Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011 the World Bank—with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation—launched the Global Findex database, the world's most comprehensive data set on how adults save, borrow, make payments, and manage risk. Drawing on survey data collected in collaboration with Gallup, Inc., the Global Findex database covers more than 140 economies around the world. The initial survey round was followed by a second one in 2014 and by a third in 2017. Compiled using nationally representative surveys of more than 150,000 adults age 15 and above in over 140 economies, The Global Findex Database 2017: Measuring Financial Inclusion and the Fintech Revolution includes updated indicators on access to and use of formal and informal financial services. It has additional data on the use of financial technology (or fintech), including the use of mobile phones and the Internet to conduct financial transactions. The data reveal opportunities to expand access to financial services among people who do not have an account—the unbanked—as well as to promote greater use of digital financial services among those who do have an account. The Global Findex database has become a mainstay of global efforts to promote financial inclusion. In addition to being widely cited by scholars and development practitioners, Global Findex data are used to track progress toward the World Bank goal of Universal Financial Access by 2020 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The database, the full text of the report, and the underlying country-level data for all figures—along with the questionnaire, the survey methodology, and other relevant materials—are available at www.worldbank.org/globalfindex.

Download or read book Statistics and Data Analysis for Financial Engineering written by David Ruppert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of this influential textbook, geared towards graduate or advanced undergraduate students, teaches the statistics necessary for financial engineering. In doing so, it illustrates concepts using financial markets and economic data, R Labs with real-data exercises, and graphical and analytic methods for modeling and diagnosing modeling errors. These methods are critical because financial engineers now have access to enormous quantities of data. To make use of this data, the powerful methods in this book for working with quantitative information, particularly about volatility and risks, are essential. Strengths of this fully-revised edition include major additions to the R code and the advanced topics covered. Individual chapters cover, among other topics, multivariate distributions, copulas, Bayesian computations, risk management, and cointegration. Suggested prerequisites are basic knowledge of statistics and probability, matrices and linear algebra, and calculus. There is an appendix on probability, statistics and linear algebra. Practicing financial engineers will also find this book of interest.
Download or read book Understanding Financial Statements written by David Murphy and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial accounting is history. It is a thing of the past but rather it is a specialized and very technical branch of history. Historians may write about events that took place thousands of years ago, or last month. Financial accountants record and report histories of what happened in the recent past, usually the past year. However, the time frame doesn't matter, financial accountants write about history. As historians, financial accountants face the same philosophical questions that historians in general face every day. Given massive amounts of information about an historical event, what is relevant and will be both interesting and useful to readers of the history? Once the volume of information about an event has been whittled down to a manageable size, how should the information be presented so that it is understandable and relevant? Financial accountants face the same questions every day. It has often been said that those who don't understand the past are destined to repeat it. We all acknowledge that understanding history is important and that a well-written history can be both engaging and fascinating. History serves important purposes besides entertainment. It explains what happened in the past and why it happened. In addition, once we understand the historical milieu surrounding an event, we can forecast what is likely to occur in the future if we see the same pattern of events and forces coming to play in the present. Financial accounting reports serve that same purposes, they explain what happened in the past, and they can be used to forecast the future. In addition, financial accountants have the same general objectives, to write a history that is both understandable and relevant. Most historians use words to spin their stories about the past. Financial accountants use numbers. Once you learn how to listen to them, numbers tell stories just as well as do words. You don't need a degree in history to read, understand, and learn from a well-written history. By the same token you don't need a degree in accounting to read and understand financial statements (balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flow statement). You just need to learn the language that the numbers speak. The purpose of this book is to provide you with the background and skills that you need as a non-financial manager so that financial statements will talk to you. You will discover that the language that financial statements speak is easy to understand and that the stories that financial statements tell are both fascinating and useful.
