"This book, Measuring Market Risk with Value at Risk by Vipul Bansal and Pietro Penza, has three advantages over earlier works on the subject. First, it takes a decidedly global approach–an essential ingredient for any comprehensive work on market risk. Second, it ties the scientifically grounded, yet intuitively appealing, VaR measure to earlier, more idiosyncratic measures of market risk that are used in specific market environs (e.g., duration in fixed income). Finally, it encompasses all of the accepted approaches to calculating a VaR measure and presents them in a clearly explained fashion with supporting illustrations and completely worked-out examples." –from the Foreword by John F. Marshall, PhD, Principal, Marshall, Tucker & Associates, LLC "Measuring Market Risk with Value at Risk offers a much-needed intellectual bridge, a translation from the esoteric realm of mathematical finance to the domain of financial managers who seek guidance in applying developments from this important field of research as well as that of MBA-level graduate instruction. I believe the authors have done a commendable job of providing a carefully crafted, highly readable, and most useful work, and intend to recommend it to all those involved in business risk management applications." –Anthony F. Herbst, PhD, Professor of Finance and C.R. and D.S. Carter Chair, The University of Texas, El Paso and Founding editor of The Journal of Financial Engineering (1991—1998) "Finally there’s a book that strikes a balance between rigor and application in the area of risk management in the banking industry. This innovative book is a MUST for both novices and professionals alike." –Robert P. Yuyuenyongwatana, PhD, Associate Professor of Finance, Cameron University "Measuring Market Risk with Value at Risk is one of the most complete discussions of this emerging topic in finance that I have seen. The authors develop a logical and rigorous framework for using VaR models, providing both historical references and analytical applications." –Kevin Wynne, PhD, Associate Professor of Finance, Lubin School of Business, Pace University

Futures markets frequently hinge upon the expectations of traders and the ability of people operating within them to make maximum use of all available information. The rational expectations hypothesis has emerged as the most powerful analytical tool for examining the formation and consequences of expectations in economic activity. It therefore has a particular bearing on the study of futures markets. Rational Expectations and Efficiency in Futures Markets compares and contrasts rational expectations with the efficient market hypothesis. While some economists have been unable to draw any meaningful distinction between the two approaches, most have agreed that they should be considered separately. Since both are concerned with exploiting information to the fullest capacity, they both face similar problems. A team of international economists contribute original and specially commissioned chapters which answer these issues. A wide range of financial and commodity markets, including currencies, interest rates, livestock, grains and wool, are analyzed in an attempt to discover whether traders in futures markets use all relevant information and whether this is reflected in prices.

This guide presents a simple strategy for futures investment centering upon the growth rate of the money supply. The book downplays such traditional indicators as employment rates, trade deficits, the value of the dollar, and durable goods orders. Instead, the futures investor is urged to monitor Federal Reserve monetary policy, as this determines the growth of the money aggregates, thereby formulating an estimate of the status of the business cycle. While it cannot guarantee a profit on every investment, the book does provide an understanding of the real determinants of economic conditions and suggests a common sense approach to investing that will be rewarding over the long term.

Increasing financial sophistication and the recent acceleration in the pace of financial innovation has led to a dramatic growth in the economic significance of futures markets. In particular, the volume of trade in financial futures has mushroomed over the period of the last decade, and in the case of stock index futures now rivals that of trade in the stocks themselves. Given the greater prominence of these markets, it is important for both students and academics to be aware of recent advances in the theoretical understanding of their function and performance. This volume examines a wide range of issues which arise in the theory of futures markets. An introductory chapter analyzes a simple equilibrium model of a futures market and focuses upon the role of the market in spreading risk and disseminating information. The determinants of hedging activity and the interaction between storage and futures trading are considered. Other chapters examine such issues as: conditions under which trading in futures markets leads to a fully efficient reallocation of risk; the effect of trading futures on price volatility in the spot market; can one generally expect that opening a futures market will lead to greater stability in the spot market?; the extent to which the futures price reveals traders' private information; determinants of hedging and speculative trading decisions; the relationship between forward prices and futures prices; factors influencing the likelihood of a manipulation of the market ie a corner or squeeze; the role of different assumptions about expectations formation on the nature of equilibrium; and the importance of programme trading and dynamic hedging strategies on price volatility in equity markets.
