Samarakoon K: PYTHON FOR FINANCE: FROM
FUNDAMENTALS TO ADVANCED MODELLING

PYTHON FOR FINANCE: FROM FUNDAMENTALS TO ADVANCED MODELLING

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.

Identify strategic bottlenecks that concentrate wealth and learn to invest in them&nbsp; Choke Points: Investing in the Origins of Wealth, by Barron's Hall of Fame advisor Dryden Pence, reveals how great fortunes arise from controlling strategic bottlenecks where economic activity must flow. Drawing on three decades managing institutional capital and a decorated military intelligence career, Col. Pence translates elite investment philosophy into a narrative-driven framework that teaches ordinary investors to recognize pricing power before it becomes obvious.&nbsp; Built around the registered PENCE Choke Point framework, the book uses case studies spanning Rockefeller's railroad rebates, Apple's App Store, NVIDIA's AI infrastructure grip, and a four-company jet engine oligopoly to reveal how structural advantages create durable wealth. Readers learn to&nbsp;identify&nbsp;persistent margins, limited alternatives, controlled access, and unwavering demand, the characteristics that separate companies worth owning from the rest.&nbsp; Readers will also find:&nbsp; <ul> <li>A tested method for recognizing where money concentrates, drawn from institutional investment strategies rarely made accessible to individual investors&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Real-world stories showing how founders from Standard Oil to pharmaceutical dynasties identified and controlled strategic commercial bottlenecks&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>A framework for distinguishing companies with durable pricing power from those lacking structural advantages in their markets&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Pattern recognition techniques adapted from military intelligence analysis, applied to reading the economic landscape for constraint and opportunity&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Guidance&nbsp;on&nbsp;participating&nbsp;in choke point economics through equity ownership without needing to build or manage businesses yourself&nbsp;</li> </ul> Choke Points&nbsp;is written for retail investors, high earners not yet rich, registered investment advisors, and financial advisors seeking a structural framework for wealth-building. It serves anyone who has followed conventional advice and wants a tested lens for&nbsp;identifying&nbsp;where real pricing power&nbsp;resides.&nbsp;
