Book Description
The current value of global trade has reached a staggering annual figure of $6 trillion in merchandise crossing borders. Such prolific global trading has, at the same time, begun to raise fears of pandemics and concerns for global health. Yet, investment in public health infrastructure and disease control was never designed to cope with international trade of this volume and diversity. Indeed, most health systems lag far behind, especially in poor countries. This has created new vulnerabilities for global populations to the introduction and amplification of infection through trade. Public fears have been further heightened by frightening news reports of deadly diseases such as Mad Cow disease and E. Coli. Risky Trade: Infectious Disease in the Era of Global Trade provides a thorough examination of the actual risks posed by disease in the age of globalization. Drawing on the economics of international trade and epidemiology, the author explores the critical health issues arising from the enormous increase in global trade and travel. Issues covered include: ¢ The scale of the problem with particular reference to the Sakai outbreak of E. Coli; ¢ Risks from particular microbes - Enteric and viral infections; Highly infectious agents; Antimicrobial resistance; and, Stealth agents; ¢ Global outbreaks as a result of human travel and trade; ¢ Prevention, surveillance and control; ¢ The future health of global trading. In addition to highlighting the problems, the book also addresses some of the potential benefits the same globalization can bring to epidemic control through surveillance, diagnostics, treatment and investigation. The empirical approach ties together existing descriptions and case studies of epidemics building a comprehensive framework for examining new events and considering historical experience with infectious outbreaks. The volume will be a valuable guide to students, academics, practitioners, and policy makers in the areas of international trade, health economics, epidemiology, international/public health and disease control.

Book Description
We see the stories in the newspaper nearly every day: a drug hailed as a breakthrough treatment turns out to cause harmful side effects; controls implemented to reduce air pollution are shown to generate hazardous solid waste; bans on dangerous chemicals result in the introduction of even more risky substitutes. Could our efforts to protect our health and the environment actually be making things worse? In Risk versus Risk, John D. Graham, Jonathan Baert Wiener, and their colleagues at the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis marshal an impressive set of case studies which demonstrate that all too often our nation's campaign to reduce risks to our health and the environment is at war with itself.

Book Description
All of Jim Brown’s Forex books are consistently ranked ‘Best Sellers’ on major platforms. Here is why… At no extra cost or on-costs, Jim shares with his readers: ✔ His custom indicators for the MT4/MT5 MetaTrader platforms, and TradingView, as a download package, along with all images in the book. ✔ An invitation to join his (free) Facebook and Telegram Groups with over 9,000 new and experienced Forex Traders contributing, including daily interaction with Jim. ✔ Jim calls his trades live, shares his results, and records weekly trade analysis videos on his YouTube channel. ✔ Contact Jim should you require any clarification on these trading methods. Jim, from Queensland Australia, is a full-time Forex Trader currently residing in South East Asia. In this book, Jim goes over his thoughts on Forex trading and how the markets have evolved over the years, including some fundamentals of what affects the markets. He encourages you to think a little differently about your approach to trading. Most traders fail at trading long term, so Jim will present you with many ways and techniques to approach the FX market, and hopefully make you a better trader than most. This book is primarily written for intermediate/experienced Forex traders with a basic understanding of trading terminology and how the Forex market works. The book is not limited to Forex trading, as these trading methods can be used on any trading instrument’s price chart e.g. Stocks, Futures, Metals, Commodities, Metals, Indices, or Crypto. It also covers some higher-risk trading strategies that may not be suitable for all traders such as, mention of trading without stop losses, high leverage accounts, multiple trades on the same Forex pair/s at the same time, which may include trades in opposite directions at the same time (hedging), and a variation of martingale trade management techniques. Some may not be comfortable with this or may reside in a jurisdiction that doesn’t allow this type of trading. But having said that, he also demonstrates the same trading setups using the more traditional lower-risk style of trading, so please don’t be put off by the mention of higher-risk trading as he does cater to all levels of risk. As part of a download package accompanying this book, you will be provided with custom indicators for MT4 and MT5, as well as some templates for those platforms. You will also be provided the same indicators (scripts) for TradingView and downloadable images from the book. You may not wish to conduct your actual trading off the MT4/MT5 or TradingView platforms, however, as this method relies on the use of Jim's custom indicators which he had specifically built for Metatrader and TradingView, consequently you will need to download a free MT4/MT5 or TV platform to enable you to conduct your trade analysis, and then place your actual trades on your preferred Broker’s platform.

Book Description
Lecture Notes in International Trade Theory covers classical international trade models (including the Ricardian, Ricardo Viner, and Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson models). The course is designed for M.Sc. and first year PhD students. It relies on both graphical and analytic methods, requiring only intermediate microeconomics and a solid grounding in calculus. The material emphasizes 'second-best' settings, where markets are imperfect. The goal is to equip students with a good enough understanding of open-economy general equilibrium relations that they understand how distortions ripple across different markets, e.g. commodity and factor markets. The Author applies these ideas to environmental and natural resource problems, including pollution 'leakage' (where pollution reductions in one country are offset by trading partners' increased pollution) and imperfect property rights. Other applications include the general equilibrium effects of commodity and trade taxes, international transfers (the 'transfer problem'), minimum wage constraints, and immiserizing growth. The Author assumes that students have some experience in formulating and answering comparative statics questions in an optimization setting. Building on these skills, and developing the idea of stability in an equilibrium setting (the Marshall Lerner condition), students learn how to formulate and answer comparative static questions in trade models.

Book Description
The Nobel Prize-winning Father of Modern Portfolio Theory re-introduces his theories for the current world of investing Legendary economist Harry M. Markowitz provides the insight and methods you need to build a portfolio that generates strong returns for the long run In Risk-Return Analysis, Markowitz corrects common misunderstandings about Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) to help advanced financial practitioners dramatically improve their decision making. In this first volume of a groundbreaking four-part series sure to draw the attention of anyone interested in MPT, Markowitz provides the criteria necessary for judging among risk-measures; surveys a half-century of literature (nearly all of which has been ignored by textbooks) on the applicability of MPT; and presents an empirical study of which functions of mean and some risk-measure is best for those who seek to maximize return in the long run. Harry M. Markowitz is a Nobel Laureate and the father of Modern Portfolio Theory.

Book Description
This book focuses on the subjectivities of stock market investors to explore tensions within the Chinese state’s engagement in contemporary financial capitalism. It adopts a genealogical method to investigate how the production of foreign-trained financial experts (haigui) and informal experts (sanhu) points to paradoxes in China’s efforts to cultivate financial expertise. Chinese financialisation relates to the state’s project of financialising human capital in reaction to a contractualised labour market and the vanishing welfare state. Through ethnographic inquiry, Dal Maso shows the Chinese stock markets are crucial to the new redistributive regime where wage labour risks losing its primacy. Here, one can observe how the relationship between money and wages in China is being reworked and witness the development of a new economic order in which the state’s legitimacy becomes increasingly dependent on its capacity to jiushi–to rescue the market in times of crisis.
