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.

Taking Stock The Status of Criminological Theory

Taking Stock The Status of Criminological Theory

Criminology is in a period of much theoretical ferment. Older theories have been revitalized and newer theories have been set forth. The very richness of our thinking about crime however leads to questions about the relative merits of these competing paradigms. Accordingly in this volume advocates of prominent theories are asked to take stock of their perspectives. Their challenge is to assess the empirical status of their theory and to map out future directions for theoretical development. The volume begins with an assessment of three perspectives that have long been at the core of criminology: social learning theory control theory and strain theory. Drawing on these traditions two major contemporary macro-level theories of crime have emerged and are here reviewed: institutional-anomie theory and collective efficacy theory. Critical criminology has yielded diverse contributions discussed in essays on feminist theories radical criminology peacemaking criminology and the effects of racial segregation. The volume includes chapters examining Moffitt's insights on life-course persistent/adolescent-limited anti-social behavior and Sampson and Laub's life-course theory of crime. In addition David Farrington provides a comprehensive assessment of the adequacy of the leading developmental and life-course theories of crime. Finally Taking Stock presents essays that review the status of perspectives that have direct implications for the use of criminological knowledge to control crime. Taken together these chapters provide a comprehensive update of the field's leading theories of crime. The volume will be of interest to criminological scholars and will be ideal for classroom use in courses reviewing contemporary theories of criminal behavior. | Taking Stock The Status of Criminological Theory

The Gulf Stock Exchange Crash The Rise and Fall of the Souq Al-Manakh

The Gulf Stock Exchange Crash The Rise and Fall of the Souq Al-Manakh

The collapse of Souq Al-Manakh in Kuwait in August 1982 was the most spectacular financial crash of recent years. The market had developed as a parallel stock exchange dealing in the shares of Gulf companies not resident in Kuwait. Fuelled by manic speculation the market grew at a phenomenal rate throughout 1981 and early 1982. Inexperienced investors gambled huge sums on the shares of shell companies promoted largely for share speculation. At the height of the market US$92 billion was outstanding on nearly 30 000 postdated cheques the usual form of payment used in the market. The financial crisis created by the collapse of the Souq Al-Manakh threatened the stability of Kuwait. The government was forced to intervene and absorb the major part of the loss. This book first published in 1986 traces the growth of the stock market and analyses its collapse. It also discusses in detail the wider impact of this debacle on the economic life of the Gulf. | The Gulf Stock Exchange Crash The Rise and Fall of the Souq Al-Manakh

The Social Challenges and Opportunities of Low Carbon Development

The Social Challenges and Opportunities of Low Carbon Development

This book explores the social implications and challenges of low-carbon development. The argument of the book is that a broad understanding of low-carbon development is essential for mitigating climate change and enabling development in a carbon-constrained world but there are risks that low-carbon development might come at a price that is both social and economic. These risks need to be carefully assessed and reduced. The main aim of the book is to explore critically analyse and propose different ways of understanding low-carbon development from a social perspective in both developed and developing countries. The author uses concepts such as low-carbon development social policy sustainable development and environmental justice to understand the social implications of low-carbon development projects. The book first elaborates the need to understand the social issues and challenges of low-carbon development in both developed and developing countries. It then discusses five contemporary challenges of low-carbon development: the social consequences of Chinese hydropower dams in the Mekong region; the cost of the transition to renewable energies such as wind energy in Germany; the challenges of carbon offsetting in Brazil; the nexus of fuel-inefficient housing and fuel poverty in England; solar power for refugees in Africa. The book fills a crucial gap for researchers postgraduates practitioners and policy-makers in the fields of climate change development and social policy.

Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Low-dimensional compounds are molecules that correspond to various shapes such as rod ladder (one-dimensional compounds) and sheet (two-dimensional compounds). They are ordinarily found in electromagnetic fields. Recently versatile low-dimensional compounds were proposed for use as components of various functional materials. These new-class low-dimensional compounds contribute significantly to industrial/materials sciences. The molecular architecture consisting of low-dimensional compounds can also be found in nature. One example is the cell cytoskeleton which is a network- or bundle-like architecture consisting of rod-like protein assemblies. The cell accomplishes its motility by structural transition of the cytoskeleton—that is phase transition of the architecture of low-dimensional compounds in response to some stimuli induces shape changes in cells. Another example is nacre which is composed of layered aragonite platelets usually a metastable CaCO3 polymorph. The layered inorganic platelets give nacre its stiffness and noncombustibility. Thus the molecular architecture of low-dimensional compounds in natural life contributes to their functionality. This book reviews various advanced studies on the application of low-dimensional compounds and is therefore important for the development of materials sciences and industrial technologies. | Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

The role of small hydropower is becoming increasingly important on a global level. Increasing energy demand and environmental awareness has further triggered research and development into sustainable low-cost technologies. In developing countries particularly in rural areas the possibility of local power generation could considerably improve living conditions. With this in mind the development of a next generation low-head hydropower machines was subject of investigation in the EU-project HYLOW. Being part of the research lines of that project this thesis presents a numerical modelling approach to improve the design of machines like water wheels for increased hydraulic efficiency. Nowadays Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) enables numerical models to be quite accurate and incorporate physical complexities like free surfaces and rotating machines. The results of the CFD simulations carried out in this research show that a change in blade geometry can result in higher torque levels thereby increasing performance. Numerical simulations also enabled to determine the optimal wheel-width to channel-width ratio and further improve performance by modifying the channel bed conditions upstream and downstream of the water wheel. With a power rating in the low kilowatt range low-head hydropower machines like optimised water wheels seem to have a clear potential for small-scale energy generation thereby contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by providing local energy solutions. | Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

The Low-Carbon Good Life

The Low-Carbon Good Life

The Low-Carbon Good Life is about how to reverse and repair four interlocking crises arising from modern material consumption: the climate crisis growing inequality biodiversity loss and food-related ill-health. Across the world today and throughout history good lives are characterised by healthy food connections to nature being active togetherness personal growth a spiritual framework and sustainable consumption. A low-carbon good life offers opportunities to live in ways that will bring greater happiness and contentment. Slower ways of living await. A global target of no more than one tonne of carbon per person would allow the poorest to consume more and everyone to find our models of low-carbon good lives. But dropping old habits is hard and large-scale impacts will need fresh forms of public engagement and citizen action. Local to national governments need to act; equally they need pushing by the power and collective action of citizens. Innovative and engaging and written in a style that combines storytelling with scientific evidence this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change sustainability environmental economics and sustainable consumption as well as non-specialist readers concerned about the climate crisis.

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
