This multipack combines Hull: Options, Futures & Other Derivatives Pearson International Edition 5th Edition (ISBN 0130465925), Haugen: Modern Investment Theory Pearson International Edition 5th Edition (ISBN 0130304735), Seiler: Performing Financial Studies: A Methodological Cookbook (ISBN 0130479810) and Nofsinger: The Psychology of Investing. (ISBN 0131432702) Hull: Options, Futures & Other Derivatives can be used for undergraduate and graduate courses in Options and Futures, Financial Engineering, and Risk Management, typically found in business, finance, economics and mathematics departments. This fifth edition text represents how academia and real-world practice have come together with a common respect and focus of theory and practice. It provides a unifying approach to the valuation of all derivatives - not just futures and options. It assumes that the student has taken an introductory course in finance and an introductory course in probability and statistics. Haugen: Modern Investment Theory offers accurate and intuitive coverage of investments, with an emphasis on portfolio theory. It includes extensive discussion of capital asset pricing, arbitrage pricing, pricing of derivative securities, interest rates, and bond management. Stock valuation, estimating future earnings and dividends, and fixed income markets are amined. Calculus is useful, but not required, since it is used only in the appendixes to the main discussions in the chapters. Seiler: Performing Financial Studies: A Methodological Cookbook is a core text for courses in Financial Research Methods or Financial Statistics, and a reference to be used throughout an entire graduate or undergraduate financial program. Unique in both content and approach, this text/reference provides a welcome solution to a problem all to often encountered by finance students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels: they take a statistics course, leave the class thinking they know statistics, but when asked to carry out the methodology in a research setting, they invariably cannot. Unlike other financial statistics texts (which simply explain how a procedure should be done), this text focuses on key financial procedures and breaks them down to a level truly accessible to students by showing them in detail what to do at each step in the procedure―much like following a recipe in a cookbook. And, because raw financial datasets are used, each method is related directly to finance and to the specific problems financial data presents. Students also become adept at using statistical procedures related exclusively to finance (often tersely described only in academic journals). This text will also serve students well as a reference to be used throughout their entire graduate or undergraduate financial program. For undergraduate and graduate Investments courses, The Psychology of Investing is the first text of its kind to delve into the fascinating and important subject of the psychology affecting investments. Its unique coverage describes how investors actually behave, the reasons and causes of that behavior, why the behavior hurts their wealth, and what they can do about it. Traditional finance has focused on developing the tools which investors use to optimize expected return and risk―understanding the psychology of investing will complement the material covered in traditional investments text.
