Koval E: INVEST BEFORE YOU'RE READY

INVEST BEFORE YOU'RE READY

Preya Bhattacharya offers the first full-length assessment of the impact of microfinance on post-conflict women's empowerment in the Balkans. In so doing, she provides vital new insights into what women's microfinance contributes to macroeconomic development in the former Yugoslavian countries of Macedonia, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kosovo. At the same time, she develops a uniquely clear, concise approach to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), which she uses to make sense of an extensive, exhaustive raw set of available data and research. This methodology not only offers a way of using both micro and macroeconomic data to revisit Amartya Sen's theory of development as freedom, but also provides a framework for other researchers to assess the impacts of microfinance on women's development throughout the world, and particularly in the Global South. For its original focus, its clear and streamlined methodological approach, and its global implications, this book provides a go-to source for researchers, students, and practitioners of international development, gender studies, and economics and finance.

A Qualitative Comparative Analysis

Microfinance and Post-conflict Women's Empowerment in the Balkans

Advances in Japanese Business and Economics

This book is the first comprehensive account of the rules and practices─the microstructure─of the Dojima Security Exchange (DSE), the world’s first futures market. Despite worldwide interest in the DSE and its relevance to modern financial markets, it is only briefly touched upon as the earliest example of a futures market in most of the existing literature in English.&nbsp; Until the publication of this book, there has been no comprehensive account in English of the rules and practices of the DSE.The DSE emerged in Osaka, Japan, around the turn of the eighteenth century. In Tokugawa Japan (1603–1867), the shogunate and local lords levied taxes in rice and exchanged rice for currency in rice markets to finance their expenditures. Osaka had the biggest rice market in Japan throughout the Tokugawa period, and most local lords stored rice in their own warehouses in Osaka, selling rice at auctions. Successful bidders received&nbsp;“rice certificates”&nbsp;instead of rice itself, and each rice certificate could be exchanged for a pre-specified quantity of rice any time before its expiration at the issuer’s warehouse. These certificates were actively traded in the DSE.The spot market in the DSE was the market for exchanging rice certificates. In turn, the futures market was the market for the trading of nominal rice derived from one of the representative rice certificates among about 30 brands. There is no physical delivery of rice in the spot market and there is no physical delivery of rice or rice certificate in the futures market—even on the maturity date. All the futures trades at the DSE should be settled by simply paying or receiving the payoﬀ&nbsp;defined as the diﬀerence in price between the time of selling (buying) and buying back (selling back). The futures trade was called&nbsp;‘Cho-Ai-Mai’, which literally means&nbsp;‘the rice trades on the book’, and implies that there is no physical delivery of rice or rice certificate.

The Dojima Security Exchange from 1730 to 1869

Microstructure of the First Organized Futures Market

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

How Economists Use Natural Experiments to Decipher Our World

Daughters, Diplomats, and Death

Part life philosophy, part financial clarity, and part real-world wisdom from a hugely popular estate planning attorney who has seen what happens when families plan and when they don't. I'm Sorry I'm Dead helps readers confront the reality of life's end, not in a morbid way, but in a deeply empowering one. Estate planning attorney, entrepreneur, and best-selling author Pamela Maass Garrett aka Law Mother has helped thousands of families navigate what happens when someone dies. She has seen firsthand that the biggest problems families face are rarely legal: they are emotional, relational, and the result of decisions never made . . . siblings that stop speaking over a dispute about their parent's home, a grieving widow locked out of bank accounts because she didn't know how to get access, and families forced to guess about critical medical decisions. All of these problems can be easily avoided. In this book, Garrett introduces a powerful mindset shift: when you face the end of life honestly, you begin living more intentionally today. Through compelling stories from real families, practical financial insights, and simple decision-making frameworks, readers learn how to take control of their lives before circumstances take control of them. The book guides readers through the most important life decisions most people avoid: · how to organize finances and build real wealth · how to protect loved ones legally and emotionally · how to make difficult family decisions before crisis strikes · how to prevent conflict, confusion, and regret after death · how to create a legacy that strengthens future generations rather than unintentionally burdening them with a huge tax bill · what you really can and can't do Rather than overwhelming readers with technical legal details, I'm Sorry I'm Dead offers a clear philosophy and practical tools for making the decisions that matter most. The result is a life lived with greater clarity, stronger relationships, and the peace of knowing the people you love will be protected. This book is for anyone who wants to stop drifting through life and start deciding it.

Estate Planning for Peace of Mind, Protection and a Life Well Lived

I’m Sorry I’m Dead

This popular textbook offers a broad and accessible introduction to the building blocks of modern finance: financial markets, institutions and instruments. Theory is blended with real-world data, cases and numerical worked examples to offer a broad and accessible introduction to the building blocks of modern finance in the 5th edition of Finance and Financial Markets. The book features assessment and self-test resources to help support students and lecturers, as well as extensive discussion of regulatory developments, case studies involving FinTech and Brexit and fully updated data. An updated companion website is also available which offers lecturer slides and multiple choice questions. This new edition has updated data and cases throughout, ensuring that it is as up-to-date as possible in this fast-moving area. New material has been introduced relating to environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, emerging markets and sustainable finance. The opening five chapters provide an introduction to the world of finance and cover the basic theory relating to the operation of financial institutions and the domestic and offshore (Eurocurrency) money markets. Chapters 6 to 10 deal with both the theory and practice relating to capital markets. The theory covers areas such as portfolio diversification, the capital asset pricing model, the Gordon growth model and the efficient market hypothesis, while the practice looks at the domestic and international bond markets and equity markets. After an examination of the foreign exchange market and forward markets, the final chapters of this comprehensive textbook cover derivative instruments, financial innovations and, as a closing reflection, financial regulation. Finance and Financial Markets is ideally suited to students at all levels who take economics, business and finance courses, as well as for those who want to understand the workings of the modern financial world.

Finance and Financial Markets

A deep dive into how our precious health data is slipping away and the paths to reclaiming it. Through wearables, consumer DNA tests, and even just the phones in our pockets, a vast and growing quantity of health data is collected every day. While this can be helpful for health agencies to improve public health and to us to perform better at sports, it all comes at a cost. In a world of increased surveillance, tech companies and cybercriminals have the ability to acquire our most precious data and put profit above all else. This risks not only our privacy, but perhaps even democracy itself. Tech journalist Matt Evans shows us why our precious health data is slipping away, how the data is used, and how we might reap the benefits without paying such huge costs. Featuring exclusive interviews with tech CEOs, lawyers and even reformed hackers, this is a deep-dive into the value of our health data and a manifesto for a new age of personal autonomy.

Financial Relief After Foreign Divorce

'Excellent' Aaron Bastani 'Provocative ... An entertaining, sweeping read' Financial Times Every leader comes to power promising growth: think back to the campaigns of Boris, Truss, Sunak, Starmer, Trump. Yet real-term income hasn't improved in the UK since 2008. Across the West, growth has stagnated for well over a decade, leading to cost of living crises, political instability and rising social tensions. Is real economic growth still possible? And with the climate emergency accelerating beyond repair, should we still be pushing for it? In Icarus Economics, acclaimed economist John Rapley argues that the problem of growth is inherently tied up with the climate crisis. We often assume that poor countries will bear the brunt of climate change, pandemics, and other exogenous shocks, but this book argues the opposite: western societies have more wealth and capital to lose and are less inherently resilient. In this book, he shows us how rich countries can grow their own economies by helping poor countries to decarbonise - and in the process, mitigate the effects of climate change.
