This book examines sustainable wealth formation and dynamic decision-making. The global economy experienced a veritable meltdown of asset markets in the years 2007-9, where many funds were overexposed to risky returns and suffered considerable losses. On the other hand, the long-term upswing in...

Einführung und begriffliche Grundlagen -- Identifizieren der Ziele des Investmentportfolio-Managementprozesses -- Modellieren von Investmentzielen auf Basis Strategischer Investmentfelder (SIF) -- Optimieren eines assetklassenbasierten Investmentportfolios -- Optimieren eines SIF-basierten...

This is an advanced text on the theory of forward and futures markets which aims at providing readers with a comprehensive knowledge of how prices are established and evolve over time, what optimal strategies one can expect from the participants, what characterizes such markets and what major...

Kenntnisse über die Entwicklung der Zinssätze beliebiger Fristen der Zinsstrukturkurve sind essentiell für eine Vielzahl von Anwendungen. Beispielsweise für Fragen der Kapitalanlageprojektion, die im Asset/Liability-Management und im Rahmen der Gesamtunternehmenssteuerung von Relevanz sind,...

Dynamic Pricing of services has become the norm for many young service industries - especially in today’s volatile markets. Steffen Christ shows how theoretic optimization models can be operationalized by employing self-learning strategies to construct relevant input variables, such as latent...

This book explores how to design and implement planning & control (P&C) systems that can help organizations to manage their growth and restructuring processes in a sustainability perspective. The book is not designed to enable the reader to become an experienced system dynamics modeler; rather,...

This book provides a straightforward overview for every researcher interested in stochastic dynamic vehicle routing problems (SDVRPs). The book is written for both the applied researcher looking for suitable solution approaches for particular problems as well as for the theoretical researcher...

This book presents the latest findings on stochastic dynamic programming models and on solving optimal control problems in networks. It includes the authors’ new findings on determining the optimal solution of discrete optimal control problems in networks and on solving game variants of Markov...

Many optimization questions arise in economics and finance, an important example of this is the society's choice of the optimum state of the economy (the social choice problem). Optimization in Economics and Finance extends and improves the usual optimization techniques, in a form that may be...

Recent developments in IC technologies have facilitated the practical application of dynamic vehicle routing systems. While most of the available dynamic approaches deal with urban area environments, the focus of this thesis is set to wide area dynamic freight transportation covering the entire...
