Mean-Variance

Dead!

Prepared for a whole week, just leave this out.

"Apply a second-order Taylor Series expansion of E[u(W)] around initial wealth, under N-asset case portfolio selection in mean-variance framework"

Can anyone show me?

A Librarian recommendation

Today, when I am hanging around in library, someone asks me how to find a book (with call number). To be exact, it is how to locate it. She said this is her first time, and keep on saying sorry to have my time. Finally, I point her to the right place.

A moment later, I am stopped by a freshman, who asks me how to use the DVD player. I turn on the power for him, and everything goes fine with him.

Do I look like a Librarian?

Anyway, a good book is found. To put it simply, it emphasizes intuition, and is written for advance undergraduates and postgraduates. LSE Prof. really means something. Highly recommended by me, a pseudo librarian.

Microeconomics by Frank Cowell









A sample chapter is available here.

And one of the best features is, all questions with answer provided. Excellent for self-study.
