Book Description

This volume offers a comprehensive guide to market-based pricing strategies. The authors present pricing as a relatively simple but extremely powerful marketing tool--a creative variable that managers can manipulate to accomplish a wide variety of ends. Arguing that companies must move away from the traditional, short-term, reactive methods relied upon to set and manage prices, the authors call for a systematic, strategic and market-based approach to the pricing problem. Their central unifying theme is that pricing begins and ends with the customer and that every pricing action should be part of a larger pricing program built around the realities of customer needs and competitor pressures. ...

Book Description

The book is the first one to analyse the "Equity Premium Puzzle" and the "Risk-free Rate Puzzle" in the German capital market. It starts with a thorough discussion of the available theoretical models and then goes on to perform various empirical studies, applying two recent approaches for the empirical investigation of intertemporal asset pricing models, the variance bound approach and the calibration approach. The book provides insights into the basic mechanisms of intertemporal equilibrium asset pricing models derived from the consumption and investment choice of individuals. It shows that with reasonable and not very complicated modifications of the standard intertemporal equilibrium models, especially with recursive preferences, important properties of German rates of return can be explained. The book adds much to the understanding of intertemporal asset pricing and recursive preferences and at the same time points to various directions for future research. ... Read more

From the author: When assessing the economic effects of monetary policy, economists have, until recently, emphasized the role of unanticipated changes in policy. But are these policy shocks likely to be the most important influence on the economy? Mike Dotsey believes not. It seems more likely that the Fed's systematic behavior plays a bigger part in what happens in the U.S. economy. In this article, Dotsey explains the ways in which systematic policy influences economic activity.
