I have many working
papers and hundreds of
articles of the "Journal of Finance", "Mathematical Finance",
"Applied Financial Economics", "Econometrica",
"Journal of Political Economy", "The Review of Financial
Studies", "The American Economic Review", "Biometrika", "Journal
of Empirical Finance", "The European Journal of Finance",
"European Financial Management", "The Journal of Business",
"Human Relations", "Organizational Dynamics", "Mathematical
Programming" and many others,
all in .pdf format. Moreover, I have famous articles of the most
distinguished authors. The CAPM by W. Sharpe - Capital
Asset Prices (1964), The B-S model by Black & Scholes -
The Pricing of Options and Corporate Liabilities (1973),
The Efficient Capital Markets I & II (1970, 1991) by E. Fama,
The Cross-Section Of Expected Stock Returns (1992) by E.
Fama & K. French, Relativity: The Special and General Theory
(1916) by Albert Einstein. Just send an e-mail with your request and I
will send it to you. |

Look at my new online photo album filled with
pictures from my vacations, sporting events, and
several places around the world. |
I have just finished reading an excellent book, "The Da Vinci
Code" by Dan Brown, who masterfully concocts an intelligent and
lucid thriller. It has enough twists and turns in a short amount
of time and contains hidden codes, murders, secrets,
conspiracies, art history lesson, chase story and religious
symbology lecture. A really brainy stuff. Now, I
start reading another excellent book by Stephen Hawkins which is
entitled
"A
Brief History of Time". It
throws new light on
the modern physics and it is so well-written that an amateur in
physics could understand difficult terms such as Black Holes,
Supernovas or
Einstein's theories.
First of all, the author tries to explain the Universe, how was
created, how is it expanding,
why is the universe
the way it is and and how will it end.
He also writes about Space-Time,
the Arrow of Time and the
unification of physics.
His intension, in general, is to find a unified theory,
complete
set of all laws of physics (the idea of Albert Einstein) and he
believes that
a complete,
consistent, unified theory is only the first step, "...our
goal is a complete understanding of the events around us, and of
our own existence...". Einstein once asked the question:
"How much choice did God have in constructing the universe?"
Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a
set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into
the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?... Why
does the universe go to all the bother of existing? Is the
unified theory so compelling that it brings about its own
existence? Or does it need a creator, and, if so, does he have
any other effect on the universe? And who created him? ... if we
do discover a complete theory, it should in time be
understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just a few
scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and
just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of
the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we
find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of
human reason - for then we would know the mind of God.
In
sum, I believe that both books are well worth reading,
practical, informative and challenging and I suggest both of
them. |
