 Economic
And Financial Decisions Under Risk (244 pages, $35 softcover, 2005,
ISBN 0-691-12215-6) by Louis Eeckhoudt, Christian Gollier, and Harris Schlesinger,
published by Princeton University Press.
Understanding and dealing with risk is an essential part of modern economics. This book represents a summary of basic multiperiod decision-making under risks. The authors start with the fundamentals of risk measurement and risk aversion, then apply these concepts to insurance decisions and portfolio choice in a one-period model. The rest of the book is mostly devoted to looking at these decisions in a multiperiod context, which adds the long-term perspective most risk management analyses requires. Each chapter concludes with a discussion of the relevant literature and a set of problems. Princeton University Press, https://pupress.princeton.eduBACK TO LIST |

Cap Investor (195 pages, $49.95 hardcover, 2004, ISBN 0-471-47870-9)
by Richard Imperiale, published by John Wiley & Sons.
Studies have revealed that investing in microcap stocks has generated greater long-term returns than investing in blue chips. Yet because microcap stocks are by nature more volatile, they are shunned by investment bankers and conservative buy-and-hold investors. This book gives you what you need to know to carve out sizable positions in small companies. Let it show you how to exploit the information advantage embedded in micro caps, uncover stocks poised to become "10-baggers," and make micro cap investing an integral component of your overall investment strategy.
