Describes the lives, theories, and legacies of six great minds in
finance who changed the way we look at financial markets and
equilibrium. Bachelier, Samuelson, Fama, Ross, Tobin, and Shiller;
proponents and critics of the market efficiency theories who
redefined modern finance, creating the foundation on which all
financial analysis rests.

This textbook explores sustainability, climate change, and the
corporate responsibility movement from a broad array of
perspectives, including the challenges, risks, and opportunities of
ESG policies, energy and environmental science, economics and
philosophy, and sound public and private sector management. There
is no intergenerational issue that is more pressing than the
challenge of sustainability and climate change. It is a
concern that will only worsen within any reader’s lifetime,
especially if we fail to act. At the same time, there is
growing concern among corporations arising from the Environment,
Social and Governance (ESG) paradigm that includes climate risk,
future profits, and stakeholder expectations. Many of our leading
institutions also increasingly acknowledge a responsibility
for corporate decisions since the onset of the Industrial
Revolution that plays no small role in bringing us to the
existential precipice of our day. This
book  provides necessary tools of
sufficient sophistication to address complex
intergenerational issues, such as global warming, economic justice
and fairness, appropriate intergenerational planning,
sustainable finance, corporate risk management, and governance.
 The book offers a vital resource for students,
shareholders, sustainability practitioners, agencies, and advocates
interested in climate action, intergenerational accountability, and
economic sustainability.Â
This is the seventh book in a series of discussions about the great
minds in the history and theory of finance. While the series
addresses the contributions of scholars in our understanding of
financial decisions and markets, this seventh book describes how
econometrics developed and how its underlying assumptions created
the underpinning of much of modern financial theory. The author
shows that the theorists of econometrics were a mix of
mathematicians and cosmologists, entrepreneurs, economists and
financial scholars. The author demonstrates that by laying down the
foundation of empirical analysis, they also forever determined the
way in which we think about financial returns and the vocabulary we
employ to describe them. Through this volume, the reader can
discover the life stories, inspirations, and theories of Carl
Friedrich Gauss, Francis Galton, Karl Pearson, Ronald Aylmer
Fisher, Harold Hotelling, Alfred Cowles III, Ragnar Frisch, and
Trygve Haavelmo, specifically. We learn how each theorist made an
intellectual leap simply by thinking about a conventional problem
in an unconventional way.
In ten original studies, former students and colleagues of
Maurice Careless, one of Canada's most distinguished historians,
explore both traditional and hitherto neglected topics in the
development of nineteenth-century Ontario. Their papers incorporate
the three themes that characterize their mentor's scholarly
efforts: metropolitan-hinterland relations; urban development; and
the impact of 'limited identities' -- gender, class, ethnicity and
regionalism -- that shaped the lives of Old Ontarians.
Traditional topics -- colonial-imperial tension and the growth
of Canadian autonomy in the Union period, the making of a 'compact'
in early York, politics in pre-Rebellion Toronto, and the social
vision of the late Upper Canadian elites -- are re-examined with
fresh sensitivity and new sources. Maters about which little has
been written -- urban perspectives on rural and Northern Ontario,
Protestant revivals, an Ontario style in church architecture, the
late-nineteenth-century ready-made clothing industry,
Native-Newcomer conflict to the 1860s, and the separate and unequal
experiences of women and men student teachers at the Provincial
Normal school -- receive equally insightful treatment.
An appreciative biography of Careless, an analysis of the
relativism underpinning his approach to national and Ontario
history, and a listing of Careless's publications, complete this
stimulating collection.
International taxation is evolving in response to globalization,
capital mobility, and the increased trade in services, and
introduces international tax practitioner, student and researcher
to the theory, practice, and international examples of the changing
landscape.
Models of tax competition in a flat and connected world are very
different than those necessary to ensure compliance in a world
dominated by cross-border flows of goods and repatriation of
profits. Taxes on consumption, e-commerce, and services are looming
innovations in future of international taxation. Tax coordination
and standardization are immense challenges in a world in which the
movement of value is increasingly subtle and hard to detect. And as
corporations and individuals become more sophisticated in the
internationalization of flows of capital, our models must become
more sophisticated in their scope and inclusion.
In the era when trade was dominated by the exchange of manufactured
goods, international taxation was designed to protect domestic
industries, create tax revenue, prevent evasion, and promote
compliance. The traditional toolbox of customs duties, tariffs, and
taxes on repatriated profits must be augmented as the movement of
goods across borders represents a much smaller fraction of trade
and as international taxation policy is increasingly used to
attract foreign corporations rather than discourage branch offices.
International taxation models that can better tax services, track
international flows of capital, and allow a nation to compete in a
world market for capital formation are the tools of the modern tax
practitioner.
International tax policy is now viewed as an integral part of
economic policy. This approach is bound to accelerate as the world
becomes increasingly flat and better connected. Economic progress
is more and more influenced by the movement of services and
information, movements that are no longer through ports but through
fiber optic lines.
This book contributes to the growing literature on international
taxation by bringing together theory and experience, current
practices and innovation, and our current understanding of some of
the challenges now facing and arguably frustrating current
international taxation policy. The book will create new avenues of
research for scholars, a new awareness for students of
International Taxation, and new possibilities for international tax
practitioners. The models and examples presented here suggest that
there are serious problems with measurability of flows of services
and information, and points to an increasingly need for greater
harmonization of international taxation, perhaps through
coordinated consumption-tax oriented approaches.
* Describe the rapidly evolving role of International Taxation in a
globalizing information economy
* Present theoretical models that act as the basis for successful
international tax competition
* Describe the experiences and innovations of representative
internationalized countries
* Discuss some new approaches to International Taxation
* Makes the case for new models of international taxation in an
increasingly global information world
