Opis: The World Scientific Handbook of Futures Markets

The World Scientific Handbook of Futures Markets serves as a definitive source for comprehensive and accessible information in futures markets. The emphasis is on the unique characteristics of futures markets that make them worthy of a special volume. In our judgment, futures markets are currently undergoing remarkable changes as trading is shifting from open outcry to electronic and as the traditional functions of hedging and speculation are extended to include futures as an alternative investment vehicle in traditional portfolios. The unique feature of this volume is the selection of five classic papers that lay the foundations of the futures markets and the invitation to the leading academics who do work in the area to write critical surveys in a dozen important topics.Introduction: Overview and Introduction (Anastasios G Malliaris and William T Ziemba); Classical Contributions: Proof That Properly Anticipated Prices Fluctuate Randomly (Paul Samuelson); The Variation of Certain Speculative Prices (Benoit Mandelbrot); Commodity Futures Prices: Some Evidence on Forecast Power, Premiums, and the Theory of Storage (Eugene F Fama and Kenneth R French); Volume and Volatility in Foreign Currency Futures Markets (R Bhar and Anastasios G Malliaris); The Strategic and Tactical Value of Commodity Futures (Claude B Erb and Campbell R Harvey); New Invited Papers: Organized Futures Markets and Trading Mechanisms: A Global Perspective (Peter Alonzi); Regulatory Issues and Clearing Houses (Robert Steigerwald); Market Participants: Hedgers (Hendrik Bessembinder); Market Participants and the Role of Speculators in Futures Markets; Econometric Techniques for Chaotic Dynamics in Futures Markets (Cars H Hommes); Agricultural Markets (Angelo Vignola); Metallurgical Futures Markets (Brian M Lucey); Indices and Index Arbitrage in Futures Markets: Hedge Fund Strategies (Steve Todd and Tom Nohel); Interest Rate Futures; Foreign Exchange Markets (Tim Weithers); Energy Futures Markets (Cetin Ciner); Climate Futures Contracts (Helyette Geman); Performance of Commodity Futures Funds and Portfolio Theory (Alex Ziegler and William T Ziemba); Macro Risks and Futures Markets (Robert J Shiller); Failure of Futures Hedge Funds (William T Ziemba).
