Modeling Ecological Systems

  • 1st Edition
  • February 1, 2029
  • Hsiao-Hsuan Wang + 1 more
  • English
Ecological Modeling: An Introduction to the Art and Science of Modeling Ecological Systems, Volume 31, presents the skills needed to appropriately evaluate and use ecological models. Illustrated throughout with practical examples, the book discusses ecological modeling as both an art and a science, balancing the qualitative (artistic) side, with its foundations in common sense and modeling practice, against the quantitative (scientific) aspects of the modeling process. This book draws on the authors’ extensive experience in both teaching and using these techniques to provide readers with a practical, user-friendly guide that supports and encourages the appropriate, effective use of these tools.

Optimally Irrational

  • 1st Edition
  • January 1, 2029
  • Lionel Page
  • English
Optimally Irrational: The Good Reasons We Behave the Way We Do provides economists, social scientists and researchers in behavioral economics with a clear view of the frontier of research in economics and other behavioral sciences, including how the different biases unveiled by behavioral economics make sense when we try to optimize problems. The book evaluates the role of bias in human economic behavior, considers the human decision-making processes as the product of natural selection, and explores why we behave the way we do.

Inclusive Entrepreneurship and the Sustainable Development Goals

  • 1st Edition
  • June 1, 2026
  • English
Inclusive Entrepreneurship and the Sustainable Development Goals brings together a collection of high caliber research-based chapters on the topic of inclusive entrepreneurship and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This edited volume makes the important link between the drive for inclusive entrepreneurship and addressing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The chapters draw on a range of geographical and cultural contexts and are authored by leading international scholars. It offers valuable contemporary content that can contribute to teaching and research in inclusive entrepreneurship, equality studies and sustainability for a variety of purposes. This book aims to augment the current body of knowledge in the field of inclusive entrepreneurship and highlight its relevance in contributing to the well-being of people, as stipulated by the UN SDGs. It provides crucial information about what inclusive entrepreneurship is and how to incorporate different viewpoints or perspectives into entrepreneurship. It begins with introductory chapters covering theoretical concepts, overviews of the field, systematic literature reviews, and so on, and continues with empirically based research chapters exploring specific countries, different sectors, and challenges and approaches to solving the issues articulated in the SDGs. It concludes with future approaches and mindsets required to address the SDGs for a more inclusive society. This book will serve as a valuable reference to academics, researchers, doctoral students, and those with a stake in the entrepreneurship, inclusivity, and their relationship to the SDGs.

Commodities for Sustainable Development

  • 1st Edition
  • May 1, 2026
  • Adam Marszk
  • English
Commodities for Sustainable Development: Exchange-Traded Commodities and Other Commodity-linked Financial Instruments offers detailed, highly focused insight into commodities investing in line with sustainability and ESG principles. It uniquely focuses on commodities in the sustainable/ESG investment portfolios with the exposure gained through the units of ETCs, and it provides an up-to-date review of the literature and theoretical concepts in this emerging area of commodities investing. It is designed as a detailed discussion of various topics concerning commodities and their role in sustainability, understood twofold as contributions or barriers to sustainable development and one of the major components in sustainable investing portfolios. The book explains the main features of ETCs and compares them to other similar financial products—especially the ones used for commodities investing—indicating their relative strengths and weaknesses. It also discusses the possible impact of ETCs on related markets, including the ones for the underlying assets, derived from empirical and theoretical examinations. The empirical analysis presented in the book covers all ETCs available globally, thus offering valuable insights into the often-understudied markets. It also covers the possible application of ETCs as tools for sustainable investing in commodities. It discusses problematic issues linked to commodities investments (from the sustainability perspective) and assesses the ESG profile of the major ETCs, also as detailed case studies. It also discusses sustainable development policies in the context of the commodities and financial investment industries. This book serves as a valuable resource for a wide range of readers—researchers, students, instructors, and professionals alike—due to its theoretical and empirical outline of the commodities-linked financial instruments, particularly ETCs.

Contemporary Financial Intermediation

  • 5th Edition
  • March 1, 2026
  • Stuart I. Greenbaum + 2 more
  • English
Contemporary Financial Intermediation, Fifth Edition by Greenbaum, Thakor, and Boot continues to offer a distinctive approach to the study of financial markets and institutions by presenting an integrated portrait that puts information and economic reasoning at the core. Such reasoning is used in this revised edition to understand the implications of information technology revolution that characterizes the financial services industry with digitization and fintech as important manifestations. Contemporary Financial Intermediation explores the subtlety, plasticity, and fragility of financial institutions and credit markets, and the ramifications for risk management (including cyber risk). In this new edition every chapter has been updated and pedagogical supplements have been enhanced. For the financial sector, the best preprofessional training explains the reasons why markets, institutions, and regulators evolve the way they do, why we suffer recurring financial crises, how we typically react to them, and how digitization and fintech will affect financial services and the industry at large. This textbook demands more in terms of quantitative skills and analysis, but its ability to teach about the forces shaping the financial world is unmatched. Students receive a complete foundation on the subject, providing a strong basis for learning and understanding key challenges in the management and operations of financial institutions, and their competitive environment.

Thermoforming Modeling and Simulation

  • 1st Edition
  • January 1, 2026
  • Fouad Erchiqui + 3 more
  • English
Thermoforming Modeling and Simulation: A Multiphysics Approach concentrates on the modeling and optimization of thermoforming, as well as identifying the structural behavior of thermoplastics used for thermoforming. The book demonstrates the expertise gained through industrial and academic projects in technical transfer. It also illustrates the research and development skills in experimental and numerical modeling of thermoforming. The problem of identifying laws of behavior from experimental data (rheological or mechanical tests in large deformations), using algorithms such as neural networks, is also addressed.Through its multiphysics content, this book is helpful for researchers, teachers and industrialists interested in new advances in thermoforming (characterization of materials, modeling and optimization).

Model Risk Management

  • 1st Edition
  • January 1, 2026
  • Jonathan Schachter + 1 more
  • English
Model Risk Management explains in step-by-step, practical terms how mathematical models owned by financial institutions are essential to their public (sales, trading, risk management, and internal audit) and private (merger and acquisition, and IPO) activities. Like a diverse fleet of cars maintained by a rental car location, a bank must make sure customers can “drive” any of its models in seeking a profit or hedge in a specific financial product. The book is divided into three sections on conventional pricing and risk models, including risk-neutral and historical measures. Chapters consider modeling basics, marked-to-market asset classes, market risk, credit risk, portfolio risk, operational risk, capital model risk, and financial crime, along with machine learning, AI, and Python specific modeling and risk assessment techniques. Problems sets, video examples, sample Python code, and an instructor manual are offered on companion and instructor sites to support learning and provide an opportunity to put concepts into practice. A refresher in statistics and an abbreviation glossary are included across two appendices.
