Book excerpt: Around 700 bicycle fatalities happen every year, and the number has steadily increased since 2009. At the same time Seattle, Wash., and Portland, Ore., are promoting cycling as a healthy transportation mode, so bicycle safety has become a more urgent concern for the Pacific Northwest area. The Highway Safety Manual provides an evidence-based approach – safety performance function (SPFs) to evaluate safety for common traffic, but not, however, for bicycles. Therefore, a data-driven and evidence-based bicycle safety evaluation method is needed specifically for the Pacific Northwest region. Based on the first bicycle SPFs created by Krista Nordback in 2013, we used STRAVA bicycle count data (a type of crowdsourced bicycle travel data), other traffic count data, and bicycle crash data to establish Pacific Northwest SPFs in terms of bike count and crash frequency for road intersections. The SPFs demonstrated the relationship between crash frequency and traffic and bike volumes. The intersections with higher traffic volumes had higher bicycle crash frequencies. In addition, this project improved the usability of a GIS tool that had been created during a previous PacTrans project to estimate bicycle exposure. States DOTs and other agencies can use the SPFs to screen and identify previous bicycle black spots in the Pacific Northwest region in order to optimize safety investments.

Book excerpt: An accessible guide to the growing field of financial econometrics As finance and financial products have become more complex, financial econometrics has emerged as a fast-growing field and necessary foundation for anyone involved in quantitative finance. The techniques of financial econometrics facilitate the development and management of new financial instruments by providing models for pricing and risk assessment. In short, financial econometrics is an indispensable component to modern finance. The Basics of Financial Econometrics covers the commonly used techniques in the field without using unnecessary mathematical/statistical analysis. It focuses on foundational ideas and how they are applied. Topics covered include: regression models, factor analysis, volatility estimations, and time series techniques. Covers the basics of financial econometrics—an important topic in quantitative finance Contains several chapters on topics typically not covered even in basic books on econometrics such as model selection, model risk, and mitigating model risk Geared towards both practitioners and finance students who need to understand this dynamic discipline, but may not have advanced mathematical training, this book is a valuable resource on a topic of growing importance.
