What Ruined the Big Three
Saturday, March 6th, 2010
A quick description of the events that brought America’s Big Three automakers to their knees. First, they had to assume responsiblities assumed by governments in other developed countries. Second, they were not quick enough to respond to changing demands, causing them to lose market share to the Japanese. Having lost market share but having assumed responsbilities usually shouldered by governments, they were preassured for money and neglected R&D, engaged in badge engineering. Third, they did not prepare for the end of cheap gas and the SUV craze – Toyota did, and, despite exploiting the SUV craze as well, prepared by fostering a green image through bringing cars like the Prius to the market, even though they were not profitable in the short run.

23. Options Markets
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
Financial Markets (ECON 252)
Options introduce an essential nonlineary into portfolio management. They are contracts between buyers and writers, who agree on exercise prices and dates at which the buyer can buy or sell the underlying (such as a stock). Options are priced based on the price and volatility of the underlying asset as well as the duration of the option contract. The Black-Scholes options pricing model is one of the most famous equations in finance and offers a useful first approximation for prices for option contracts. Options exchanges and futures exchanges both are involved in creating a liquid and transparent market for options. Options are not just for stocks; they are also important for other asset classes, such as real estate.
