Latest Edition: Pricing Derivative Securities (2nd Edition)The development of successful techniques for valuing derivative assets is among the most influential achievements of economic science. Pricing Derivative Securities presents the theory of financial derivatives in a way that emphasizes both its mathematical foundations and its practical implementation. The book's organization reveals its three distinctive features. Part I surveys the necessary tools of analysis, probability theory, and stochastic calculus, thus making the book self-contained. The chapters in Part II, Pricing Theory, are organized around the dynamics of the price processes of underlying assets, progressing from simple models to those that require considerable mathematical sophistication. The last part of the book is devoted to the empirical implementation of the pricing formulas developed in Part II, offering a detailed survey of numerical methods and providing a collection of programs in FORTRAN and C++.Errata(s)Preface, Page viChapter 13, Page 534“www.worldscientific.com/books/4415.zip” The above links should be replaced with“www.worldscientific.com/doi/suppl/10.1142/4415/suppl_file/4415_software_free.zip”Errata

Apply Six Sigma to Your #1 Business Challenge: Pricing “Six Sigma is well known for having helped companies save billions of dollars. This book is the first to show us how to use it on the revenue side of the equation to generate profitable growth. This step-by-step guide will be an instant classic—a seminal book on a topic critical to profitability.” —Robert Cross, Chairman and CEO, Revenue Analytics Inc. and author of Revenue Management “Six Sigma Pricing provides companies with a practical toolkit to improve their price management. The authors show executives how to use Six Sigma tools in their pricing processes and instantly improve profits and their bottom-line. This is a truly ‘must-have’ resource for managers everywhere.” —Eric Mitchell, President, Professional Pricing Society Many companies have developed solid sales strategies– but without equally good pricing operations, those strategies alone will not add a dime to the bottom line. The goal of pricing operations is to consistently control price deviations in transactions and contracts over time and across customer segments. This goal of ensuring the prices are not too low or too high in different transactions relative to guidelines lends itself perfectly to Six Sigma. Using the authors’ breakthrough Six Sigma-based approach, you can systematically eliminate pricing-related revenue leaks, driving higher profits without alienating customers. You’ll learn how to define pricing “defects,” gather and analyze relevant pricing data, review pricing-agreement processes, identify and control failures, implement improvements, and then ensure continuous, ongoing improvement in price, profits and customer satisfaction. The book reflects the authors’ pioneering experience implementing Six Sigma pricing. Whether you’re a business leader, strategist, manager, consultant, or Six Sigma specialist, it will help you or your client recover profits that have been slipping through the cracks in pricing operations. •Learn why Six Sigma Pricing makes sense Why you should target pricing operations, and how to do it • Identify profit leaks from inefficient pricing operations Why “sloppy pricing” occurs, how to find it, and how to root it out • Illuminate your current pricing processes, so you can improve them Understand your market-facing and internally focused pricing processes pertaining to product launch and lifecycle price management, price increases due to escalation in costs of raw materials, promotions, and discounting • Set up your pricing operations for continuous improvement in line with your pricing and sales strategy Use Six Sigma to improve and control processes, ensuring alignment with agreed-upon strategy for pricing and sales • Create an organization that is successful at pricing Align different functions and levels of the company to achieve targeted profits

Pricing has a substantial and immediate impact on profitability. Most companies, however, still use costs or competition as their main basis for setting prices. Product or business model innovation has a high priority for many companies, yet innovation in pricing received scant attention until the first edition of this groundbreaking book. This new edition of Innovation in Pricing builds on the success of the first, examining the ways in which pricing innovation can drive profits through cutting-edge academic research and best practice case studies from leading academics, business practitioners and consultants in pricing. The second edition has been fully revised and updated according to the latest developments in pricing, with: revisions to all chapters new chapters, including a chapter on business model and pricing model innovation a new introduction that makes explicit just what strategic pricing can do for your organization. This book is the only book dedicated to innovation in pricing and is an essential read for business executives, innovation managers and pricing managers wishing to treat innovation in pricing as seriously as they treat product, service or business model innovation. It is also valuable supplementary reading for advanced students of marketing and sales.

Publisher: Princeton University Press

Asset Pricing Theory is an advanced textbook for doctoral students and researchers that offers a modern introduction to the theoretical and methodological foundations of competitive asset pricing. Costis Skiadas develops in depth the fundamentals of arbitrage pricing, mean-variance analysis, equilibrium pricing, and optimal consumption/portfolio choice in discrete settings, but with emphasis on geometric and martingale methods that facilitate an effortless transition to the more advanced continuous-time theory. Among the book's many innovations are its use of recursive utility as the benchmark representation of dynamic preferences, and an associated theory of equilibrium pricing and optimal portfolio choice that goes beyond the existing literature. Asset Pricing Theory is complete with extensive exercises at the end of every chapter and comprehensive mathematical appendixes, making this book a self-contained resource for graduate students and academic researchers, as well as mathematically sophisticated practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of concepts and methods on which practical models are built. Covers in depth the modern theoretical foundations of competitive asset pricing and consumption/portfolio choice Uses recursive utility as the benchmark preference representation in dynamic settings Sets the foundations for advanced modeling using geometric arguments and martingale methodology Features self-contained mathematical appendixes Includes extensive end-of-chapter exercises
