The global value of trading in index futures is about $20 trillion per year and rising and for many countries the value traded is similar to that traded on their stock markets. This book describes how index futures markets work and clearly summarises the substantial body of international empirical evidence relating to these markets. Using the concepts and tools of finance, the book also provides a comprehensive description of the economic forces that underlie trading in index futures. Stock Index Futures 3/e contains many teaching and learning aids including numerous examples, a glossary, essay questions, comprehensive references, and a detailed subject index. Written primarily for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, this text will also be useful to researchers and market participants who want to gain a better understanding of these markets.

This is an open access book. In the current situation of rapid economic development, the competition in the market is increasingly fierce. The drawbacks of traditional enterprise management and the backward management concept have seriously hindered the normal development of enterprises. In order to improve their competitive advantages and market share, enterprises must optimize their management methods and build a modern business administration system. In this situation, enterprises can only promote their development process by improving their business management mode and formulating scientific business management policies. Data science is one of the most important tools for optimizing business administration. Data science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract value from data. Data scientists use a combination of skills (including statistics, computer science and business knowledge) to analyze data collected from the Web, smartphones, customers, sensors and other sources. Data is the cornerstone of innovation, and data scientists gather information from data, discovering hidden trends from raw data and generating insights that companies can use to transform business problems into research projects that can then be translated back into practical solutions. Based on this, BADS 2023 discusses the state of modern business administration and the corresponding improvement measures in the context of the current reality, and It also provides a platform for scholars in related fields to exchange and share information, discuss how the two affect each other, and promote the modernization of business administration by studying certain business administration issues. To open new perspectives, broaden horizons, and examine the issues being discussed by the participants. Create an international-level forum for sharing, research and exchange that will expose participants to the latest research directions, results and content in different fields, thus inspiring them to come up with new research ideas.

How much does speculation contribute to oil price volatility? We revisit this contentious question by estimating a sign-restricted structural vector autoregression (SVAR). First, using a simple storage model, we show that revisions to expectations regarding oil market fundamentals and the effect of mispricing in oil derivative markets can be observationally equivalent in a SVAR model of the world oil market à la Kilian and Murphy (2013), since both imply a positive co-movement of oil prices and inventories. Second, we impose additional restrictions on the set of admissible models embodying the assumption that the impact from noise trading shocks in oil derivative markets is temporary. Our additional restrictions effectively put a bound on the contribution of speculation to short-term oil price volatility (lying between 3 and 22 percent). This estimated short-run impact is smaller than that of flow demand shocks but possibly larger than that of flow supply shocks.

This is the first major treatment of the effects of increased transparency on financial markets: an important and highly controversial issue for both traders and regulators. Focussing on three main themes - market transparency, the consolidation-fragmentation of trading systems, and the scope of regulation (i.e. which markets, and which traders within those markets, should be subject to regulation), the book highlights the importance of these issues to all markets throughout the world. The book draws on research from eight UK based investment exchanges, Deutsche Borse in Frankfurt and documentary evidence from the US markets and their regulators enabling the identification and documentation of the current situation and consideration of what fresh regulatory approaches are required for this new and fast evolving situation.

This book discusses how this impacts public policy objectives and how market governance could be strengthened.
