Genre: Political Science
ISBN:

Salins argues that assimilation is part of a larger American social compact that has flourished throughout our history, and to abandon it now would destroy the foundations of our prosperity, our social cohesion, and, ultimately, American culture itself. He shows how successive immigrant populations have become Americanized, despite being considered "alien" in their time-notably, the Germans, Irish, Italians, and Jews-and how assimilation continues to work today among Hispanics and Asians. The book sheds light on the threats to assimilation from the left (multiculturalism) and the right (nativism), revealing the perilous consequences of each.

This study extends the Hull and White (1993) binomial method to construct a trinomial model for the valuation of American-style warrants whose strike price can be reset to a new price level. The reset criteria is conditioned upon the average underlying asset price hitting the reset barrier in a specifiedperiod although the model proposed can accomodate other features. We investigate the difference between a daily reset warrant and a period-average reset warrant and also that the number of time steps between observations affects the value of American-style average price options and period-average reset options.
