Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -A swaption is a sort of fixed-income derivatives in finance, which are widely traded in financial markets. Thus, swaption pricing is a hot topic in financial mathematics. In this thesis, we will analyze swaptions whose short term interest rates are assumed to follow some affine models with dimension of factors more than two, so called multiple-factor interest rate models. Considering there is no analytical solution for such a swaption price , we attempt to approximate it, and our discussion will focus on one of these approximation method proposed by Collin-Dufresne and Goldstein. We will discuss the situations where the underlying interest rate models are Gaussian and CIR2++ respectively and develop this method by providing an accurate measure of approximation errors. Besides, other swaption pricing methods in literatures that provide different insights into swaption other than CDG approximation are discussed, as well as analytical solutions under one-factor interest rate models if exist. 84 pp. Englisch.…

The relationship between customers and organizations has become a very popular topic recently. However the existing literature doesn t include anything related to the upcoming phenomenon social network sites . There is not much research about the effects and value of these social networks in the whole CRM process. This study will try to close the gap or make start for further research. Through an online survey, there will be tested what effects positive word of mouth through social media has on the variables of relationship management and whether this effect has any further positive influences. 64 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The Australian oil and gas industry is highly important to the Australian economy. In this book author investigates the effects of weather, climate change, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on the market value of the Australian oil and gas industry, arising from an interdependent relationship between climate change and the hydrocarbon-producing oil and gas industry. The analysis is undertaken in the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and Kyoto Protocol GHG mitigation policies. The investigations are undertaken at both the industry (oil and gas) and firm (refining) levels using the most important asset pricing models and the application of advanced time series regression techniques. The findings confirm that investors consider weather, climate change and carbon dioxide information in their investment decisions. This book contributes to the emerging field of environmental finance. 444 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The toxicity, repellency and fumigant activity of three essential oils were evaluated against the Periplaneta americana (L.) under laboratory conditions. The essential oil of C. citratus exhibited complete repellency (up to 100%) against P. americana using different concentration (4, 5, 6 and 7%) after 24 hours. LC50 value for C. citratus is 8.013, 7.050, 4.897 and 3.391 at 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours. Fumigant activity ranging from 70-100% was observed using C.citratus under laboratory conditions against P. americana. Satisfactory toxicity 10-100% was found using Mentha arvensis at different concentrations between different time interval (2-24 hours). In case of M.arvensis LC50 value for contact toxicity is 8.122, 8.013, 6.004 and 4.640 after 2,4, 6 and 24 hours. Fumigation value ranges from 50-80% was seen in case of M.arvensis at different concentrations. Least toxicity, repellency and fumigant activity was observed in case of Eucalyptus citrodora. %age mortality from 0-80% was achieved between 2-24hours at different concentrations. LC50 value is 8.268, 10.292, 7.050 and 4.814 after 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours. 40-60% fumigant activity was observed after 24 hours at different concentrations. 84 pp. Englisch.…

It s not just an economic relationship, but also an emotional bonding which ensures timely transfer of goods across the length and breadth of country. In India, the transport sector comprises of large percentage of population who owns and operates transport business for their daily sustenance at very less operating profit. Indian markets are highly dependent on the services provided by the small and medium transporters.

Government of India, in its advocacy of foreign direct investment in retail sector, stressed that foreign investors will heavily invest in modernization of transport sector in order to facilitate trade. However the realities are strikingly different and if FDI in retail is permitted, it will lead to loss of livelihood of millions. 84 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Bangladesh is one of the richest countries of the world considering the availability of fisheries resources but annual fish production is still less than the demand of country people. Bangladesh earns second highest foreign currency from fisheries sector by exporting fisheries products. Fisheries are playing an important role in the development of Bangladesh and through better management this contribution can be increased much. Huge employment opportunities have been developed based of fisheries in Bangladesh. Food security must be established in Bangladesh by scientific using of all types of resources. We need to use our resources more efficiently in an eco-friendly way so that enough production can be obtained to meet up the country demand. The multiple use of water from ponds needs to be well understood in order that it can be optimally used to produce farm products and meet domestic needs. Fish farming is a profitable and attractive commercial enterprise.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This document analyses whether the policy maker behaves differently under various monetary policy regimes which is reflected by a change in the coefficient of the Taylor rule. The estimated value of the coefficients, given the chosen monetary targets, will also help us characterise whether the Bank of England was more or less active according to the Taylor rule framework. In addition, attempt will be made to explain whether the empirical results are expected or not, according to the observed monetary regime. Moreover, this analysis compares the results of the different estimation techniques used to identify the sensitivity of the central bank on inflation and output gap and lastly we discuss the relative appropriateness of each technique given their underlying assumptions. 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As a business research, this dissertation is aimed at investigating the mechanism of word of mouth (WOM) which is regarded as an important social medium impacting consumer behavior and marketing management. This book primarily explains the concept of word of mouth marketing and then statistically explores the mechanism of word of mouth within the chosen industrial context by surveying Iranian customers. Finally, the findings of this study suggest some managerial implications and points which are elaborated in the report. Surprisingly, this research reveals that, ordinary advertisement and TV commercials fail to affect customers in this industry and thus, people seek more reliable sources of information in which 'WOM' proves to be a significant way to affect the consumers behavior in the photo print industry market in Iran. Subsequently, friends were found to be the most trusted source together with price impacting shopping behavior significantly. The study also illustrates that quality of products and services is somewhat equally distributed and therefore, quality does not necessarily count as a 'WOM' factor. 88 pp. Englisch. …
