Book is in NEW condition. 1.15

Financial markets respond to information virtually instantaneously. Each new piece of information influences the prices of assets and their correlations with each other, and as the system rapidly changes, so too do correlation forecasts. This fast-evolving environment presents econometricians with the challenge of forecasting dynamic correlations, which are essential inputs to risk measurement, portfolio allocation, derivative pricing, and many other critical financial activities. In Anticipating Correlations, Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Engle introduces an important new method for estimating correlations for large systems of assets: Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC). Engle demonstrates the role of correlations in financial decision making, and addresses the economic underpinnings and theoretical properties of correlations and their relation to other measures of dependence. He compares DCC with other correlation estimators such as historical correlation, exponential smoothing, and multivariate GARCH, and he presents a range of important applications of DCC. Engle presents the asymmetric model and illustrates it using a multicountry equity and bond return model. He introduces the new FACTOR DCC model that blends factor models with the DCC to produce a model with the best features of both, and illustrates it using an array of U.S. large-cap equities. Engle shows how overinvestment in collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, lies at the heart of the subprime mortgage crisis--and how the correlation models in this book could have foreseen the risks. A technical chapter of econometric results also is included. Based on the Econometric and Tinbergen Institutes Lectures, Anticipating Correlations puts powerful new forecasting tools into the hands of researchers, financial analysts, risk managers, derivative quants, and graduate students.

Communicating about student achievement requires accurate, consistent and meaningful grades.   Educators interested in examining and improving grading practices should ask the following questions:   · Am I confident that students in my classroom receive consistent, accurate and meaningful grades that support learning?  · Am I confident that the grades I assign students accurately reflect my school or district’s published performance standards and desired learning outcomes?   In many schools, the answers to these questions often range from "not very" to "not at all." When that’s the case, grades are "broken" and teachers and schools need a "repair kit" to fix them. A Repair Kit for Grading: 15 Fixes for Broken Grades gives teachers and administrators 15 ways to make the necessary repairs.     Also included in: 7 Training DVD Package - ISBN 9780132548939 Grading & Reporting in Standards-Based Schools DVD Package - ISBN 9780132548915 Repair Kit for Grading, A: Fifteen Fixes for Broken Grades - 10 Books - ISBN 9780131392830  Grading Package - 20 Books – ISBN 9780132108287  Grading Package - 30 Books – ISBN 9780132108362  Grading Package - 40 Books – ISBN 9780132108294  Grading Package - 50 Books – ISBN 9780132108355  Additional Resources   A Learning Team Study Guide is available online at www.assessmentinst.com/resources/ati-study-guides/.

Distinguished historian and policy analyst Maris Vinovskis examines federal K–12 education policies, beginning with the publication of A Nation at Risk and focusing on the National Education Goals, America 2000, Goals 2000, and No Child Left Behind. In addition to discussing key policy debates, he also addresses the practical aspects of implementing and evaluating school and classroom reforms. Drawing on the author’s unique experiences working in the Department of Education during both the George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton administrations, this important book: Examines the changing social, economic, and family contexts of education and schooling. Assesses the strengths and weaknesses of national education goals, standards-based reforms, and the role of accountability. Evaluates key policies such as increased federal spending, comprehensive White House education packages, and research-based education strategies. Critiques NCLB and recommends more realistic expectations and policies for the successful education of all children.

The Joint Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)/World Health Organization (WHO) Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) follow the same general principles and methods for chemical risk assessments, which are published in the reports of both committees. In response to recommendations made by JECFA and JMPR in the 1980s to review the validity of the evaluation procedures then in place, the International Program on Chemical Safety (IPCS) sponsored the preparation of Environmental Health Criteria monographs (EHCs) on Principles for the Safety Assessment of Food Additives and Contaminants in Food (EHC 70) and Principles for the Toxicological Assessment of Pesticide Residues in Food (EHC 104). These monographs and the principles laid out in subsequent reports have served as the basis for the assessments that have been performed by JECFA and JMPR. Although much of the guidance set out in EHC 70 and EHC 104 remains valid, there have been significant advances in chemical analysis, toxicology, dietary exposure assessment and risk assessment approaches for chemicals in food since these monographs were prepared. Accordingly, FAO and WHO initiated a project to update, harmonize and consolidate principles and methods used by JECFA and JMPR for the risk assessment of food additives, food contaminants, natural toxicants and residues of pesticides and veterinary drugs. This monograph is the outcome of that project. The purpose of this monograph is 2-fold: 1) to provide descriptive guidance for JECFA and JMPR to ensure the continuation of transparent and sound expert evaluations of scientific data for risk assessments of chemicals in food; and 2) to inform users of the outputs from JECFA and JMPR such as risk managers and other risk assessment bodies in Member countries and authorities.The monograph addresses the key issues considered by JECFA and JMPR in their food chemical risk assessments.

All initiatives start with uncertainty, creating consequences ranging from unfulfilled plans to total organizational failure. Yet ongoing research has shown risk management to be a frequently neglected area of planning. A framework is a simple, basic conceptual structure of a process, modifiable to fit the needs and circumstances of initiatives, whether they be projects, programs, operations, or even a collection of activities. Strong frameworks (known as shikumi in Japanese), allow an organization to change and weather changes quickly. A good framework is usable by a small initiative, but is also usable across the organization and organizations.Risk Assessment Framework provides a complete framework and a recommended means of implementation to establish a complete, reusable, and sustainable risk management methodology for any initiative. Tools, templates, forms, and guidance provide support for the implementation of the framework. It is up to the initiative manager to review the framework, tailor the framework to be appropriate for the initiative as needed, and select tools and techniques to support the tailored framework.This newly revised edition of Risk Assessment Framework includes:- an updated, scalable framework to proactively manage risk for any initiative- a guide to tailoring and scaling the framework to put it to immediate use- stress on positive risks as encouragement to use it (hint: it can pay for itself!)- a focus on a risk assessment workshop (the recommended framework implementation method)- access to tools, techniques, templates, and guidance to continuously improve risk management- alignment with the PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition and ISO 31000Whether you are an aspiring, new, accidental, or experienced manager, this book will help you successfully navigate uncertainty for any effort.

Security Risk Assessment is the most up-to-date and comprehensive resource available on how to conduct a thorough security assessment for any organization. A good security assessment is a fact-finding process that determines an organization’s state of security protection. It exposes vulnerabilities, determines the potential for losses, and devises a plan to address these security concerns. While most security professionals have heard of a security assessment, many do not know how to conduct one, how it’s used, or how to evaluate what they have found. Security Risk Assessment offers security professionals step-by-step guidance for conducting a complete risk assessment. It provides a template draw from, giving security professionals the tools needed to conduct an assessment using the most current approaches, theories, and best practices.Discusses practical and proven techniques for effectively conducting security assessmentsIncludes interview guides, checklists, and sample reportsAccessibly written for security professionals with different levels of experience conducting security assessments

This volume constitutes the papers and discussions from a symposium on "Societal Risk Assessment: How Safe is Safe Enough?" held at the General Motors Research Laboratories on October 8-9, 1979. This symposium was the twenty-fourth in an annual series sponsored by the Research Laboratories. Initi­ ated in 1957, these symposia have as their objective the promotion of the interchange ofknowledge among specialists from many allied disciplines in rapidly developing or changing areas ofscience or technology. Attendees characteristically represent the academic, government, and industrial institutions that are noted for their ongoing activities in the particular area of interest. The objective of this symposium was to develop a balanced view of the current status of societal risk assessment's role in the public policy process and then to establish, if possible, future directions of research. Accordingly, the symposium was structured in two dimensions; certainty versus uncertainty and the subjective versus the objective. Furthermore, people representing extremely diverse discip­ lines concerned with the perception, quantification, and abatement of risks were brought together to provide an environment that stimulated the exchange of ideas and experiences. The keys to this exchange were the invited papers, arranged into four symposium sessions. These papers appear in this volume in the order of their presentation. The discussions that in turn followed from the papers are also included.

The Risk-Based Asset Criticality Assessment (R-b ACA) Handbook provides guidance on developing an asset criticality assessment methodology that is aligned with an organization's business drivers and asset drivers. This handbook is among the few books that takes asset criticality as a subject matter and unpacks it in its entirety in a way that readers can visualize in their own operations. Interpreting and treating asset risks have always been primary concerns for asset owners and operators. As a fundamental decision-making tool in asset-intensive organizations, asset criticality should be providing answers to questions around asset risks. In reality, however, asset criticality is often not well thought out or properly implemented in many companies and, as such, has not lived up to expectations. With this in mind, the author devised a pragmatic approach to revamping asset criticality assessment in a way that both the commercial and operational sides of an organization can have a common understanding of asset risks and organizational exposure. The handbook builds the methodology step-by-step, outlining how business and asset drivers can be converted into factors of failure and, ultimately, into asset risks. In that regard, the R-b ACA Handbook addresses structural deficiencies with the traditional approach to asset criticality, such as its inability to provide on-demand asset risk information. By adopting this approach, readers will be able to critically examine their own organization and, based on its unique operating context, develop their own asset criticality methodology.
