Written in a rigorous yet logical and easy to use style, spanning a range of disciplines, including business, mathematics, finance and economics, this comprehensive textbook offers a systematic, self-sufficient yet concise presentation of the main topics and related parts of stochastic analysis and statistical finance that are covered in the majority of university programmes.

Providing all explanations of basic concepts and results with proofs and numerous examples and problems, it includes:

• an introduction to probability theory
• a detailed study of...

This concise textbook presents students with all they need for advancing in mathematical economics. Detailed yet student-friendly, Vohra's book contains chapters in, amongst others:

* Feasibility
* Convex Sets
* Linear and Non-linear Programming
* Lattices and Supermodularity.

Higher level undergraduates as well as postgraduate students in mathematical economics will find this book extremely useful in their development as economists.

At each point in time, individuals make choices with respect to the acquisition, sale, and/or use of a variety of different goods. Such activity can be summarized by aggregate variables such as an economy's total production of various goods and services, the aggregate level of unemployment, the general level of interest rates, and the overall level of prices.

The focus of this book is on developing simple theoretical models that provide insight into the reasons for fluctuations in such aggregate variables. The models included explore how shocks or 'impulses' to the economy...

There is an ever-increasing interest in the question of how and why legal norms can effectively guide human action. This compact volume demonstrates how economic tools can be used to examine this question and scrutinize these legal norms. Indeed, this is one of the first text to be based on civil law instead of the more usual common law, situating the study of both private and public law within the framework of institutional economics, with recommendations for further reading and a list of key terms in each chapter.

Besides the standard economic problems in property, tort,...

Featuring case studies and real world examples from Asia, Africa and Latin America, as well as the 'transition' economies of Eastern Europe, this book explores finance and developing countries, and the impact these have on poverty and globalization.

This book provides an essential toolkit for all students wishing to know more about the modelling and analysis of financial data. Applications of econometric techniques are becoming increasingly common in the world of finance and this second edition of an established text covers the following key themes:

- unit roots, cointegration and other developments in the study of time series models

- time varying volatility models of the GARCH type and the stochastic volatility approach

- analysis of shock persistence and impulse responses
