2. Survival of the Fittest for Investors: Using Darwins Laws of Evolution to Build a Winning Portfolio
Description
The science behind creating portfolios that adapt to market changes
After ten years of poor stock market returns and yet great bond and gold returns, there is a real thirst for an all-weather portfolio in a high-risk period. Dick Stoken builds that diversified portfolio and also introduces some timing methods to improve returns and lower risks. This is a very timely and useful book.

Yale Hirsch, founder, Stock Traders Almanac
About the Book:
Just as the animal kingdom is composed of many species, todays financial systems are composed of a multitude of independent participants, all over the globe, all influencing the whole. Survival of the Fittest for Investors breaks down the science behind the behavior of these market participants to present a definitive system for building profitable portfolios based on the concept of natural selection.
This advanced guide to the cutting-edge science of complex adaptive systems in financial markets tells you where to find and how to track the evolutionary instability underlying these markets. It shows how, with heightened insight and a powerful algorithm, you can survive and thrive in volatile markets by following the simple principles of evolution.
Award-winning and critically acclaimed author Dick Stoken punches holes in the outdated, Newtonian cause-and-effect paradigm and helps you see financial markets from a Darwinian perspective, where they function as complex systems that have the ability to adapt. By using his state-of-the-art algorithm, Stoken demonstrates how you can use agent-based modeling to assess the actual way markets behave in order to maximize the upside of your asset allocation.
Stoken shows that variation is the key to profitability by using three real-world portfolios, each balancing four major asset classes going back thirty-nine years. Each portfolio clearly demonstrates how to reap consistently impressive profits with lower-than-market riskregardless of your investment style.
Whether you take conservative, traditional, or leveraged positions, this book helps you create portfolios of equities, debt, gold, and real estate that have proven to beat the S&P 500 by up to 22.5 percent!
After opening your eyes to the science of complex adaptive systems and the vitality of punctuated equilibrium, Survival of the Fittest for Investors helps you implement the know-how into nuts-and-bolts results by equipping you with such practical tools as:
- A 1-year/6-month algorithm for accurately simulating evolutionary fluctuations in markets
- A cutting-edge allocation strategy that takes advantage of our natural herding instinct
- Tips for recognizing and enduring bubbles
Without Survival of the Fittest for Investors, the evolution of investing may leave your wealth behind.
3. Economic Modelling at the Bank of England (Foundations of Computer Science)
Description
J. S. FLEMMING The Bank of England's role as a leading central bank involves both formal and informal aspects. At a formal level it is an adviser to HM Government, whilst at an informal level it is consulted by domestic and overseas institutions for advice on many areas of economic interest. Such advice must be grounded in an understanding of the workings of the domestic and international economy-a task which becomes ever more difficult with the pace of change both in the economy and in the techniques which are used by professional economists to analyse such changes. The Bank's economists are encouraged to publish their research whenever circumstances permit, whether in refereed journals or in other ways. In particular, we make it a rule that the research underlying the Bank's macroeconometric model, to which outside researchers have access through the ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council) macromodelling bureau, should be adequately explained and documented in published form. This volume expands the commitment to make research which is undertaken within the Economics Division of the Bank of England widely available. Included here are chapters which illustrate the breadth of interests which the Bank seeks to cover. Some of the research is, as would be expected, directly related to the specification of the Bank's model, but other aspects are also well represented.4. Earnings Forecast Modeling. A Systematic Approach
Description
Equity analysts' earnings forecasts, collected by the Institutional Brokers' Estimate Service (IBES), Zacks and other news providers, serve as a central input in financial research. For example, Claus & Thomas (2001) use earnings forecasts to estimate the equity risk premium. The equity risk premium, defined as the excess of the expected return on the market over the risk-free rate, is most commonly estimated via historical averages of ex post realized returns due to the unobservable character of the return expectations. However, in a new approach, they estimate the expected return of a security as the internal rate of return, which equates the stock price to the present value of expected future cash flows. Using analysts' forecasts as a proxy for expected future cash flows, Claus & Thomas (2001) present that this forward-looking approach is a much better approximation. Courteau et al. (2001), among others, use analysts' estimates to analyze models of the fair value of companies. In particular, they investigate whether discounted cash flow (DCF) and residual income models (RIM) are equivalent, as predicted by Penman's (1997) theory of "ideal" terminal value expressions. They find empirical evidence that there in fact prevails an equivalence of DCF and RIM models for finite horizons under ideal conditions. Furthermore, Clement & Tse (2003) use earnings forecasts to analyze whether investors efficiently process information about analysts' characteristics in order to evaluate the expected accuracy of an equity analyst. The authors find evidence that investors fail to extract such information related to accuracy and that they rather rely on more direct observable aspects like the size of the broker firm which employs the analyst.5. Family, Household And Work (Population Economics)
Description
During the last decades the appearance of a family has changed substantially. Not long ago a typical family consisted of an employed man and a home-managing woman living together for their whole life times, and having one or more children, which primarily were raised by the wife.Today differing living models are much more common than before. House husbands, late motherhood, and a delayed work entry of the children are some of the related phenomena, which at the same time are reasons for and consequences of the changed view on the favorite family. Not surprisingly, this change has provoked much scientific interest. In this book we present a collection of recent economic research work on the resources management and development of families and households respectively. Assorting three general topics, we focus on the time allocation within the household, the family structure and development, and the transition to work of young adults.
6. Corporate Governance and Contingency Theory: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach and Accounting Risk Implications (Contributions to Management Science)
Description
This book analyzes the determinants and effectiveness of corporate governance in an integrated model drawing on contingency theory and employing structural equation modeling (SEM). Business competition as an environmental factor and strategy as an organizational factor are important determinants of corporate governance, while organizational performance and earnings quality are two dimensions of its effectiveness. This book focuses on the relationship between corporate governance and earnings management, and shows that corporate governance is effective in improving earnings quality and reducing accounting and governance risks. The authors also question the relation between corporate governance and company performance and present results of their analysis in this book.
