Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -A swaption is a sort of fixed-income derivatives in finance, which are widely traded in financial markets. Thus, swaption pricing is a hot topic in financial mathematics. In this thesis, we will analyze swaptions whose short term interest rates are assumed to follow some affine models with dimension of factors more than two, so called multiple-factor interest rate models. Considering there is no analytical solution for such a swaption price , we attempt to approximate it, and our discussion will focus on one of these approximation method proposed by Collin-Dufresne and Goldstein. We will discuss the situations where the underlying interest rate models are Gaussian and CIR2++ respectively and develop this method by providing an accurate measure of approximation errors. Besides, other swaption pricing methods in literatures that provide different insights into swaption other than CDG approximation are discussed, as well as analytical solutions under one-factor interest rate models if exist.

The relationship between customers and organizations has become a very popular topic recently. However the existing literature doesn't include anything related to the upcoming phenomenon 'social network sites'. There is not much research about the effects and value of these social networks in the whole CRM process. This study will try to close the gap or make start for further research. Through an online survey, there will be tested what effects positive word of mouth through social media has on the variables of relationship management and whether this effect has any further positive influences.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Attitude versus Altitude is the seminal work by the well-loved and world-renowned Dr John Chibaya Mbuya, a contemporary of Earl Nightingale. A human mind is like a thinking machine, if used properly. Unfortunately human beings are not taught to think at an early age. They are taught to remember, but that is not thinking. The author has identified ten immortal rules that determine your place in the ranks of the world's most successful people, namely: enthusiasm, ego, knowledge, truth, money, sex, relationships, culture and religion, capabilities, glamour and manipulation. Want to achieve your dreams Then just follow Dr John Chibaya Mbuya's immortal rules.These rules don't change, regardless of who you are and where you are coming from. All you need to do is use them.Your altitude in life will depend mostly on how you use your mind.A human mind is a terrible thing to worst.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The Australian oil and gas industry is highly important to the Australian economy. In this book author investigates the effects of weather, climate change, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on the market value of the Australian oil and gas industry, arising from an interdependent relationship between climate change and the hydrocarbon-producing oil and gas industry. The analysis is undertaken in the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and Kyoto Protocol GHG mitigation policies. The investigations are undertaken at both the industry (oil and gas) and firm (refining) levels using the most important asset pricing models and the application of advanced time series regression techniques. The findings confirm that investors consider weather, climate change and carbon dioxide information in their investment decisions. This book contributes to the emerging field of environmental finance.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The establishment of the European Union provided the working population with the legal right for mobility. However as the figures from Eurostat show, just the legal right is not enough to support a labor mobility decision, the decision needs to be supported and supplemented with other factors at influence of the labor mobility decision. This research aims at finding out the factors supporting the ultimate labor mobility decision and finding out what factors might negatively influence the labor mobility decision. The decision to commute is supported by individual motives, structural factors and the network effects. These factors are withdrawn from the framework set by Stalker (1994, 2008). Despite the fact that the critical claims for mobility are fulfilled labor mobility figures between Germany and the Netherlands are still low. This makes achieving the Lisbon Strategy of 2000, aimed at making the EU the most competitive economy in the world very difficult. In order to make free movement of persons factual, and create a strong and thriving Europe, one should look at lifting barriers and constraints currently in place. 112 pp. Englisch.

It not only facilitates trade by transfer of goods but ensures the goods gets timely delivered at desired point on time, thus bridging gap between the producer, supplier, trader and consumer.The relationship between the producer, transporter and trader is quite intrinsic. It s not just an economic relationship, but also an emotional bonding which ensures timely transfer of goods across the length and breadth of country. In India, the transport sector comprises of large percentage of population who owns and operates transport business for their daily sustenance at very less operating profit. Indian markets are highly dependent on the services provided by the small and medium transporters. The services of small and medium transporters ensure supply of goods at local markets at reasonable price. Government of India, in its advocacy of foreign direct investment in retail sector, stressed that foreign investors will heavily invest in modernization of transport sector in order to facilitate trade. However the realities are strikingly different and if FDI in retail is permitted, it will lead to loss of livelihood of millions. 84 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Automatic Emotion Recognition (AER) is an emerging research area in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) field. As Computers are becoming more and more popular every day, the study of interaction between humans (users) and computers is catching more attention. In order to have a more natural and friendly interface between humans and computers, it would be beneficial to give computers the ability to recognize situations the same way a human does. Equipped with an emotion recognition system, computers will be able to recognize their users' emotional states and show the appropriate reaction to that. In today's HCI systems, machines can recognize the speaker and also content of the speech, using speech recognition and speaker identification techniques. If machines are equipped with emotion recognition techniques, they can also know 'how it is said' to react more appropriately, and make the interaction more natural. One of the most important human communication channels is the auditory channel which carries speech and vocal intonation. Therefore, in this book the speech signals are analyzed in order to set up an automatic system which recognizes the human emotional state. 120 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Bangladesh is one of the richest countries of the world considering the availability of fisheries resources but annual fish production is still less than the demand of country people. Bangladesh earns second highest foreign currency from fisheries sector by exporting fisheries products. Fisheries are playing an important role in the development of Bangladesh and through better management this contribution can be increased much. Huge employment opportunities have been developed based of fisheries in Bangladesh. Food security must be established in Bangladesh by scientific using of all types of resources. We need to use our resources more efficiently in an eco-friendly way so that enough production can be obtained to meet up the country demand. The multiple use of water from ponds needs to be well understood in order that it can be optimally used to produce farm products and meet domestic needs. Fish farming is a profitable and attractive commercial enterprise. This agribusiness study is an endeavor to study the fish farms which includes all activities from input collection to marketing of fish in Bangladesh. 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book focuses on how the risk rating of a country may help to assess its corruption level. I ve investigated and compared country risk and corruption levels in two dynamic European transitional countries, namely Poland and the Czech Republic. A data analysis shows which country risk indicator better tracks the overall corruption level in the ECA region: the best agency out of five ( Fitch, Moody s, S&P s, EIU, ICRG) predicting better corruption within its country risk index ,in the period 2002-2005, results to be Fitch. I ve found that country risk, as measured by risk ratings, deteriorates as corruption increases.It follows from my estimates that an increase in country risk rating by a full rating category (i.e from BBB to A) has led to a raise of the overall corruption index by 2,574 unit which can be considered quite an high amount as the corruption scores of most central European transitional countries show a slighter difference among them. 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Executive compensation, especially in the financial sector, has long been the hot topic for debate. It recently got highlighted once again due to the global financial crisis that showed up as early as in 2008. The outcry is due to the existence of large proportion of performance-based compensation that encourages executives to take high risks in order to generate short-term profits, disregarding firm s future vulnerabilities. The finding showed no formal evidence for above hypothesis although many researchers argued in favor of some sort of executive compensation regulation based on accepted Principles. The book provides insight to the issues like: reason for excessive rise in executive compensation and its relation with risk-taking behavior; principles for executive compensation regulation and global response, with emphasis on Nepal (the blunder of Nepalese regulator, the Central Bank, and need for immediate revocation); and the way forward. The book may be important for students, scholars/professionals, and anyone interested in this field for policy-advocacy purpose. Policy makers, regulators, and government authorities will find it helpful in the decision-making process. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -With this book we aim to contribute to the vast literature on conditional volatility models. Using the ARCH/GARCH class of models introduced in Engel s (1982) seminal paper we forecast one day ahead and ten days ahead Value-at-Risk on several exchange rates. The forecasts are done on a more volatile period than that period from which we estimate the models. We specify three models, GARCH(1,1), EGARCH(1,1) and GJR-GARCH(1,1) and test the models with three assumptions of the error distribution, normal, t and GED. We evaluate the models with Kupiec's (1995) test for unconditional coverage. The data ranges from January 1st 2006 through June 30th 2011. The results suggest that the GARCH(1,1) and GJR-GARCH(1,1) with normally distributed innovations are models adequately capturing the conditional variance in the series. 52 pp. Englisch.

This paper examines the economic value of wildlife resources in West Kilimanjaro range lands using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). Specifically, it analyses the nature of the resources use, the value that people place on the resources and the motives behind the unsustainable use of the same. It does so using some primary data which were collected in a survey which was conducted involving 6 villages out of the 9 villages which make up the Eduimet Wildlife Management Area (WMA) within west Kilimanjaro range lands. The key findings of this paper were that the majorities were willing to conserve the resources thus revealing the value they place on the them. However, there were still some drawbacks in the conservation of the wildlife resources which needed a policy attention. These among others involved the unsustainable use of the resources intensified by poor monitoring of the licensed hunters motivated by the lucrative bush meat business and other motives. 116 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Life is characterised with transitional movements and this is caused mainly by socio-economic and political factors. It was noted that when the migrants reach their destinations there are various socio-economic, political and cultural relationships that will be forged in order for them to sustain life. In this research there are migrants from Mozambique who had settled among the autochthones in Mwanyisa Village after fleeing the civil war in their country of origin and it was noted that various relations emerged. These people had differences on accessing strategic natural resources like land, firewood, and thatch grass among others. Due to these misunderstandings the people from Mozambique and the indigenous people would end up clashing over the control and utilisation of these strategic resources. Basically, these conflicts are based on economic factors or assets that social groups perceive as very important for their survival. Apart from that, there are social conflicts that arise as a result of witchcraft accusations, violations of the girl child rights and alcohol abuse. 52 pp. Englisch.
