In economic situations where action entails a fixed cost, inaction is the norm. Action is taken infrequently, and adjustments are large when they occur. Interest in economic models that exhibit "lumpy" behavior of this kind has exploded in recent years, spurred by growing evidence that it is typical in many important economic decisions, including price setting, investment, hiri...(展开全部)

This text provides information for those dealing with stochastic calculus and pricing in the models of financial markets operating under uncertainty. It introduces the reader to the main concepts, notions and results of stochastic financial mathematics, and develops applications of these results to various kinds of calculations required in financial engineering. It also answers...(展开全部)

Stochastic optimization problems arise in decision-making problems under uncertainty, and find various applications in economics and finance. On the other hand, problems in finance have recently led to new developments in the theory of stochastic control. This volume provides a systematic treatment of stochastic optimization problems applied to finance by presenting the differ...(展开全部)

McCloskey demonstrates how economic discourse employs metaphor, authority, symmetry, and other rhetorical means of persuasion. The Rhetoric of Economics shows economists to be human persuaders, poets of ...(展开全部)

This text progressively develops the mathematical tools students need to perform economic analysis and assumes the student has a knowledge of calculus and intermediate microeconomic skills. There is a careful integration of the mathematics with the presentation of economics, with emphasis on those techniques most widely used by economists. Examples clearly illustrate the crucia...(展开全部)
