Sommario/riassunto

An edited compilation of articles that focus on using financial engineering - a multidisciplinary field that uses technical methods from the fields of finance, mathematics and economics - to design financial services for low-income households. The book aims to provide an understanding of the various risk-reward trade-offs facing low-income households and how principles of financial engineering can be best applied to understand and manage the complete suite of financial and non-financial assets, including human capital, insurance, annuities and loans.
