This question is becoming increasingly urgent to answer as we face diminishing fossil-fuel resources and the effects of a changing climate while global cities continue to compete to be the most vibrant centers of culture, knowledge, and finance. Jan Gehl has been examining this question since the 1960s, when few urban designers or planners were thinking about designing cities for people. But given the unpredictable, complex and ephemeral nature of life in cities, how can we best design public infrastructure—vital to cities for getting from place to place, or staying in place—for human use? Studying city life and understanding the factors that encourage or discourage use is the key to designing inviting public space. In How to Study Public Life Jan Gehl and Birgitte Svarre draw from their combined experience of over 50 years to provide a history of public-life study as well as methods and tools necessary to recapture city life as an important planning dimension. This type of systematic study began in earnest in the 1960s, when several researchers and journalists on different continents criticized urban planning for having forgotten life in the city. City life studies provide knowledge about human behavior in the built environment in an attempt to put it on an equal footing with knowledge about urban elements such as buildings and transport systems. Studies can be used as input in the decision-making process,  as part of overall planning, or in designing individual projects such as streets, squares or parks. The original goal is still the goal today: to recapture city life as an important planning dimension. Anyone interested in improving city life will find inspiration, tools, and examples in this invaluable guide.EcologyDesignArchitectureBuildingsUrban ecology (Biology)Environmental SciencesDesignBuilding Types and FunctionsUrban EcologyEcology.Design.Architecture.Buildings.Urban ecology (Biology)Environmental Sciences.Design.Building Types and Functions.Urban Ecology.307.1/216Gehl Janauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut34650Svarre Birgitteauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910437947703321How to Study Public Life2504126UNINA07644nam 22022813a 450 991034666070332120250203235429.09783038974444303897444710.3390/books978-3-03897-444-4(CKB)4920000000095060(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/58518(ScCtBLL)ae509f96-c818-4002-9d17-d0ff91099ca8(OCoLC)1126139455(oapen)doab58518(EXLCZ)99492000000009506020250203i20192019 uu engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierRisk Measures with Applications in Finance and EconomicsMichael McAleer, Wing-Keung WongMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute2019Basel, Switzerland :MDPI,2019.1 electronic resource (536 p.)9783038974437 3038974439 Risk measures play a vital role in many subfields of economics and finance. It has been proposed that risk measures could be analysed in relation to the performance of variables extracted from empirical real-world data. For example, risk measures may help inform effective monetary and fiscal policies and, therefore, the further development of pricing models for financial assets such as equities, bonds, currencies, and derivative securities.<false,>A Special Issue of "Risk Measures with Applications in Finance and Economics" will be devoted to advancements in the mathematical and statistical development of risk measures with applications in finance and economics. This Special Issue will bring together the theory, practice and real-world applications of risk measures. This book is a collection of papers published in the Special Issue of "Risk Measures with Applications in Finance and Economics" for Sustainability in 2018.risk assessmentVIXbusiness groupsSHAREasymptotic approximationEuropean stock marketswhole life insurancedynamic hedgingrisk-neutral distributioncooperative banksData Envelopment Analysis (DEA)group-affiliatedearly warning systemfactor modelssmoothing processGMCfalsified productsS&P 500 index optionscredit derivativescorporate sustainabilityterm life insurancerisk managementcrude oilfinancial stabilitysocial efficiencydynamic conditional correlationemerging marketout-of-sample forecastfinancial crisisbinomial treenews releasegreen energyperceived usefulnessBayesian approachtwo-level optimizationprobability of defaultbank riskSYMBOLinformation asymmetryCoVaRprobabilistic cash flowjaponica rice productionbank profitabilityMonte Carlo Simulationsgain-loss ratiocoherent risk measuresMezzanine Financingnational health systemoption valueconscientiousnessonline purchase intentionSlovak enterprisesspot and futures pricesliquidity premiuminstitutional voidsutilityrandom forestsbankruptcyoptimizing financial modelsustainable food security systemdynamic panelco-dependence modellingfinancial performancetime-varying correlationsProject Financingfuture health riskgeneralized autoregressive score functionsvolatility spilloversfinancial riskssimulationslife insuranceemotionfinance riskmarkov regime switchingdiversificationproduction frontier functionGranger causalityhealth riskrisks mitigationreturns and volatilitysadnesslow-income countrythe sudden stop of capital inflowbank failureChina’s food policyobjective health statusIPO underpricingpolarityclimate changestock return volatilitysentiment analysisempirical processfull BEKKstochastic frontier modelperceived ease of usevolatility transmissionopenness to experiencesustainabilitylow carbon targetsquasi likelihood ratio (QLR) testbanking regulationsustainable developmentspecification testingfossil fuelstime-varying copula functiontree structuresmonthly CPI datacoalcartelregular vine copulassustainability of economic recoveryANNEGARCH-mfinancial securityleniency programfinancial hazard mapuncertainty terminationcausal pathstakeholder theorytechnological progressbankinginvestment horizonregression modeltwo-level CES functionjoythe optimal scale of foreign exchange reservecarbon emissionsstochastic volatilityB-splinesself-perceived healthsovereign credit default swap (SCDS)RV5MINutility maximizationcredit riskpolicy simulationsocially responsible investmentportfolio selectionscientific verificationEuropean banking systemrisk-free ratewild bootstrapmedicationinvestment profitabilityAmihud’s illiquidity ratiomultivariate regime-switchinginflation forecastrisk aversionmarket timingneed hierarchy theoryvariancediagonal BEKKconjugate priorriskmoving averagesfinancial riskrisk measuresMcAleer Michael118641Wong Wing-KeungScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346660703321Risk Measures with Applications in Finance and Economics4319538UNINA
