U.S. Treasury futures and options are the world's largest fixed income markets. They enable investors and traders to trade, risk manage and invest in U.S. government notes or bonds for future delivery. The U.S. government bond market is the most liquid, secure and diverse among international government bond markets. The U.S. government uses the U.S. bond market to finance its maturing debt and expenditures, and with the expansion of U.S. borrowing, these markets have never been so large nor so closely watched around the world.Treasury Bond Futures and Options is the first standard reference handbook of its kind. It systematically reviews all of the varied elements of these crucial markets, providing practitioners and non-practitioners with a thorough description of the operations and potential of Treasury futures and options. The book presents readers with a full sense of how these gigantic markets function, including elements such as trading execution, risk management, delivery mechanism, market participants and regulatory treatment. It describes the key elements of market design, as well as walking through the trading and hedging opportunities that these markets provide. It is divided into three main sections. The first explains the background and current state of the cash and derivative Treasury markets. The second section focuses on risk management and trading using Treasury futures and options, while the third section looks at related products, key types of trader and governance.Treasury Bond Futures and Options is essential for every fixed income trader, regulator, financial investor, researcher and economist who looks at the U.S. Treasury market.

A Next Big Idea Club Must-Read 'Eye opening, deeply researched, and snort-out-your-nose funny. I dare you to put it down.' William Bernstein, author of The Four Pillars of Investing 'Refreshingly unequivocal advice.' Publishers Weekly In richly told stories and wild self experiments, historian and investor Joseph Moore tests history's best and worst financial advice to find what worked, what didn't, and why everyday people can still get ahead - including you. What if so-called timeless beliefs about money like 'invest for the long run', 'compound interest builds wealth' and 'property value always goes up' were shockingly new . . . and rarely true? From Benjamin Franklin to TikTok gurus, what 'everyone knows' about personal finance is constantly changing over time. In How to Get Rich the American Way, Joseph Moore shares the unexpected and counterintuitive lessons of the past so we can make the most of our own finances today. He explores financial folklore, forgotten bestsellers and self-help fads, as well as the real lives of everyday people whose fortunes rose or fell by following them. Along the way, Moore tests history's best and worst advice on his own finances, with hair-raising and hilarious results. His personal journey includes wild investments, get-rich-quick schemes and founding a cryptocurrency. By the end, to his own very great surprise, he has become a multi-millionaire. Filled with eye-opening insights you can apply yourself, How to Get Rich the American Way pushes back against sceptics who claim the American dream is out of reach. This is a thoughtful, practical, and surprisingly hopeful read that sheds new light on the prospects of getting by and getting ahead today.

The Tontine: A History

Toward a deeper understanding of minds, whether natural or artificial, and of how they are studied and built across AI, AGI, and cognitive science. Minds are functional entities that enable intelligent behavior. In On Minds, Paul Rosenbloom offers reflections and perspectives on the study of minds arising from a multi-decade career focused largely on cognitive architectures—hypotheses concerning the fixed structures and processes that yield a mind, whether natural or artificial. Cognitive architectures must be integrative in accommodating the full range of capabilities required of a mind. They must also be general, in applying across many, if not all, problems and domains. This breadth of investigation, across a sequence of three such architectures—XAPS, Soar, and Sigma—and over many years, has inspired a set of reflections on both cognitive architectures and three core disciplines within which such work occurs—artificial intelligence (AI), artificial general intelligence (AGI), and cognitive science. The book’s reflections are of three types. The first explores four concepts critical to understanding minds—architectures, symbols, intelligence, and theories—to provide new perspectives and insights on them. The second rethinks the structure of the space of technologies that underlies work on minds, yielding multidimensional maps that clarify their similarities and differences plus detailed insights into the tradeoffs that exist across both individual technologies and integrated systems—whether symbolic, neural, or hybrid—built from them. The third traces the author’s decades of work on architectures—including cognitive architectures, the Common Model of Cognition, and the nature and structure of computing as a great scientific domain—interwoven with personal reflections and anecdotes.

Real Returns

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.

This will be the first book to definitively address all aspects of real estate investing, and it will be written by the country's leading experts. It will clearly explain the differences between active and passive investments, retail and high net worth options, and private and public markets. For that reason, current and potential investors of every stripe will find value in this book. It will be compiled and edited by David S. Rose and written by approximately 24 contributing experts.

Elements in Quantitative Finance

This Element explains the architecture of current climate scenarios and discusses whether it is well-suited to the needs of financial analysts and investment professionals. The author argues that prevailing models underrepresent the uncertainty surrounding climate outcomes. He shows that current scenarios architecture mechanically produces a negative climate risk premium, but that this result only obtains under very special circumstances. He quantifies the economic impact of a misspecification of the sign of the climate risk premium, finding that it is large. The current scenario architecture also unwarrantedly emphasizes transition risk over the potentially more severe physical risks, leading to a skewed picture of climate related financial exposure. The lack of probabilistic weighting in scenario design undermines their usefulness for asset valuation and risk assessment. The Element suggests how a new generation of climate scenarios for investors should be structured, emphasizing transparency, sensitivity analysis, and a more balanced representation of possible outcomes.
