Worlds Apart Trading Together: The organisation of long-distance trade between Rome and India in Antiquity - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Kasper Grønlund Evers خلاصه: Worlds Apart Trading Together sets out to replace the outdated notion of ‘Indo-Roman trade’ with a more informed perspective integrating the new findings of the last 30 years. In order to accomplish this, a perspective focusing on concrete demand from the ground up is adopted, also shedding light on the role of the market in long-distance exchange. Accordingly, the analysis conducted demonstrates that an economically highly substantial trade took place between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean in the 1st–6th cen. CE, altering patterns of consumption and modes of production in both India, South Arabia and the Roman Empire. Significantly, it can be documented that this trade was organised at the centres of demand and supply, in Rome and India, respectively, by comparable urban associations, the transport in-between being handled by equally well-organised private networks and diasporas of seagoing merchants. Consequently, this study concludes that the institution of the market in Antiquity was able to facilitate trade over very long distances, acting on a scale which had a characteristic impact on the economies of the societies involved, their economic structures converging by adapting to trade and the market.

The Multilateral Trading System and Human Rights: A Governance Space Theory on Linkages - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Mihir Kanade خلاصه: This book contributes an original theory to understanding human rights and international trade. It offers the ‘governance space’ framework for analysing the linkages and normative relationships between the multilateral trading system (MTS) and human rights regimes. Drawing upon key case studies, the author identifies connecting strands as also gaps in linkage issues. He further examines the ‘right to development’ approach to resolve tensions between these two regimes and demonstrates how the approach may be the most appropriate road map to finding sustainable solutions in balancing human rights and equitable free trade in a complex globalised world. Presenting new legal analyses informed by current debates drawn from international organisations – the World Trade Organization, United Nations, International Labour Organization – governments, civil society and academia as well as global commitments such as the Sustainable Development Goals, the book proposes a systematic and holistic policy intervention. This timely and transdisciplinary text will be of great interest to academics, students and scholars of human rights, international trade, international law, development studies, public policy and governance, economics, politics and international relations. It will also be useful to policymakers, think-tanks, human rights advocates, professionals, lawyers, civil society organisations, non-governmental organisations and trade experts.

Multi-Period Trading via Convex Optimization - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Stephen Boyd خلاصه: Our investments will be in a universe of n assets, along with an associated cash account. We let ht ∈ Rn+1 denote the portfolio (or vector of positions or holdings) at the beginning of time period t, where (ht)i is the dollar value of asset i at the beginning of time period t, with (ht)i < 0 meaning a short position in asset i, for i = 1, . . . , n. The portfolio is long-only when the asset holdings are all nonnegative, i.e., (ht)i ≥ 0 for i = 1, . . . , n. The value of (ht)n+1 is the cash balance, with (ht)n+1 < 0 meaning that money is owed (or borrowed). The dollar value for the assets is determined using the reference prices pt ∈ Rn +, defined as the average of the bid and ask prices at the beginning of time period t. When (ht)n+1 = 0, the portfolio is fully invested, meaning that we hold (or owe) zero cash, and all our holdings (long and short) are in assets. Total value, exposure, and leverage. The total value (or net asset value, NAV) vt of the portfolio, in dollars, at time t is vt = 1T ht, where 1 is the vector with all entries one. (This is not quite the amount of cash the portfolio would yield on liquidation, due to transaction costs, discussed below.) Throughout this paper we will assume that vt > 0, i.e., the total portfolio value is positive. The vecto

نویسندگان: Stenfors, Alexis خلاصه: I had gone to India on holiday, and on the second day (it was 17 February 2009) I made a phone call to my manager at Merrill Lynch, who, as it happened, was also away from the office, telling him I wanted to talk. He said he was in a ski lift in Switzerland, and told me that he would call back in two or three hours. When he did, he initiated a conversation that would become the most difficult of my life. I informed him that my trading books were overvalued and had been so since mid-January. I had hoped that this would only be temporary but the markets had continued to move against me. ‘How much are we talking about?’ he asked. ‘It could be 100 million.’ ‘Why didn’t you tell me?’ ‘I really don’t know,’ I replied. ‘But now I feel ashamed. I want to apologise.’ Having opened the floodgates, the questioning began. I was interrogated about risk, volatility, hedging, 2008, liquidity, the credit crunch, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, other people’s losses, price movements, my previous boss, Bank of America, bonuses, profits, honesty, 2009, management, pressure, smoothing of profit and loss, exhaustion. Towards the end of our 45-minute conversation he asked: ‘Could this be a momentary lapse of reason?’ ‘Yes,’ I replied. ‘This is obviously very serious,’ he said. ‘It could go all the way up to the FSA.’
