Airline Finance

Airline Finance

Revised and updated in its fifth edition this internationally renowned and respected book provides the essentials to understanding all areas of airline finance. Designed to address each of the distinct areas of financial management in an air transport industry context it also shows how these fit together while each chapter and topic – for example aircraft leasing – provides a detailed resource that can also be consulted separately. Supported at each stage by practical airline examples and recent data Airline Finance examines the financial trends and longer term prospects for the airline industry as a whole contrasting the developments for the major regions and airlines together with critical discussion of key issues that affect the industry as a whole. Important techniques in financial analysis are applied to the airlines as well as their investors such as banks and other financial institutions. Thoroughly amended and updated throughout and expanded with the addition of two new chapters the fifth edition reflects the many developments that have affected the industry such as the impacts of the banking and sovereign debt crises on the airline industry signs of re-nationalisation of airlines that have emerged in Europe and the substantial changes that have occurred in connection with rating agencies and LIBOR. New start-ups and bankruptcies are covered for the first time in a new chapter joined by airline mergers and acquisitions (M&A) both playing a role in airline concentration. Reflecting their status as a permanent feature fuel hedging and fuel surcharges now also have their own chapter. The medium- to long-term future in terms of further concentration and government intervention (or the lack of it) and a shift in aircraft financing towards capital markets are discussed in the final chapter. The book is written for employees of airlines airports and their suppliers and investment bank and other analysts. It is also popular for use by universities and in-house courses on air transport management within both academia and industry.

Tidy Finance with R

Tidy Finance with R

This textbook shows how to bring theoretical concepts from finance and econometrics to the data. Focusing on coding and data analysis with R we show how to conduct research in empirical finance from scratch. We start by introducing the concepts of tidy data and coding principles using the tidyverse family of R packages. Code is provided to prepare common open-source and proprietary financial data sources (CRSP Compustat Mergent FISD TRACE) and organize them in a database. We reuse these data in all the subsequent chapters which we keep as self-contained as possible. The empirical applications range from key concepts of empirical asset pricing (beta estimation portfolio sorts performance analysis Fama-French factors) to modeling and machine learning applications (fixed effects estimation clustering standard errors difference-in-difference estimators ridge regression Lasso Elastic net random forests neural networks) and portfolio optimization techniques. Highlights 1. Self-contained chapters on the most important applications and methodologies in finance which can easily be used for the reader’s research or as a reference for courses on empirical finance. 2. Each chapter is reproducible in the sense that the reader can replicate every single figure table or number by simply copying and pasting the code we provide. 3. A full-fledged introduction to machine learning with tidymodels based on tidy principles to show how factor selection and option pricing can benefit from Machine Learning methods. 4. Chapter 2 on accessing and managing financial data shows how to retrieve and prepare the most important datasets financial economics: CRSP and Compustat. The chapter also contains detailed explanations of the most relevant data characteristics. 5. Each chapter provides exercises based on established lectures and classes which are designed to help students to dig deeper. The exercises can be used for self-studying or as a source of inspiration for teaching exercises. | Tidy Finance with R

The Routledge Handbook of Critical Finance Studies

The Routledge Handbook of Critical Finance Studies

There has been an increasing interest in financial markets across sociology history anthropology cultural studies and related disciplines over the past decades with particular intensity since the 2007–2008 crisis which prompted new analyses of the workings of financial markets and how “scandals of Wall Street” might have huge societal ramifications. The sociologically inclined landscape of finance studies is characterized by different more or less well- established homogeneous camps with more micro-empirical social studies of finance approaches on the one end of the spectrum and more theoretical often neo-Marxist approaches on the other. Yet alternative approaches are also gaining traction including work that emphasizes the cultural homologies and interconnections with finance as well as work that more broadly is both empirically rigorous and theoretically ambitious. Importantly across these various approaches to finance a growing body of literature is taking shape which engages finance in a critical manner. The term “critical finance studies” nonetheless remains largely unfocused and undefined. Against this backdrop the key rationales of The Routledge Handbook of Critical Finance Studies are firstly to provide a coherent notion of this emergent field and secondly to demonstrate its analytical usefulness across a wide range of central aspects of contemporary finance. As such the volume will offer a comprehensive guide to students and academics on the field of Finance and Critical Finance Studies Heterodox Economics Accounting and related Management disciplines. Chapter 14 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www. taylorfrancis. com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4. 0 license.

Austrian Economics Money and Finance

Austrian Economics Money and Finance

The financial crisis has exposed severe shortcomings in mainstream monetary economics and modern finance. It is surprising that these shortcomings have not led to a wider debate about the need to overhaul these theories. Instead mainstream economists have closed ranks to defend existing theories and public authorities have expanded their interference in markets. This book investigates the problems associated with mainstream monetary economics and finance and proposes alternatives based on the Austrian school of economics. This school emanated from the work of the nineteenth-century Austrian economist Carl Menger and was developed further by Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich August von Hayek. In monetary economics the Austrian school regards the creation of money by banks through credit extension as a key source of economic instability. From this follows the need for a comprehensive reform of our present monetary system. In a new monetary order money could be issued by both public and private institutions and there would be no need for fractional reserve banking. Instead of creating money banks would intermediate it. In finance the Austrian school rejects the notion of rational expectations and measurable risk. Individuals use their subjective knowledge to gather and evaluate information and they act in a world of radical uncertainty. Hence markets are not efficient nor can portfolios be built on the basis of known probability distributions of asset prices as described in the modern finance literature. This book explores the need for a new theoretical foundation for asset pricing and investment management that will give practitioners more useful orientation. | Austrian Economics Money and Finance
