New Technologies, Old Ideas, and the Dynamics of Public Policy. 330 $aEnergy policies that promote new technologies and energy sources are policies for the future. They influence the shape of emergent technological systems, and also condition our social, political and economic lives. Solar Energy, Technology Policy, and Institutional Values demonstrates the difficulties of deliberating such properties by providing a historical case study that analyses US renewable energy policy from the end of World War II through the energy crisis of the 1970s. The book illuminates the ways beliefs and values come to dominate official problem frames and get entrenched in institutions. In doing so it also explains why advocates of renewable energy have often faced ideological opposition, and why policy makers fail to take them seriously. 517 3 $aSolar Energy, Technology Policy, & Institutional Values 606 $aSolar energy 606 $aEnergy policy 615 0$aSolar energy. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 676 $a333.792/3 700 $aLaird$b Frank N.$01029075 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455330503321 996 $aSolar energy, technology policy, and institutional values$92445324 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02705oam 2200601I 450 001 9910465183503321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-429-09240-7 010 $a1-4398-1250-0 024 7 $a10.1201/9781439812525 035 $a(CKB)2560000000251375 035 $a(EBL)1633442 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001111124 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11622344 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001111124 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11129550 035 $a(PQKB)11215443 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1633442 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1633442 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11167357 035 $a(OCoLC)908079117 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000251375 100 $a20180706d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aStochastic finance $ea numeraire approach /$fby Jan Vecer 205 $aFirst edition. 210 1$aBoca Raton, FL :$cCRC Press, an imprint of Taylor and Francis,$d2011. 215 $a1 online resource (339 p.) 225 1 $aChapman and Hall/CRC Financial Mathematics Series 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-138-11641-6 311 $a1-4398-1252-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aCover; Title; Copyright; Contents; Introduction; Chapter 1: Elements of Finance; Chapter 2: Binomial Models; Chapter 3: Diffusion Models; Chapter 4: Interest Rate Contracts; Chapter 5: Barrier Options; Chapter 6: Lookback Options; Chapter 7: American Options; Chapter 8: Contracts on Three or More Assets: Quantos, Rainbows and "Friends"; Chapter 9: Asian Options; Chapter 10: Jump Models; Appendix A: Elements of Probability Theory; Solutions to Selected Exercises; References 330 3 $aUnlike much of the existing literature, Stochastic Finance: A Numeraire Approach treats price as a number of units of one asset needed for an acquisition of a unit of another asset instead of expressing prices in dollar terms exclusively. This numeraire approach leads to simpler pricing options for complex products, such as barrier, lookback, quanto, and Asian options. Most of the ideas presented rely on intuition and basic principles, rather than technical computations. 410 0$aChapman & Hall/CRC financial mathematics series. 606 $aFinance 606 $aStochastic analysis 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFinance. 615 0$aStochastic analysis. 676 $a332.01/51922 700 $aVecer$b Jan$0888024 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465183503321 996 $aStochastic finance$91983596 997 $aUNINA
