Book excerpt: A model of futures contract innovation incorporates hedging with liquidity costs by imposing sequential and uncertain entry of hedgers with markets clearing after each entry. Hedgers have mean-variance preferences and rational expectations about their opportunities to trade upon future entry. It is shown that the optimal contract chosen by a volume-maximizing monopolistic exchange is one which perfectly correlates with the endowment differential of hedgers. Further, the exchange may choose not to offer closely correlated contracts when liquidity is sufficiently low. Next, a simple Lucas-type model of an infinitely-lived barter economy is generalized to allow for storability of goods with the goal of examining the time-series properties of prices. The model is solved numerically and fitted to futures time-series data using methods of moments. Its implications for other moments of interest are tested with the null hypothesis that if the model is correctly specified these additional moments should be close to those of the actual data. It is found that models where all goods are storable generally outperform a model where only one of the goods is storable. While the storage model can generate price series which display high levels of autocorrelation and a degree of conditional heteroskedasticity, overall the specified null hypothesis is rejected by the data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable, responsible financial innovation: lessons from the crisis, and new paths to global prosperity After the global financial crisis, responsible financial innovation is more crucial than ever. However, financial innovation will only succeed if it reflects the true lessons of the past decade. In this collection, three leading global finance researchers share those lessons, offering crucial insights for market participants, policymakers, and other stakeholders. Drawing on their pioneering work, they illuminate new opportunities for sustainable innovation in finance that can help restore housing markets and the overall global economy, while avoiding the failures of predecessors. In Financing the Future, Franklin Allen and Glenn Yago carefully discuss the current role of financial innovation in capitalizing businesses, industries, breakthrough technologies, housing solutions, medical treatments, and environmental projects. Allen and Yago explain how sophisticated capital structures can enable companies and individuals to raise funding in larger amounts for longer terms at lower cost, accomplishing tasks that would otherwise be impossible -- and offer a full chapter of essential lessons for using financial innovation to add value, manage risk, and improve the stability of the global economy. Next, in Fixing the Housing Market, Allen, Yago, and James R. Barth explain how responsible financial innovation can "reboot" damaged housing markets, improve their efficiency, and make housing more accessible to millions. The authors walk through the history of housing finance, evaluate housing finance systems in mature economies during and after the crisis, highlight benefits and risks associated with each leading mortgage funding structure and product, and assess current housing finance structures in BRIC economies. Building on these comparisons, they show how to create a more stable and sustainable financing system for housing: one that provides better shelter for more people, helps the industry recover, and creates thousands of new jobs. From world-renowned leaders and experts Franklin Allen, Glenn Yago, and James R. Barth

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial innovation can drive social, economic, and environmental change, transforming ideas into new technologies, industries, and jobs. But when it is misunderstood or mismanaged, the consequences can be severe. In this practical, accessible book, two leading experts explain how sophisticated capital structures can enable companies and individuals to raise funding in larger amounts for longer terms and at lower cost—accomplishing tasks that would otherwise be impossible. The authors recount the history and basic principles of financial innovation, showing how new instruments have evolved, and how they have been used and misused. They thoroughly demystify complex capital structures, offering a practical toolbox for entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and policymakers. Financing the Future presents clear, thorough discussions of the current role of financial innovation in capitalizing businesses, industries, breakthrough technologies, housing solutions, medical treatments, and environmental projects. It also presents a full chapter of lessons learned: essential insights for stabilizing the economy and avoiding pitfalls.

Download or read book The Principles of Alternative Investments Management written by Ewelina Sokołowska and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to present the principles of alternative investments in management. The individual chapters provide a detailed analysis of various classes of alternative investments on the financial market. Despite many different definitions of alternative investments, it can be assumed that a classical approach to alternative investments includes hedge funds, fund of funds (FOF), managed accounts, structured products and private equity/venture capital. Alternative investment in keeping with this broad definition is the subject of consideration here. The theoretical part of each chapter is meant to collect, systematize and deepen readers’ understanding of a given investment category, while the practical part of each focuses on an analysis of the current state of development of alternative investments on the global market and outlines the prospects of future market development. This book will be a valuable tool for scholars, practitioners and policy-makers alike.
Download or read book Optimal Futures Contract Design written by Elizabeth Tashjian and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designing successful futures contracts is no easy task. Most new contracts fail to attract a sustainable level of trading volume. A comparatively new approach to identifying the attributes of successful futures contracts comes from applying the emerging literature on security design to the futures problem. A second and more complicated issue is to determine the optimal contract form. This paper describes the characteristics of successful futures contracts implied by the design literature, and, where possible, relates these observations to empirical studies. The paper also describes how the design literature can be applied to reveal the link between the specific terms of successful futures contracts and characteristics of the cash market.
