For instance, financial  markets now trade twenty-four hours a day and securities are  increasingly being traded via real-time computer-based systems in  contrast to trading floor-based systems. Equally important, new  security forms and pricing models are coming into existence in  response to changes in domestic and international regulatory action.  Accounting and risk management systems now enable financial and  investment firms to manage risk more efficiently while meeting  regulatory concerns. \u003cbr\u003e  The challenge for academics and practitioners alike is how to keep  themselves, and others, current with these changing markets, as well  as the technology and current investment and risk management tools.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eApplications in Finance, Investments, and Banking\u003c\/em\u003e offers  presentations by twelve leading investment professionals and academics  on a wide range of finance, investment and banking issues. Chapters  include analysis of the basic foundations of financial analysis, as  well as current approaches to managing risk. Presentations also  include reviews of the means of measuring the volatility of the  underlying return process and how investment performance measurement  can be used to better understand the benefits of active management.  Finally, articles also present advances in the pricing of the new  financial assets (e.g., swaps), as well as the understanding of the  factors (e.g., earnings estimates) affecting pricing of the  traditional assets (e.g., stocks). \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eApplications in Finance, Investments, and Banking\u003c\/em\u003e provides  beneficial information to the understanding of both traditional and  modern approaches of financial and investment management.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 December 1998\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer US\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792382942\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e335\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51535043723404,"sku":"9780792382942","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792382942.jpg?v=1784762601","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792382942","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
