Soviet Society And Culture

Soviet Society And Culture

Terry L Thompson; Richard Sheldon; Edward J Brown; Michael P Sacks

Routledge
2019
sidottu
Academic analysis has not always kept pace with the dramatic changes that have occurred in the USSR since Stalin’s time, for objective study has often been overshadowed—especially in the 1980s—by publicity concerning the negative aspects of the “Evil Empire.” Recently, however, because of reforms initiated by Gorbachev, the dynamics of the Soviet system have come into sharper focus. This book provides a wide-ranging, detailed view of economic, social, ideological, and literary aspects of the Soviet system leading up to the Gorbachev era. The essays include both historical and contemporary perspectives on the sources of stability (and stagnation) in the post-Stalin years. Examining the intricate fabric of Soviet society, the contributors provide insights into the social and cultural motivations for Gorbachev’s “restructuring” policies. Their themes echo the work of Vera S. Dunham, who for more than four decades has focused on diverse aspects of Soviet society and culture, particularly on the noncoercive means of social control that have often been overlooked but that are a vital component of the Soviet system.

Models for Investors in Real World Markets

Models for Investors in Real World Markets

James R. Thompson; Edward E. Williams; M. Chapman Findlay

John Wiley Sons Inc
2002
sidottu
A uniquely timely look at where modern financial economic theory has failed–and where we should go from here The collapse of the Scholes-Merton based Long Term Capital Management (LTCM) hedge fund should have sounded alarms or, at least, raised questions about investment strategies based on risk-neutral probabilities. More recently, the fallout of Enron, WorldCom, and similar fiascos must now give pause to those who take the efficient market-based formula for "fair prices" (especially in options and derivatives) as rigid laws. This provocative volume provides a new, antiefficient markets approach to investment theory and management. Questioning the assumption that markets clear neatly and quickly, Models for Investors in Real World Markets considers neoclassical models in light of what can go wrong with them, outlines basic institutional factors associated with how stock markets operate, and then offers ways to bring about better (though never correct) models. Providing a stinging critique of modern financial economic theory, this timely book: *Introduces basic concepts of utility theory, the cornerstone of portfolio theory *Illustrates why diversification is an important fundamental requirement of rational investment choice *Provides a detailed procedure for analyzing securities, borrowing the concepts of Benjamin Graham and David Dodd, and building a quantitative framework for them *Examines the importance of compound interest and observes that stock growth may be viewed as noisy compound interest *Demonstrates that options are themselves stochastic, risky entities and not magical devices for the elimination of risk *Develops a conceptualization of risk profiling based on their development of the simugram. As opposed to the Markowitz approach of maximizing growth subject to acceptable levels of volatility, the authors use the simugram, their computer intensive forecast of the time-indexed density function of portfolio value. Percentiles, rather than expectations, form the major bases for the criterion functions and constraints utilized for portfolio management. For anyone who has ever questioned–or should have questioned–the efficient market orthodoxy, this book will be a valuable reference on market analysis and investment strategy.

This book provides an overview of current research on a variety of topics related to both large-scale and classroom assessment. First, the purposes, traditions and principles of assessment are considered, with particular attention to those common to all levels of assessment and those more connected with either classroom or large-scale assessment. Assessment design based on sound assessment principles is discussed, differentiating between large-scale and classroom assessment, but also examining how the design principles overlap. The focus then shifts to classroom assessment and provides specific examples of assessment strategies, before examining the impact of large-scale assessment on curriculum, policy, instruction, and classroom assessment. The book concludes by discussing the challenges that teachers currently face, as well as ways to support them. The book offers a common language for researchers in assessment, as well as a primer for those interested in understanding current work in the area of assessment. In summary, it provides the opportunity to discuss large-scale and classroom assessment by addressing the following main themes: ·Purposes, Traditions and Principles of Assessment ·Design of Assessment Tasks ·Classroom Assessment in Action ·Interactions of Large-Scale and Classroom Assessment ·Enhancing Sound Assessment Knowledge and Practices It also suggests areas for future research in assessment in mathematics education.
