Financial Management in the Sport Industry
by Matthew T. Brown Daniel A. Rascher Mark S. Nagel Chad D. McevoyThis book provides readers with an understanding of sport finance and the importance of sound financial management in the sport industry. It begins by covering finance basics and the tools and techniques of financial quantification, using relevant sport examples.

Discussions include time value of money, capital budgeting, facility financing, economic impact, and risk and return. The final part of the book focuses on three sport industry sectors--parks and recreation, collegiate athletics, and professional sport--providing in-depth analysis of financial management within each sector. Throughout, sidebars, case studies, concept checks, and financial problems enable thorough study and practice. Readers learn to apply, and see how sport managers apply, sport financial management principles in real-life situations. Altogether, it offers a good balance of first presenting background information on financial management and then spending the majority of its pages focusing on these concepts in a sport-specific context.

Financial Management of Family Businesses: Transparency – Compliance - Performance – Strategy - Governance (Contributions to Finance and Accounting)
by Thomas Zellweger Patricio OhleFinancial management in family businesses is a special challenge. CFOs in particular are often at the crossroads of various interests and roles. However, not least the public reticence of family businesses has so far ensured that there is a lack of knowledge about these interrelationships. A specialist circle of CFOs from large German-speaking family businesses is dedicated at the Center for Family Business at the University of St.Gallen (Switzerland) to discuss these issues . In this book, these experts share their wealth of knowledge and experience with the public for the first time. Along a five-step model, they shed light on key areas of responsibility that go far beyond mere financial management. They discuss issues of transparency and compliance, from performance and strategy to governance - and provide concrete suggestions for everyday business life. Whether manager, owner, or advisory board member, anyone who bears responsibility in a family business can benefit from this bridge between theory and practice.The CFO network fbxperts.ch has also been present internationally since 3 years: in Italy, Spain, France, UK and other locations.

Financial Market Analysis and Behaviour: The Adaptive Preference Hypothesis (Routledge Studies in Economic Theory, Method and Philosophy)
by Emil Dinga Camelia Oprean-Stan Cristina-Roxana Tănăsescu Vasile Brătian Gabriela-Mariana IonescuThis book addresses the functioning of financial markets, in particular the financial market model, and modelling. More specifically, the book provides a model of adaptive preference in the financial market, rather than the model of the adaptive financial market, which is mostly based on Popper's objective propensity for the singular, i.e., unrepeatable, event. As a result, the concept of preference, following Simon's theory of satisficing, is developed in a logical way with the goal of supplying a foundation for a robust theory of adaptive preference in financial market behavior. The book offers new insights into financial market logic, and psychology: 1) advocating for the priority of behavior over information - in opposition to traditional financial market theories; 2) constructing the processes of (co)evolution adaptive preference-financial market using the concept of fetal reaction norms - between financial market and adaptive preference; 3) presenting a new typology of information in the financial market, aimed at proving point (1) above, as well as edifying an explicative mechanism of the evolutionary nature and behavior of the (real) financial market; 4) presenting sufficient, and necessary, principles or assumptions for developing a theory of adaptive preference in the financial market; and 5) proposing a new interpretation of the pair genotype-phenotype in the financial market model. The book's distinguishing feature is its research method, which is mainly logically rather than historically or empirically based. As a result, the book is targeted at generating debate about the best and most scientifically beneficial method of approaching, analyzing, and modelling financial markets.
Financial Market Bubbles and Crashes
by Harold L. VogelDespite the thousands of articles and the millions of times that the word 'bubble' has been used in the business press, there still does not appear to be a cohesive theory or persuasive empirical approach with which to study 'bubble' and 'crash' conditions. This book presents a plausible and accessible descriptive theory and empirical approach to the analysis of such financial market conditions. It advances such a framework through application of standard econometric methods to its central idea, which is that financial bubbles reflect urgent short side rationed demand. From this basic idea, an elasticity of variance concept is developed. It is further shown that a behavioral risk premium can probably be measured and related to the standard equity risk premium models in a way that is consistent with conventional theory.
Financial Market Bubbles and Crashes, Second Edition: Features, Causes, and Effects
by Harold L. VogelEconomists broadly define financial asset price bubbles as episodes in which prices rise with notable rapidity and depart from historically established asset valuation multiples and relationships. Financial economists have for decades attempted to study and interpret bubbles through the prisms of rational expectations, efficient markets, and equilibrium, arbitrage, and capital asset pricing models, but they have not made much if any progress toward a consistent and reliable theory that explains how and why bubbles (and crashes) evolve and can also be defined, measured, and compared. This book develops a new and different approach that is based on the central notion that bubbles and crashes reflect urgent short-side rationing, which means that, as such extreme conditions unfold, considerations of quantities owned or not owned begin to displace considerations of price.

Financial Market Design by an Agent-Based Model (Evolutionary Economics and Social Complexity Science #33)
by Takanobu Mizuta Isao YagiThis is the first book to focus on designing a financial market that works well, and that includes making and/or modulating detailed regulations and/or rules, by a computer simulation of an agent-based artificial financial market model (ABAFMM). The design of a financial market is very important for the development and maintenance of an advanced economy, but designing it is not easy because changes in detailed rules, even those that seem trivial, sometimes have unexpectedly large impacts and side effects in a financial market, which is a complex system. Traditional economics cannot treat a financial market as a complex system in which micro–macro interaction and feedback loops have played essential roles, because traditional economics can only treat macrophenomena and micro processes separately. ABAFMM can do it, however. This book explains, first, why ABAFMMs are needed to design financial markets and which models have good features. Following that explanation, the book discusses how to build the models. Then, cases of recent studies and their contributions are shown, and finally, the difficulties of researchers in this field are considered. This book is expected to facilitate the design of more ABAFMMs to contribute to creating financial markets that will further develop and maintain advanced economies.

Financial Market Liberalization in Chile, 1973-1982 (Routledge Library Editions: Financial Markets #10)

Financial Market Regulation
by John A. TatomWhat role should regulation play in financial markets? What have been the ramifications of financial regulation? To answer these and other questions regarding the efficacy of legislation on financial markets, this book examines the impact of the Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLBA), also called the Financial Modernization Act of 1999, which fundamentally changed the financial landscape in the United States. The GLBA allows the formation of financial holding companies that can offer an integrated set of commercial banking, securities and insurance products. The tenth anniversary of the most sweeping financial legislation reform in the industry's structure is a natural benchmark for assessing the effects of the law and for questioning whether changes are necessary in the working of this historic legislation. The importance of this review is reinforced by a variety of proposals in the last several years to reform the regulation of financial institutions that have attracted considerable attention among regulators and in the financial firms that they regulate. Most recently, the financial crisis and the failure of some large financial institutions have called into question the legitimacy of America's current financial structure and its regulation, including to some degree the GLBA. There is no doubt that regulatory reform is front and center on today's policy agenda. The lessons of the GLBA experience and its effects, both domestic and international, on financial markets and competitiveness, risk-taking and risk management by financial services firms and their regulators will be critical to the direction the country takes and the effort to ensure that future financial crises do not occur or have less costly damage. With contributions from academics, policy experts, and a sponsor of the GLBA, Congressman James Leach, this book is invaluable to anyone interested in financial system reform.

Financial Markets (Dis)Integration in a Post-Brexit EU: Towards a More Resilient Financial System in Europe
by Dieter PesendorferThe European Union is creating a Financial Union with a European Banking Union and a Capital Markets Union in reaction to lessons learned from incomplete financial markets integration, the Global Financial Crisis and European Sovereign Debt Crisis. This book critically analyses these projects for a more integrated, resilient and sustainable financial system at a time when the United Kingdom as the member state with the most developed capital markets and the leading global and European financial center, the City of London, is leaving the Union. Neoliberal financial globalization and markets integration policies have led to finance-led capitalism that caused the crises. By building on pre-crises integration ideas, the Union revives and expands the reach of capital markets-based financing and shadow banking. The book discusses the consequences of deeper integration and the future of European financial centers advocating an alternative financial markets integration based on theories explaining finacialization and finance-led capitalism.
Financial Markets And Institutions
by Anthony Saunders Marcia Millon CornettFinancial Markets and Institutions is aimed at the first course in financial markets and institutions at both the undergraduate and MBA levels. While topics covered in this book are found in more advanced textbooks on financial markets and institutions, the explanations and illustrations are aimed at those with little or no practical or academic experience beyond the introductory-level finance courses. In most chapters, the main relationships are presented by figures, graphs, and simple examples. The more complicated details and technical problems related to in-chapter discussion are provided in appendixes to the chapters. Since the author team's focus is on return and risk and the sources of that return and risk in domestic and foreign financial markets and institutions, this text relates ways in which a modern financial manager, saver, and investor can expand return with a managed level of risk to achieve the best, or most favorable, return–risk outcome.
