    MODELING, MEASURING AND MANAGING RISK

    Table of Contents (175k)
    Preface (113k)
    Chapter 1: Modeling Uncertain Outcomes (356k)

    This book is the first in the market to treat single- and multi-period risk measures (risk functionals) in a thorough, comprehensive manner. It combines the treatment of properties of the risk measures with the related aspects of decision making under risk.

    The book introduces the theory of risk measures in a mathematically sound way. It contains properties, characterizations and representations of risk functionals for single-period and multi-period activities, and also shows the embedding of such functionals in decision models and the properties of these models.

     
    Contents:
    • Modeling Uncertain Outcomes
    • Measuring Single-Period Risk
    • Measuring Multi-Period Risk
    • Single-Stage Decision Models
    • Multi-Stage Decision Models for Financial Management
    • Multi-Stage Decision Models for Electricity Management
     
    Readership: Academics and researchers in risk management, finance and management, stochastics and operations research.
     
    “The book is very useful for researchers, professionals and students in the risk area.”
