Brownian Motion Calculus

Editura: John Wiley and Sons Ltd

Anul aparitiei: 2008

BROWNIAN MOTION CALCULUS Brownian Motion Calculus presents the basics of Stochastic Calculus with a focus on the valuation of financial derivatives. It is intended as an accessible introduction to the technical literature. The sequence of chapters starts with a description of Brownian motion, the random process which serves as the basic driver of the irregular behaviour of financial quantities. That exposition is based on the easily understood discrete random walk. Thereafter the gains from trading in a random environment are formulated in a discrete-time setting. The continuous-time equivalent requires a new concept, the Itō stochastic integral. Its construction is explained step by step, using the so-called norm of a random process (its magnitude), of which a motivated exposition is given in an Annex. The next topic is Itō's formula for evaluating stochastic integrals; it is the random process counter part of the well known Taylor formula for functions in ordinary calculus. Many examples are given. These ingredients are then used to formulate some well established models for the evolution of stock prices and interest rates, so-called stochastic differential equations, ...

Leadership U Accelerating Through the Crisis Curve

Editura: John Wiley & Sons Inc

Anul aparitiei: 2020

Accelerating Through the Crisis Curve Leadership is all about others--inspiring them to believe, then enabling that belief to become reality. That's the essence of Leadership U: it starts with 'U' but it's not about 'U.' Those timeless words are timelier than ever today, as leaders look to accelerate through the crisis curve. As author Gary Burnison observes, "There will likely be more change in the next two years than we have seen in the last twenty." Now, in Leadership U: Accelerating Through the Crisis Curve, Burnison lays out a framework--his "Six Degrees of Leadership"--to show leaders how to create change. Anticipate - foreseeing what lies ahead, amid ambiguity and uncertainty that are throttled up like never before Navigate - course-correcting in real time, to keep the organization on an even keel Communication - constantly connecting with others; the leader is both the messenger and the message Listen - breaking down the organizational hierarchy to gather insights at all levels--especially what the leader doesn't want to hear Learn - applying learning agility, to "know what to do when you don't know what to do" Lead - empowering others in a bottom-up culture that is more ...
