Over the last three decades, wine economics has emerged as a growing field within agricultural economics, but also in other fields such as finance, trade, growth, environmental economics and industrial organization. Wine has a few characteristics that differentiate it from other agricultural commodities, rendering it an interesting topic for economists in general. Fine wine can regularly fetch bottle prices that exceed several thousand dollars. It can be stored a long time and may increase in value with age. Fine wine quality and prices are extraordinarily sensitive to fluctuations in the weather of the year in which the grapes were grown. And wine is an experience good, i.e., its quality cannot be ascertained before consumption. As a result, consumers often rely on “expert opinion” regarding quality and maturation prospects. This handbook takes a broad approach and familiarizes the reader with the main research strands in wine economics.

Universities have also become entrepreneurial hubs, as they commercialize research via patents, licenses, and startup companies. It is also important to note that entrepreneurship cuts across numerous fields in business administration, such as management, strategy, operations management, finance, marketing, and accounting, as well as across numerous social science disciplines, including economics, sociology, political science, and psychology.

THE STRATEGIC ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL MARKETS (In 2 Volumes) Volume 1: Framework Volume 2: Trading System Analytics by Steven D Moffitt (Stuart School of Business, USA & Market Pattern Research, Inc., USA)
“This book is required reading for anyone who hopes to understand how modern financial markets and trading really work. For too long, theoretical finance and the efficient markets hypothesis have been at odds with industry practice. At the same time, methods in the industry have been thought to be too heuristic for rigorous study. Drawn from his decades on Wall Street, Steve Moffitt’s Strategic Analysis of Financial Markets reconciles these conflicts by presenting a structured approach that is as practically applicable as it is quantitatively rigorous.” Benjamin van Vliet Illinois Institute of Technology Volume 1 is premised on the belief that markets can be understood only by dropping the assumptions of rationality and efficient markets in their extreme forms, and showing that markets still have an inherent order and inherent logic. Volume 2 continues the development of Volume 1 by introducing tools and techniques for developing trading systems and by illustrating them using real markets.

Black, Scholes and Merton introduced the contingent claim analysis (CCA) to the valuation of corporate debt and equity. The CCA considers all stakeholders of the corporation as holding contingent claims on the assets of the corporation. Each claim holder has different priorities, maturities and conditions for payouts. In the four volumes we present the major academic research on CCA to corporate finance. Volume I covers the foundations of CCA and equity valuation. Volume II focuses on corporate debt and capital structure. Volume III presents empirical evidence and applications to various financial arrangements. The papers in Volume IV show how to apply the CCA to deposit insurance and loan guarantees, contingent convertible bonds, and sovereign credit risk.
