AI for Finance

Finance students and practitioners may ask: can machines learn everything? Could AI help me? Computing students or practitioners may ask: which of my skills could contribute to finance? Where in finance should I pay attention? This book aims to answer these questions. No prior knowledge is expected in AI or finance. Including original research the book explains the impact of ignoring computation in classical economics; examines the relationship between computing and finance and points out potential misunderstandings between economists and computer scientists; and introduces Directional Change and explains how this can be used. To finance students and practitioners this book will explain the promise of AI as well as its limitations. It will cover knowledge representation modelling simulation and machine learning explaining the principles of how they work. To computing students and practitioners this book will introduce the financial applications in which AI has made an impact. This includes algorithmic trading forecasting risk analysis portfolio optimization and other less well-known areas in finance.

Mathematical Modeling with Excel

This text presents a wide variety of common types of models found in other mathematical modeling texts as well as some new types. However the models are presented in a very unique format. A typical section begins with a general description of the scenario being modeled. The model is then built using the appropriate mathematical tools. Then it is implemented and analyzed in Excel via step-by-step instructions. In the exercises we ask students to modify or refine the existing model analyze it further or adapt it to similar scenarios. | Mathematical Modeling with Excel

The Economics of International Trade and the Environment

Issues related to environmental protection and trade liberalization have moved to the forefront of international policy agendas. The Economics of International Trade and the Environment explores - from an economic standpoint - many of the questions that are germane in increasing our knowledge of environmental policy in the presence of international trade and trade policy in the presence of environmental externalities. Ultimately we must ask What can economic theory tell us about the connections between environmental and trade policy? This book uses the tools of game and microeconomic theory to analyze diverse issues such as: the effects of international trade in waste products on illegal disposal the nature of environmental policy when market structure and plant locations are endogenous and the issue of ecological dumping. The authors apply economic theory to practical settings to ascertain the extent to which this theory can inform policy decisions about problems at the interface of international trade and the environment. Edited by well-known researchers and authors this is the only resource that can serve as an effective guide to the theoretical and empirical literature on international trade and the environment. The Economics of International Trade and the Environment provides comprehensive coverage on a wide variety of topics and contains the most recent contributions in this area and is suitable as a graduate course in Economics and International Trade

Remediation Manual for Contaminated Sites

To ask the right question one needs to have some idea of what the answer might be. So it is with remediation. There is no such thing as too much information when it comes to characterizing a site as information can aid in selecting the best remediation options. Unfortunately the collection of data for making an informed decision is often costly forcing professionals to make decisions on incomplete data. The lack of accurate data can also lead to the wrong remediation method selections unwanted surprises and extra expense. Based on the author’s more than 40 years of experience working on environmental projects Remediation Manual for Contaminated Sites provides a practical guide to environmental remediation and cleanups. It presents a broad overview of the environmental remediation process distilled into what one needs to know to evaluate a specific challenge or solve a remediation problem. The text offers guidance on tasks that range from managing consultants and contractors to gathering data selecting a suitable remediation technology and calculating remediation costs. The book includes remediation strategies for a variety of contaminants and examines a wide range of technologies for the remediation of water and soil including excavation wells drainage soil venting vapor stripping incineration bioremediation containment solidification vitrification and phytoremediation. Written as a down-to-earth reference for professionals faced with the challenges of remediating a contaminated site this book is also useful as a primer for students and those new to the field.
