Dark Markets

Dark Markets

Darrell Duffie

Princeton University Press
2012
sidottu
Over-the-counter (OTC) markets for derivatives, collateralized debt obligations, and repurchase agreements played a significant role in the global financial crisis. Rather than being traded through a centralized institution such as a stock exchange, OTC trades are negotiated privately between market participants who may be unaware of prices that are currently available elsewhere in the market. In these relatively opaque markets, investors can be in the dark about the most attractive available terms and who might be offering them. This opaqueness exacerbated the financial crisis, as regulators and market participants were unable to quickly assess the risks and pricing of these instruments. Dark Markets offers a concise introduction to OTC markets by explaining key conceptual issues and modeling techniques, and by providing readers with a foundation for more advanced subjects in this field. Darrell Duffie covers the basic methods for modeling search and random matching in economies with many agents. He gives an overview of asset pricing in OTC markets with symmetric and asymmetric information, showing how information percolates through these markets as investors encounter each other over time. This book also features appendixes containing methodologies supporting the more theory-oriented of the chapters, making this the most self-contained introduction to OTC markets available.

How Big Banks Fail and What to Do about It

How Big Banks Fail and What to Do about It

Darrell Duffie

Princeton University Press
2010
sidottu
Dealer banks--that is, large banks that deal in securities and derivatives, such as J. P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs--are of a size and complexity that sharply distinguish them from typical commercial banks. When they fail, as we saw in the global financial crisis, they pose significant risks to our financial system and the world economy. How Big Banks Fail and What to Do about It examines how these banks collapse and how we can prevent the need to bail them out. In sharp, clinical detail, Darrell Duffie walks readers step-by-step through the mechanics of large-bank failures. He identifies where the cracks first appear when a dealer bank is weakened by severe trading losses, and demonstrates how the bank's relationships with its customers and business partners abruptly change when its solvency is threatened. As others seek to reduce their exposure to the dealer bank, the bank is forced to signal its strength by using up its slim stock of remaining liquid capital. Duffie shows how the key mechanisms in a dealer bank's collapse--such as Lehman Brothers' failure in 2008--derive from special institutional frameworks and regulations that influence the flight of short-term secured creditors, hedge-fund clients, derivatives counterparties, and most devastatingly, the loss of clearing and settlement services. How Big Banks Fail and What to Do about It reveals why today's regulatory and institutional frameworks for mitigating large-bank failures don't address the special risks to our financial system that are posed by dealer banks, and outlines the improvements in regulations and market institutions that are needed to address these systemic risks.

Clarifying Your Missional Focus: Foundational Realities for Great Commission Efforts

Clarifying Your Missional Focus: Foundational Realities for Great Commission Efforts

Darrell Horn

Darrell Horn
2018
nidottu
Recent studies reveal that a majority of churchgoers have not heard of the Great Commission. A decline in Great Commission education has resulted in the belief that everything the church engages in is missions. Through the use of Scripture, a Biblical understanding of the difference between the Great Commission and the Great Commandment is presented. The author also presents a three-principle approach for a more in-depth understanding of foundational realties for Gospel efforts. This book is a great resource not only for individuals but any church seeking to be mission active.

A Look In The Mirror: The Disintegration Of Our Morals, Values, Ethics, and Society; Can America Be Saved?

A Look In The Mirror: The Disintegration Of Our Morals, Values, Ethics, and Society; Can America Be Saved?

Darrell Cass

America Books
2015
nidottu
In this eye opening, witty, painfully honest, Socrates like hard "look in the mirror," Darrell Cass reeducates those 99% of Americans and the world that have been bullied, brainwashed, kidnapped, and beaten into delusional submission by master sorcerers. You will laugh, cry and be ashamed as he illuminates the ingenious ways our self-serving elite have percolated their morals, values, and ethics down throughout society at any cost. One that was willingly hypnotized, programmed, and duped into playing its role in this play for modern day privateers through a comprehensive list of cancerous infections we've all spread throughout every segment of society for their benefit. This brutal confession points out it takes "two to tango" and exposes our seedily choreographed social demise started by Wall Street, politicians, and Super Pac's in the 1980's with just a few, selfish, corrupt, moral-less, narcissist on board. But by 2000, when the train pulled out of the station - it was packed full of ordinary Americans. You will quickly realize for the last 35 years we've been nothing more than a highway for political ambitions, an extremist punching bag they beat to a pulp, and a puppet they played like a violin for their amusement. Like Charlie Brown, we charge that football time and again and follow their plan as if they sincerely are not going to pull that darn ball away, then continue to follow that Scrooge of contemporary society "COMMERCIALISM" right off the cliff We followed Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's theory of self above all else until democracy, liberty, and freedom were kidnapped Delusional from privateers, marketing, the stock market boom of the 90's, and stratospheric home appreciations, expectations changed dramatically and we no longer appreciate what we have. Imprisoned by our own whims and desires, we feel we're entitled to the best, and things that were once considered a luxury or treat is now a daily expectation and demand. A feeding frenzy of excess has been embedded in our brains by those who profit most, leaving our priorities and ethics a disgrace and our values disappearing like a ship on a flat earth. Who caused America's social degradation and empowers the billionaires, politicians, and banking establishments that are more dangerous than standing armies? Who's really responsible for our misguided, irrational, self-absorbed, materialistic, often violent and cruel society, and how did it happen? Who helped push the self-destruct button? Now, the question is - Can we restore our great society, or is it too late to sink their moral-less mighty fleet, and pull the country back out of "Davy Jones's locker."

Race and the Black-White Achievement Gap Myth: Attaining Equity for the African American Learner in American Public Schools

Race and the Black-White Achievement Gap Myth: Attaining Equity for the African American Learner in American Public Schools

Darrell a. Jackson

Dr. Darrell A. Jackson, Education Consultant
2017
nidottu
Race and the Black-White Achievement Gap Myth, published in 2017, attempts to dispel the surreptitious myth that disparate achievement levels between Black and White students is due primarily to intrinsic intellectual and cultural failings of Black children and their parents. A compelling case is made for the ways in which systemic racism victimizes Black children through ubiquitous residential segregation, Apartheid Schooling, second generation school segregation, and the multitude of ways many educators manifest their deficit views of Black students and biased values. Drawing upon research and forty years of education experience, the author proposes a unique set of common sense solutions to narrowing the gap and improving academic performance in general; strategies he has used to close the gap between Black and White students in two New Jersey schools.

Growing up in the crime-ridden streets of Los Angeles' South Central, Darrell Gartrell could easily have become just another statistic. But a backpacking journey across Europe changed his fortunes forever. Eventually, he landed in Osaka. There, he became the first African-American to teach English focused primarily on urban culture. His academy, called Wisdom21, was an instant hit. But doing business in Japan was to come at a heavy price, and Darrell's unlikely success meant that he attracted, not only the upper echelons of polite society, but of the feared 'yakuza' (Japanese mafia) as well. Darrell shares his experiences here, in 21 Years of Wisdom - One Man's Extraordinary Odyssey in Japan. His story is a poignant African-American biography and penetrating Japan travel memoir; chronicling a fight for survival in a strange land; paving the way for those in search of wisdom--in the 21st century.

Terry Fox defined perseverance and hope for a generation of Canadians. Forty years after Terry's run ended, Forever Terry reflects what Terry's legacy means to us now, and in the future. To mark the 40th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope, Forever Terry: A Legacy in Letters recounts the inspiration, dedication, and perseverance that Terry Fox embodied, and gives voice to an icon whose example spoke much louder than his words. Comprising 40 letters from 40 contributors, and edited by Terry's younger brother Darrell on behalf of the Fox family, Forever Terry pays tribute to Terry's legacy, as seen through the eyes of celebrated Canadians ranging from Margaret Atwood, Bobby Orr, Perdita Felicien, Jann Arden, and Christine Sinclair, to those who accompanied Terry on his run, Terry Fox Run organizers, participants, supporters, and cancer champions.

Probability

Probability

Darrell P. Rowbottom

Polity Press
2015
sidottu
When a doctor tells you there?s a one percent chance that an operation will result in your death, or a scientist claims that his theory is probably true, what exactly does that mean? Understanding probability is clearly very important, if we are to make good theoretical and practical choices. In this engaging and highly accessible introduction to the philosophy of probability, Darrell Rowbottom takes the reader on a journey through all the major interpretations of probability, with reference to real-world situations. In lucid prose, he explores the many fallacies of probabilistic reasoning, such as the ?gambler?s fallacy? and the ?inverse fallacy?, and shows how we can avoid falling into these traps by using the interpretations presented. He also illustrates the relevance of the interpretation of probability across disciplinary boundaries, by examining which interpretations of probability are appropriate in diverse areas such as quantum mechanics, game theory, and genetics. Using entertaining dialogues to draw out the key issues at stake, this unique book will appeal to students and scholars across philosophy, the social sciences, and the natural sciences.

The Correspondence of Christian Gottfried Krause: A Music Lover in the Age of Sensibility

The Correspondence of Christian Gottfried Krause: A Music Lover in the Age of Sensibility

Darrell M. Berg

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2009
sidottu
The fascinating correspondence of the Berlin lawyer and musician Christian Gottfried Krause is an important document reflecting the trends and developments in aesthetics, music theory and music making in the Prussian capital during the reign of Frederick the Great. Krause's letters shed light on the rise of a bourgeois music culture, which during his lifetime gradually replaced the traditional musical institutions at court and in the churches, preparing the urban musical culture which to this day dominates German socio-cultural structures. This volume features Krause's letters to leading literary figures of his time, including Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim, Carl Wilhelm Ramler, Ewald Christian von Kleist, and Johann Peter Uz. The letters provide importand information not found in other sources about musical performances, and express Krause's strong opinions about leading German musicians with whom he was acquainted, such as Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Georg Philipp Telemann, Carl Heinrich Graun, and Johann Friedrich Agricola. The letters provide news about the Berlin opera and gossip about the Prussian court as well as containing Krause's response to the Seven Years' War and his perception of the horrors - and benefits - of war in general. The correspondence vividly portrays the concern of a middle-class Prussian for the health and welfare of his family of six, in the very period when the Prussian middle class was beginning to come into its own. And - particularly in the exchanges with the lonely Gleim - the letters reveal a remarkable sympathy between this family man and a man without a family. They are presented in the original German, with English translations on facing pages. An introduction and abundant annotations help to reveal a picture of a pivotal cultural moment and will be of interest to anyone working on the roots of urban musical culture and the culture of the mid-eighteenth century in general.
