Heard on The Street
Author: Timothy Falcon Crack
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781991155481
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
[Warning: Do not buy an old edition of Timothy Crack's books by mistake. Click on the Amazon author page link for a list of the latest editions .] THIS IS A MUST READ! It is the first and the original book of quantitative questions from finance job interviews. Painstakingly revised over 30 years and 25 editions, Heard on The Street has been shaped by feedback from hundreds of readers. With well over 75,000 copies in print, its readership is unmatched by any competing book. The revised 25th edition contains 242 quantitative questions collected from actual job interviews in investment banking, investment management, and options trading. The interviewers use the same questions year-after-year, and here they are with detailed solutions! This edition also includes 267 non-quantitative actual interview questions, giving a total of more than 500 actual finance job interview questions. Questions that appeared in (or are likely to appear in) traditional corporate finance or investment banking job interviews are indicated with a bank symbol in the margin (72 of the 242 quant questions and 196 of the 267 non-quant questions). This makes it easier for corporate finance candidates to go directly to the questions most relevant to them. Most of these questions also appeared in capital markets interviews and quant interviews. So, they should not be skipped over by capital markets or quant candidates unless they are obviously irrelevant. There is also a recently revised section on interview technique based on feedback from interviewers worldwide. The quant questions cover pure quant/logic, financial economics, derivatives, and statistics. They come from all types of interviews (corporate finance, sales and trading, quant research, etc.), and from all levels of interviews (undergraduate, MS, MBA, PhD). The first seven editions of Heard on the Street contained an appendix on option pricing. That appendix was carved out as a standalone book many years ago and it is now available in a recently revised edition: "Basic Black-Scholes." Dr. Crack did PhD coursework at MIT and Harvard, and graduated with a PhD from MIT. He has won many teaching awards, and has publications in the top academic, practitioner, and teaching journals in finance. He has degrees/diplomas in Mathematics/Statistics, Finance, Financial Economics and Accounting/Finance. Dr. Crack taught at the university level for over 25 years including four years as a front line teaching assistant for MBA students at MIT, and four years teaching undergraduates, MBAs, and PhDs at Indiana University. He has worked as an independent consultant to the New York Stock Exchange and to a foreign government body investigating wrong doing in the financial markets. He previously held a practitioner job as the head of a quantitative active equity research team at what was the world's largest institutional money manager.

A Primer on Microeconomics, Second Edition, Volume I
Author: Thomas M. Beveridge
Publisher: Business Expert Press
ISBN: 163157728X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
This two-volume text represents a common sense approach to basic microeconomics. Economics, far from being the dismal science, offers us valuable lessons that can be applied to our everyday experiences. At its heart, economics is the scientific study of choice and a study of economic principles allows us to achieve a more informed understanding of how we make our choices, whether these choices occur in our everyday life or in our work environment. Volume One, Elements and Principles, delivers clear statements of essential economic principles, supported by easy to understand examples, and uncluttered by extraneous material; the goal is to provide a concise readable primer that covers the fundamentals of microeconomic theory. The text looks at opportunity cost; the rationale for trade; the efficient operation of competitive markets; and develops and expands the economist’s basic demand and supply model.
