Praise for Robust Portfolio Optimization and Management "In the half century since Harry Markowitz introduced his elegant theory for selecting portfolios, investors and scholars have extended and refined its application to a wide range of real-world problems, culminating in the contents of this masterful book. Fabozzi, Kolm, Pachamanova, and Focardi deserve high praise for producing a technically rigorous yet remarkably accessible guide to the latest advances in portfolio construction." --Mark Kritzman, President and CEO, Windham Capital Management, LLC "The topic of robust op

Realization of the "just" society would result in a remarkable yet simple structure wherein individual freedom is fully respected, and redistribution consists of an equal sharing of individual earnings obtained by the same limited "equalization labor". The concept of "equalization labor", a measure of the degree of community, solidarity, reciprocity, redistribution, and equalization of the societies under consideration, is determined by methods presented in this volume.Book DescriptionThe main features of the just society present a remarkable and simple meaningful structure. In this society, i

This first book in English by Serge-Christophe Kolm provides an overview of his far-reaching vision of distributive justice. Kolm derives justice from considerations of rationality. Justice cannot be defined by one all-encompassing principle or set of a few principles. It has the general form of an equality of individuals’ liberties in a broad sense, with different applications and specific adjustments when several liberties conflict or when everybody prefers another outcome. Kolm describes the theory of justice and presents and evaluates each of the various modern theories, principles,

Justice and Equity is a major work on the foundations of normative economics. The principles established by Kolm have formed the basis of the major lines of study in the field. The central principles are the ideal equalities in freedom (related to non-envy) and in happiness (approximated by the efficient leximin in fundamental utility). Kolm also presents related principles such as fundamental dominance and majorities, realistic equity, and adequacies. He analyzes thoroughly the reasons, properties, and consequences of these principles. A foreword for the English-language edition presents the

Smith Gale, former Navy Chaplain, now owner and teacher at a martial arts academy, had successfully assisted a friend in trouble in a rather heavily reported exploit. Having read of this, a neighbor decides to commission him to locate her "abducted" daughter, Victoria. His payment would be a valuable antique Ford with the same name as his quarry. He accepts the challenge and proceeds to interview everyone who knew her or of her. As an adult, she could have simply gone off on her own so the police are limited in their search. His pursuit takes him from her high school days, through college, her
