Forecasting

by Kenneth D. Lawrence (Editor), John B. GuerardJr. (Editor), Gary R. Reeves (Editor)

Overview

This research annual presents state-of-the-art studies in the integration of mathematical planning and management. As the literature and techniques in financial planning and management become increasingly complex, our monographs aid in the dissemination of research efforts in quantitative financial analysis. Topics include cash management, capital budgeting, financial decisions, portfolio management and performance analysis, and financial planning models.
