Time horizonA time horizon, also known as a planning horizon, is a fixed point of time in the future at which point certain processes will be evaluated or assumed to end. It is necessary in an accounting, finance or risk management regime to assign such a fixed horizon time so that alternatives can be evaluated for performance over the same period of time. Although short term horizons such as end of day, end of week, end of month matter in accounting, generally it is mere summing-up and the simplest mark to market processes that take place at these short term horizons.
Modified internal rate of returnThe modified internal rate of return (MIRR) is a financial measure of an investment's attractiveness. It is used in capital budgeting to rank alternative investments of equal size. As the name implies, MIRR is a modification of the internal rate of return (IRR) and as such aims to resolve some problems with the IRR. While there are several problems with the IRR, MIRR resolves two of them. Firstly, IRR is sometimes misapplied, under an assumption that interim positive cash flows are reinvested elsewhere in a different project at the same rate of return offered by the project that generated them.
Inversion de la courbe des tauxL'inversion de la courbe des taux (ou inversion de la courbe des rendements) est un phénomène macroéconomique qui se caractérise par des taux d'intérêt de long terme qui deviennent moins élevés que des taux d'intérêt de court termes. Cette situation, exceptionnelle, se produit dans les mois qui précèdent une récession économique. Afin de se financer sur les marchés financiers, les États peuvent émettre des titres de dette publique sous forme d'obligations.
Capital économique (sociologie)Le capital économique est l’ensemble des ressources économiques d'un individu, c'est-à-dire à la fois ses revenus et, au sens large, son patrimoine. Le un concept de sociologie a été popularisé par Pierre Bourdieu. Dans La Distinction, le sociologue Pierre Bourdieu cherche à expliquer la place des individus dans l'espace social. Il considère que toute individualité est dotée de trois types de capitaux : le capital social, le capital culturel, et le capital économique. Les trois types de capitaux coexistent et peuvent interagir.
Risk neutral preferencesIn economics and finance, risk neutral preferences are preferences that are neither risk averse nor risk seeking. A risk neutral party's decisions are not affected by the degree of uncertainty in a set of outcomes, so a risk neutral party is indifferent between choices with equal expected payoffs even if one choice is riskier. In the context of the theory of the firm, a risk neutral firm facing risk about the market price of its product, and caring only about profit, would maximize the expected value of its profit (with respect to its choices of labor input usage, output produced, etc.
Markowitz modelIn finance, the Markowitz model ─ put forward by Harry Markowitz in 1952 ─ is a portfolio optimization model; it assists in the selection of the most efficient portfolio by analyzing various possible portfolios of the given securities. Here, by choosing securities that do not 'move' exactly together, the HM model shows investors how to reduce their risk. The HM model is also called mean-variance model due to the fact that it is based on expected returns (mean) and the standard deviation (variance) of the various portfolios.
Managerial financeManagerial finance is the branch of finance that concerns itself with the financial aspects of managerial decisions. Finance addresses the ways in which organizations (and individuals) raise and allocate monetary resources over time, taking into account the risks entailed in their projects; Managerial finance, then, emphasizes the managerial application of these finance techniques and theories.
ÉconophysiqueL'éconophysique ou économie physique est un domaine de recherche scientifique multidisciplinaire qui se propose de résoudre des problèmes économiques en appliquant des méthodes et théories développées pour expliquer des phénomènes physiques complexes relevant notamment de la physique statistique. Les banques centrales avec des modèles stochastiques dynamiques d'équilibre général et les sociétés d'investissement sont les premières à tirer parti des avancées de cette discipline.
Automated trading systemAn automated trading system (ATS), a subset of algorithmic trading, uses a computer program to create buy and sell orders and automatically submits the orders to a market center or exchange. The computer program will automatically generate orders based on predefined set of rules using a trading strategy which is based on technical analysis, advanced statistical and mathematical computations or input from other electronic sources. These automated trading systems are mostly employed by investment banks or hedge funds, but are also available to private investors using simple online tools.
