| Blog Post: TheFinancialServicesClub: Fintech firms' marketing stinks Posted: 17 Apr 2013 02:41 AM PDT There’s an old saying that cropped up the other day in respect of Margaret Thatcher’s son, Mark. It was a joking reference by Margaret that her son was so clever he could sell “snow to eskimos or sand to Arabs†or, as one wag put it, arms to anyone.read more...

| Posted: 16 Apr 2013 05:39 PM PDT We introduce a simple agent-based model which allows us to analyze three stylized facts: a fat-tailed size distribution of companies, a `tent-shaped' growth rate distribution, the scaling relation of the growth rate variance with firm size, and the causality between them. This is achieved under the simple hypothesis that firms compete for a scarce quantity (either aggregate demand or workforce)... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article.    |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2013 05:38 PM PDT This article presents results from the first statistically significant study of causes of cost escalation in transport infrastructure projects. The study is based on a sample of 258 rail, bridge, tunnel and road projects worth US$90 billion. The focus is on the dependence of cost escalation on (1) length of project implementation phase, (2) size of project and (3) type of project ownership....

| Posted: 16 Apr 2013 05:38 PM PDT Implementing large-scale information and communication technology (IT) projects carries large risks and easily might disrupt operations, waste taxpayers' money, and create negative publicity. Because of the high risks it is important that government leaders manage the attendant risks. We analysed the based on a sample of 1,355 public0sector IT projects. The sample included large-scale projects,... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article.    |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2013 05:38 PM PDT We introduce an algorithm for the pricing of finite expiry American options driven by L\'evy processes. The idea is to tweak Carr's `Canadisation' method, cf. Carr [9] (see also Bouchard et al [5]), in such a way that the adjusted algorithm is viable for any L\'evy process whose law at an independent, exponentially distributed time consists of a (possibly infinite) mixture...
