Models at Work: A Practitioner's Guide to Risk Management (Global Financial Markets) by Jawwad Farid : the book

Risk Management's greatest failure has been its inability to simplify its factual presentation and connect with board and executive team members in a language that they can understand and relate to. By using simple well established tools, Models at Work takes readers through a journey that cuts across models, frameworks, practice, data, markets, countries and case studies.

A central theme of the book it is that we need sophistication in analysis, not complexity in modeling; that risk models don't work in isolation and for a risk function to be successful it needs to focus on presenting results that are understood by broader audiences, not just the mathematically inclined.

Models at Work addresses these challenges and will demonstrate:

• how to measure the impact of volatility using simple and incrementally complex tools.

• how to translate the impact to changes in business results under stressed conditions, looking toward the distribution of volatility and Monte Carlo simulations rather than static value at risk models.

• the multiple flavors of value at risk as well as additional portfolio metrics.

• how to link target accounts and risk policy and examine the impact of both on designing risk systems.

• Monte Carlo simulation in Excel for simulating commodity prices, projecting business P&L and analyzing hedge effectiveness.

• price swaps, vanilla and exotic options in Excel.

If you have been searching for market relevant, background material on risk that can be shared with board members and business line managers, with technology, implementation and audit teams, with new arrivals in the compliance function or even business school students, this book is for you. It fills in the missing context that kills conversations around risk management. How do you measure and manage risk? How do you link risk to business drivers? How does risk work outside the financial services industry? Why doesn't Value at Risk work?

Using lay person language and simple tools, Models at Work answers questions raised by risk management practitioners and students around the world and will become a valuable resource for both audiences
 

The Quants: How a New Breed of Math Whizzes Conquered Wall Street and Nearly Destroyed It [Audiobook] by Scott Patterson "

In March 2006, the world’s richest men sipped champagne in an opulent New York hotel. They were preparing to compete in a poker tournament with *million-dollar stakes. At the card table that night was Peter Muller, who managed a fabulously successful hedge fund called PDT. With him was Ken Griffin, who was the tough-as-nails head of Citadel Investment Group. There, too, were Cliff Asness, the sharp-tongued, mercurial founder of the hedge fund AQR Capital Management, and Boaz Weinstein, chess “life master” and king of the credit-default swap. Muller, Griffin, Asness, and Weinstein were among the best and brightest of a new breed, the quants. Over the past twenty years, this species of math whiz had usurped the testosterone-fueled, kill-or-be-killed risk takers who’d long been the alpha males of the world’s largest casino. The quants believed that a cocktail of differential calculus, quantum physics, and advanced geometry held the key to reaping riches from the financial markets. And they helped create a digitized money-trading machine that could shift *billions around the globe with the click of a mouse. Few realized that night, though, that in creating this extraordinary system, men like Muller, Griffin, Asness, and Weinstein had sown the seeds for history’s greatest financial disaster.
 

Vasile Dragan, Toader Morozan, Adrian-Mihail Stoica, "Mathematical Methods in Robust Control of Linear Stochastic Systems" : the book

- A unified and abstract framework for Riccati type equations arising in the stochastic control

- Stability and control problems for systems perturbed by homogeneous Markov processes with infinite number of states

- Mixed H2 / H∞ control problem and numerical procedures

- Linear differential equations with positive evolution on ordered Banach spaces with applications for stochastic systems including both multiplicative white noise and Markovian jumps represented by a Markov chain with countable infinite set of states

- Kalman filtering for stochastic systems subject both to state dependent noise and Markovian jumps

- H∞ reduced order filters for stochastic systems

The book will appeal to graduate students, researchers in advanced control engineering, finance, mathematical systems theory, applied probability and stochastic processes, and numerical analysis.

A model of Austrian economics by Hendrik Hagedorn : the book

After the most recent financial crisis it has become clear that there exists a crisis also in economics as a science. The prevailing paradigms have failed to anticipate and to understand the financial crisis. New approaches are therefore needed. Of particular interest should be approaches that combine insights from those parts of economics that are largely neglected by the mainstream. Hendrik Hagedorn presents a model that synthesizes elements of Austrian, post-Keynesian, and evolutionary economics. Thus, an economic paradigm is developed that challenges neoclassical economics as a whole.
