Economic and Non-economic Variables Nexus with The Stock Price Index
The past decades have witnessed stimulate growth in size and indices of the emerging financial markets in developing countries. Meanwhile, these markets have witnessed multiple economic and political crises such as the global financial crisis. The main objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive analysis that aims to highlight the determinants of the stock market index in Jordan by investigating the equilibrium relationship between the stock price index and two different groups of variables. The findings of the non-economic variables suggest a noticeable impact from the Gulf-war 1991, September eleven 2001, Iraqi invasion 2003, Amman bombing 2005, and global financial crises 2007, as well as the negative effect of the Arab spring 2011 on the stock price index. The different effects of macroeconomic variables on the SPI had effects on stock returns which might prove useful for portfolio diversification strategies in achieving the best risk-return trade-off. The implication of the findings is that investors get benefits for their portfolios by utilizing macroeconomic information for investment decisions.

Making Things Valuable
This book provides insights into the process of valuation. Valuing is understood as a plural activity where 'pricing' things is just one way of signifying value. Socio-economic reality is constituted through different 'orders of worth' that are grounded in the way people 'praise' and 'prize' things.

Under a Capricorn Sky
Nurses form the single largest health group across the globe and have done so for the past 150 years. Yet, they are frequently left out of the historical record. Histories of nursing have often focused on an institution or organisation. Few look at nursing work across a single geographical region; even fewer consider a non-metropolitan context. This book traces the various modes of nursing work available during the first half of the 20th century in a specific region of Australia: Central Queensland. It analyses nurses and their work within the broader social and political contexts of whiteness and welfare, and considers how these influenced the evolution of nursing services: who the nurses were, where they worked, and what factors affected their work. This analysis should be of interest to nurses seeking to understand their past a little better; and to social historians seeking to uncover the place of women working in health industries.

Effects of the Oil Export Price Increase on the Economy
This study examines the effects of the oil export price increase in both theoretical and empirical contexts considering the Kazakhstani economy as a case study, and discusses the effects of different macro closure rules. The study has been motivated by several factors. First, the theoretical literature on this subject is limited as it relies on the Salter-Swan framework that does not incorporate two- way trade or it assumes the oil sector an enclave. Second, the empirical literature on the effects of the oil export price increase on Kazakhstan using an economy-wide framework is limited. Third, there is hardly anything in the literature that tests the effects of different macro closure rules in theoretical multi-sector models, although different macro closure rules might trigger different results. As a result, most of the CGE modelers conventionally do not explain the rationale behind their choice of macro closure rules, although the results might be different under different macro closure rules. The study develops several stylized models to test the effects of alternative macro closure rules and applies Lofgren et al''s (2002) model to the Kazakhstani economy.

Option pricing theory using Mellin transforms
This thesis seeks to provide an overview on the use of Mellin transforms in Option pricing and to explain related issues. After introducing some basic concepts of Stochastic analysis and Option pricing, we use Mellin transforms as a tool to uncover formulas for pricing of different types of financial derivatives, such as European vanilla and power options, or the American options. Most of this content can be regarded as a summary of existing results on the use of Mellin transforms in option pricing. The main added value of the thesis is the deeper mathematical analysis which most of the preceding studies were lacking. In fact, although Mellin transforms offer an exceedingly convenient tool under the operational (optimistic) approach, the detailed analysis of its use is rather nontrivial.

CONGESTION PRICING WITH WITH HETEROGENEOUS USER GROUPS
This paper focuses on the characteristics of a representativecategory of congestion pricing regimes ("the representative regimes"). The representative regimes have the characteristics that many if not most congestion pricing regimes share: a priced period, an unpriced period, and at least two heterogeneous user groups. This paper found that: a) Treating all users as homogeneous in the model produced biased indicators; b) When heterogeneous users are categorized into two user groups and group- specific data were used in the model, economic efficiencies of the representative regimes remain stable whether first-, second-, or third-best tolls are charged; c) Ignoring even one aspect of user group heterogeneity causes biased estimates of the representative regimes.

Forecasting US Home Prices with Neural Network and Fuzzy Methods
Housing prices can be seen as an important tool affecting business cycles via its impact on investment and consumption spending. Also, local specifications allow for differences in regional business cycles.Recent studies have shown that there is a link between the housing market and economic activity. Also, they suggest that house-price fluctuations lead to real activity, inflation, or both. Therefore the existence of good model to forecast is very crucial for policy makers. Good policy requires that first identification of relationship for data (linear or non _linear) because it can affect not only housing prices rather all the economy.Research evidence shows that for any system with non-linear instability patterns such as the market for housing,the utilization of the ANN methodology serve properly. Therefore, in order to elucidate the non-linearity in the housing market, this book develops a new framework for the neural network and fuzzy methods, and pioneers their application to the recursive forecasting techniques.

Mispricing Between Identical Assets
This study investigates the possible explanatory factors behind the mispricing in dual traded assets using Mondi Holdings as a case study. The study documents the existence of substantial mispricing, averaging 9%, between the Mondi twins. The results indicate that regulatory controls were significant in sustaining a larger part of the price deviations. Evidence of excess co-movements is also observed as a key driver of the mispricing, an indication that share prices are to some extent influenced by market sentiment and behavioural biases in markets in which they trade. It also appears as if any mispricing caused by excess co-movement cannot be arbitraged away due to lack of fungibility of the scrip. The paper does not find enough evidence to support the effects of transactions costs and fundamental/ twin specific variables. This analysis will be of great value to academics, investments analysts and professionals in the asset management industry as they seek to understand the subject. Active portfolio managers and arbitrageurs will make informed decisions given a good understanding of the drivers of the mispricings.

Distortions to Agricultural Markets
Food prices have a large impact on many people’s daily lives, especially in developing countries where some people’s survival is a daily fight against hunger. Food price levels, volatility and extreme price spikes impact especially the population in countries where a large share of income is spent on food and earned from farming, which is the case in many African and other low-income countries. The worst market effects of a poor harvest caused by extreme weather events, floods, droughts, fires or other natural disasters can be eased through international trade, yet governments routinely restrict such trade, often in an attempt to stabilise their domestic food markets. This study analyses patterns and underlying political economy causes of long-run trends and short-run fluctuations in national distortions to agricultural incentives and food prices, capturing the most recent international food price spike and governments’ reactions to it. The analysis shows, among other things, the very considerable extent to which countries contribute to international food price volatility through altering their trade restrictions.

Option Pricing Models built from Levy Processes
This article seeks to studying two di?erent methods of option pricing - one introduced in Carr and Madan (1999), and the other one in F. Fang and Oosterlee (2008) - suitable for stock prices following stochastic processes whose characteristic function is known. The advantage of these methods is that they do not require an explicit formula for the density function. For each method, we determine good computation parameters before comparing them in terms of e?ciency and accuracy. As an intermediary step, and because the Carr-Madan method is not compatible with a customised strike grid, we study two interpolation methods : the linear and the natural cubic spline interpolations. We also discuss the calibration problem, explain why it is not as straightforward as it may seem, and compare the results obtained for both models.

Cost Management in PSUs
This book is useful to who are working Projects on Cost Management, Transport Industry, Public Sector Undertakings, Graduate and Post-Graduate Students and Research Scholars. For the purpose of this study, two transport organisations working under public sector (namely APSRTC and MSRTC) have been chosen for the study. These two organisations were nationalised by the respective state governments in the early 1950’s. Especially the APSRTC has won many awards in maintaining fuel efficiency and also for eco-friendly maintenance of buses. These are the two organisations having highest fleet strength and also covering highest passenger kilometres in the entire country; hence these organisations were selected as the sample units.

Spillovers between Commodity Prices and Biofuel Energy Prices
This study addressed the problem of causal price relationships between biofuels and an enhanced group of non-energy agricultural commodities, elaborating elegant econometric techniques for capturing possible asymmetric causal effects. The empirics explored the issue of spillovers between biofuels prices and commodity prices. It first investigated the long-run equilibrium and it assumed that an adjustment process toward the equilibrium was there. The adjustment process, however, could be non-linear, implying that it could identify critical thresholds that determine regions in the sample that once exceeded, while price inter linkages may vary. Hence, for the same commodity market, different policy measures could be appropriate in different regions. The empirical results indicated that there was a number of commodity prices that have strong causal (asymmetric) relationship with biofuel prices, compared to others that are weakly related. In the long run, an increase in the research and development of new production technology could further weaken price linkages to commodities and ameliorate the biofuels market conditions.

How do quality metrics influence the price of an outsourcing contract?
The focus of this research is on a particular case in which Company B is performing outsourcing services for Company A, a telecommunication company with a considerable bargaining power, in terms of size, over the vendor company. Company A is outsourcing particular segments of its corporate customer service department. Among the reasons for this decision are also the process and quality improvement. When considering the quality measurement and the monitoring policies in this relationship, the measurements applied fall into the classic time related parameters. However, the main challenge mentioned by both companies’ representatives is measuring the end customer satisfaction.

Firms Performance and Stock Prices
The recent global crisis which suddenly results to Nigerian stock market crash revealed some peculiarities of Nigerian firms. Some firms in Nigeria are performing but their stock prices are not increasing while some firms are at the brink of collapse but their stock prices are increasing. Thus, this study examines the relationship between firm performance and stock prices in Nigeria. The study covered the period of 2005 to 2009. This period is the period of stock boom and also marked the period of stock market crash as a result of global financial meltdown. The study is a panel study. A total of 140 firms were sampled from 216 firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). Data were collected from secondary source. These data were divided into four strata comprising the most performing stock, the least performing stock, most performing firms and the least performing firms. Each stratum contains 35 firms with characteristic of most performing stock, most performing firms, least performing stock and least performing firms. The study found that, relationship exists between selected firm performance parameters and stock price.
