and Neighbouring Terr

Europe's Rich Fabric The Consumption Commercialisation and Production of Luxury Textiles in Italy the Low Countries and Neighbouring Terr

Throughout human history luxury textiles have been used as a marker of importance power and distinction. Yet as the essays in this collection make clear the term 'luxury' is one that can be fraught with difficulties for historians. Focusing upon the consumption commercialisation and production of luxury textiles in Italy and the Low Countries during the late medieval and early modern period this volume offers a fascinating exploration of the varied and subtle ways that luxury could be interpreted and understood in the past. Beginning with the consumption of luxury textiles it takes the reader on a journey back from the market place to the commercialisation of rich fabrics by an international network of traders before arriving at the workshop to explore the Italian and Burgundian world of production of damasks silks and tapestries. The first part of the volume deals with the consumption of luxury textiles through an investigation of courtly purchases as well as urban and clerical markets before the chapters in part two move on to explore the commercialisation of luxury textiles by merchants who facilitated their trade from the cities of Lucca Florence and Venice. The third part then focusses upon manufacture encouraging consideration of the concept of luxury during this period through the Italian silk industry and the production of high-quality woollens in the Low Countries. Graeme Small draws the various themes of the volume together in a conclusion that suggests profitable future avenues of research into this important subject. | Europe's Rich Fabric The Consumption Commercialisation and Production of Luxury Textiles in Italy the Low Countries and Neighbouring Terr

After Globalization Crisis and Disintegration

After Globalization Crisis and Disintegration

In the 1980s U. S. officials adopted tax and monetary policies that channeled huge new resources into Wall Street which fueled a stock market boom. To increase profits and payouts to investors as stock prices soared corporate managers consolidated businesses outsourced manufacturing to low-wage countries and adopted new technologies to increase productivity. Government officials then facilitated mergers and negotiated free trade agreements to speed the process of globalization. Wall Street became an engine of capital accumulation and a force for global change. These developments resulted in massive job losses and stagnant wages for most Americans. Meanwhile tax cuts and the stock market boom created vast new wealth for the rich and the top 10 percent seized 50 percent of all income in the United States. The result was growing economic inequality. During the decades that followed globalization triggered regional economic crises toppled governments transformed societies galvanized economic development in China and created new forms of wealth and inequality around the world. Then in 2008 a financial crisis rooted in Wall Street triggered the Great Recession wrecked the legitimacy of globalization as a development strategy and unleashed populist or restrictionist social movements and political parties that challenged globalization and attacked its economic and political foundations. This book examines the origins of globalization in the 1980s the developments that triggered the Great Recession and the political and economic forces that contributed to the disintegration of globalization as a force for change in the modern world. After Globalization explains what happened—and what comes next. | After Globalization Crisis and Disintegration

Will Sustainability Fly? Aviation Fuel Options in a Low-Carbon World

Will Sustainability Fly? Aviation Fuel Options in a Low-Carbon World

While international negotiations to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been less than satisfactory there is a presumption that a significant level of multi-lateral commitment will be realized at some point. International air and marine travel have been left to one side in past talks because the pursuit of agreement proceeds on the basis of commitment by sovereign nations and the effects of these specific commercial activities are by their nature difficult to corral and assign to specific national jurisdictions. However air travel is increasing and unless something is done emissions from this segment of our world economy will form a progressively larger percentage of the total especially as emissions fall in other activities. This book focuses on fuel. The aim is to provide background in technical and policy terms from the broadest reliable sources of information available for the necessary discourse on society's reaction to the evolving aviation emissions profile. It considers what policy has been why and how commercial air travel is committed to its current liquid fuel how that fuel can be made without using fossil-source materials and the barriers to change. It also advances some elements of policy remedies that make sense in providing an environmentally and economically sound way forward in a context that comprehends a more complete vision of sustainability than 'renewable fuels' traditionally have. The goal of Will Sustainability Fly? is to broaden and contextualize the knowledge resource available to academics policy makers air industry leaders and stakeholders and interested members of the public. | Will Sustainability Fly?

Plotting Squatting Public Purpose and Politics Land Market Development Low Income Housing and Public Intervention in India

This title was first published in 2003. Since independence in 1947 India has undergone a phase of rapid urbanization. New planning laws have been passed new organizations established public policy documents and discussion papers prepared and a host of land and housing schemes have been implemented. Still however the vast majority of urban expansion is an unplanned process that takes the form of squatting and illegal or semi-legal land subdivision. By looking in detail at two rapidly growing cities in Andhra Pradesh (Vijayawada and Viaskhapatnam) this book explores cultural physical-spatial political and economic determinants of the allocation of urban land and of urban growth in India in historical context. It focuses on the interplay between the government and the organizations in charge of their implementation and the private sector on the other. Special attention is given to the conditions of the urban poor with the changes in their socio-economic conditions. | Plotting Squatting Public Purpose and Politics Land Market Development Low Income Housing and Public Intervention in India
