Each concept is discussed from the basics and supported by sufficient mathematical background and worked examples.

Suitable for individual or group learning, the book offers numerous end-of-chapter problems for study and review.

Improved understanding of the key role of financial aspects in the growth and development of economic systems is an important aspect of economic analysis. This first textbook on development finance provides a comprehensive coverage of this new area of economics. The book integrates relevant theoretical approaches and their policy applications. A unique perspective combines transaction cost economics and neoclassical economics. The author also treats important policy issues of national and international relevance.

This work systematically investigates a large number of oscillatory network configurations that are able to describe many real systems such as electric power grids, lasers or even the heart muscle, to name but a few. The book is conceived as an introduction to the field for graduate students in physics and applied mathematics as well as being a compendium for researchers from any field of application interested in quantitative models.

Die Behandlung von epilepsiekranken Frauen wahrend der Schwangerschaft ist eine haufige und wichtige Beratungssituation in der Neurologie und Gynakologie. Auch endokrine Storungen, verursacht durch die Erkrankung oder die Medikation, mussen therapeutisch berucksichtigt werden, z.B. bei Infertilitat. Eine therapeutisch schwierige Situation sind zyklusgebunden auftretende Anfalle, die der hormonellen Mitbehandlung bedurfen. Weitere Aspekte wie Schwangerschaftsverhutung, Menopause und ein kurzer Exkurs zu mannlichen Fertilitatsstorungen bei Epilepsie runden das Thema ab.

Das Lehrbuch beschreibt die Bewertung von sicheren und unsicheren Sach- und Finanzinvestitionen unter der Annahme von arbitragefreien und friktionslosen Finanzmarkten. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Investitionsbewertung nach dem Duplikationsprinzip. Auf letzterem Bewertungsprinzip basieren sowohl die klassische Kapitalwertformel fur Sachinvestitionen, die mittlerweile klassische Bewertungsformel von Black, Scholes und Merton fur Aktienoptionen als auch neuere Varianten fur Zins- und Kreditderivate. Alle wesentlichen Ergebnisse sind ubersichtlich in sogenannten Eigenschaften...

Mandelbrot is world famous for his creation of the new mathematics of fractal geometry. Yet few people know that his original field of applied research was in econometrics and financial models, applying ideas of scaling and self-similarity to arrays of data generated by financial analyses. This book brings together his original papers as well as many original chapters specifically written for this book.

The mechanisms of protest and revolution have been the subject of theoretical research for over a century, yet the lack of data has hindered the empirical validation of conflicting theories. In this book, the author presents a unique new set of sub-daily data from over thirty countries and seven civil wars and uses them to test two models of conflict, the predator-prey model and the competing species model. The dynamic nature of the data modelling and the novelty of the dataset make this work a unique contribution to the field of conflict research. Dynamics of Conflict will help to...
