  • 3 - Binomial or CRR Model

  • from Part I - Discrete-Time Models for Finance
  • Amanda Turner, University of Leeds, Dirk Zeindler, Lancaster University
  • Book:
    Stochastic Finance
    Published online:
    16 February 2023
    Print publication:
    09 February 2023, pp 62-96

  • Summary

    The binomial or Cox–Ross–Rubinstein (CRR) model is a simple discrete model for the financial market. The advantage of this model is that it is simple enough that it can be implemented and analysed without advanced mathematics like stochastic integration or Itô calculus, yet it is complicated enough to reflect a financial market. In particular, it allows us to easily understand concepts like risk-neutral measures and hedging strategies.

  • 6 - Continuous Probability

  • from Part II - Continuous-Time Models for Finance
  • Amanda Turner, University of Leeds, Dirk Zeindler, Lancaster University
  • Book:
    Stochastic Finance
    Published online:
    16 February 2023
    Print publication:
    09 February 2023, pp 139-163

  • Summary

    In this chapter we will review the basic knowledge of continuous probability theory and stochastic processes. We will take a look at general probability spaces and random variables as well as convergence of random variables in Section 6.1. In Section 6.2, we will take a look at stochastic processes and in Section 6.3, we will look at filtrations and conditional expected values in the general situation. A reader having a good understanding of those concepts can skip this chapter.

    16 February 2023
    Print publication:
    09 February 2023, pp 3-16

  • Summary

    In this chapter we introduce some basic notions from finance. We explain the assumptions on financial markets which will be used in the rest of the book, and define key concepts such as arbitrage.

  • 7 - Compensation

  • David Collins, City, University of London
  • Book:
    An Introduction to International Investment Law
    Published online:
    14 March 2023
    Print publication:
    09 February 2023, pp 196-225

  • Summary

    This chapter examines the way in which compensation is assessed for the purposes of breaches of an investment treaty. It considers the Hull Formula of gauging compensation, which focuses on market value, and the competing Calvo Doctrine. The chapter also explores the difficulties associated with valuing assets and emerging issues in relation to claims of moral damages.

  • 4 - Finite Market Model

  • from Part I - Discrete-Time Models for Finance
  • Amanda Turner, University of Leeds, Dirk Zeindler, Lancaster University
  • Book:
    Stochastic Finance
    Published online:
    16 February 2023
    Print publication:
    09 February 2023, pp 97-122

  • Summary

    In this section we study a more general discrete model, of which the binomial model is a special case. This model is called the finite market model. As for the binomial model, we are interested in the arbitrage-free price of a contingent claim. To study this question, we introduced two important tools in Chapter 3.

The Cambridge Introduction to Intercultural Communication

  • Uniquely interdisciplinary and accessible, The Cambridge Introduction to Intercultural Communication is the ideal text for undergraduate introductory courses in Intercultural Communication, International Communication and Cross-cultural Communication. Suitable for students and practitioners alike, it encompasses the breadth of intercultural communication as an academic field and a day-to-day experience in work and private life, including international business, public services, schools and universities. This textbook touches on a range of themes in intercultural communication, such as evolutionary and positive psychology, key concepts from critical intercultural communication, postcolonial studies and transculturality, intercultural encounters in contemporary literature and film, and the application of contemporary intercultural communication research for the development of health services and military services. The concise, up-to-date overviews of key topics are accompanied by a wide variety of tasks and eighteen case studies for in-depth discussions, homework, and assessments.

Second Language Acquisition
  • Introducing Intervention Research
  • Tania Ionin, Silvina Montrul
  • Published online:
    03 February 2023
    Print publication:
    26 January 2023
  • Based on classic and cutting-edge research, this textbook shows how grammatical phenomena can best be taught to second language and bilingual learners. Bringing together second language research, linguistics, pedagogical grammar, and language teaching, it demonstrates how linguistic theory and second language acquisition findings optimize classroom intervention research. The book assumes a generative approach but covers intervention studies from a variety of theoretical perspectives. Each chapter describes relevant linguistic structures, discusses core challenges, summarizes research findings, and concludes with classroom and lab-based intervention studies. The authors provide tools to help to design linguistically informed intervention studies, including discussion questions, application questions, case studies, and sample interventions. Online resources feature lecture slides and intervention materials, with data analysis exercises, ensuring the content is clear and ready to use. Requiring no more than a basic course in linguistics, the material serves advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students studying applied linguistics, education, or language teaching.
