{"product_id":"9781530465613","title":"Rate-Of-Return Analytics","description":"An understanding of rates of return and pricing may help savers, investors and businesses better manage their finances and avoid losses. Policymakers may also benefit from rate-of-return-based analytical tools to prevent policy actions from leading to financial crises, worsening poverty and inequality. Drawing from five centuries of economic and financial thought, this book explores a framework in hopes of applying the concept of rates of return to current issues. Asset mispricing can result in unsustainable bubble-crash cycles, financial losses and economic dislocation. In Part II, rates of return on cost (RRC) and returns-to-valuation gaps are computed for publicly-traded non-financial firms in five sectors worldwide with total market capitalization of an estimated U.S. $700 billion as of 2015. The analysis may also apply to individuals: Declining purchasing power may result when consumer prices rise faster than the rate of return on the cost of living. A more general theory of returns-to-pricing may suggest that growth in rates of returns of financial entities should roughly align with pricing growth--in both asset and goods markets. The appendices include additional observations, historical extensions and commentary on analytical approaches for economic management in the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eRaoul Kennedy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eCreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eMar 10, 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e158 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1530465613\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781530465613\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49143815766321,"sku":"9781530465613","price":13.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781530465613__48708_78e54bc3-c54a-429c-ba82-120c113049ae.jpg?v=1716143336","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781530465613","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
