This book presents a set of lectures on Python programming for economics and finance. The lecture describes important ideas in economics that use the mathematics of geometric series. Linear algebra is one of the most useful branches of applied mathematics for economists to invest in. For example, many applied problems in economics and finance require the solution of a linear system of equations. In this lecture we will cover the basics of linear and matrix algebra, treating both theory and computation. We admit some overlap with this lecture, where operations on NumPy arrays were first explained. Note that this lecture is more theoretical than most, and contains background material that will be used in applications as we go along. In an earlier lecture on Pandas, we looked at working with simple data sets. Econometricians often need to work with more complex data sets, such as panels. Common tasks include: - Importing data, cleaning it and reshaping it across several axes. - Selecting a time series or cross-section from a panel. - Grouping and summarizing data. Pandas (derived from ‘panel’ and ‘data’) contains powerful and easy-to-use tools for solving exactly these kinds of problems.

This book presents a set of lectures on Python programming for economics and finance. This is the first text in the series, which focuses on programming in Python. Python is a general-purpose language used in almost all application domains such as: communications, web development, CGI and graphical user interfaces, game development, resource planning, multimedia, Data Science, security, etc., etc., etc. For reasons we will discuss, Python is particularly popular within the scientific community and behind many scientific achievements in: Space Science, Particle Physics, Genetics and practically all branches of academia. Meanwhile, Python is also very beginner-friendly and is found to be suitable for students learning programming and recommended to introduce computational methods to students in fields other than Computer Science. Python is also replacing familiar tools like Excel as an essential skill in the fields of finance and banking.

This book explores how decentralized finance (DeFi) can disrupt traditional centralized finance including the business areas of insurance companies, banks, money markets, and bonds. DeFi is not a company or a single product, rather it is a collection of products or services. As part of the Ethereum ecosystem, DeFi services are provided as Decentralized Applications (dApps), which require smart contracts to lock in assets for processing transactions. Changing consumer expectations, the availability of affordable technologies, and entrepreneurial drive create space for DeFi. Geopolitical crises and trust deterioration exacerbate the need. This book explains the concept of DeFi, the technological opportunities, the current reality and status quo of business transactions, and demonstrates the potential for future use and the eventual transformation of the financial industry. It further provides a comprehensive analysis of the real-world applications of DeFi, the Decentralized Ledger Technology (DLT), and digital assets, as well as their potential risks to consumers and financial institutions to bankers, managers, investors, and policymakers. A blockchain is a digital ledger that is a record of multiple transactions that are shared, replicated, and distributed among a large network of nodes in order to keep track of each other. The blocks that make up the blockchain all store a different volume of transactions, and for every new transaction that is processed on the blockchain, a record of that transaction will be added to the ledger as it is recorded in the blockchain.

Beginner-friendly information you need to successfully manage finances in a not-for-profit organization. Nonprofit Bookkeeping & Accounting For Dummies is a helpful guide for anyone who is responsible for financial and accounting operations in nonprofit organizations or needs to read and understand a nonprofit financial statement. It includes information on the basics of nonprofit bookkeeping, general nonprofit accounting principles, basic financial statements, and specific laws and regulations that govern the accounting of nonprofit organizations. With the simple guidance in this book, you'll learn how to keep accurate books in accordance with state and federal laws, even if your professional background isn't in finance. Counting the money in your wallet or purse is an act of accounting. And if you ever make a note of how much you have, you’re performing a bookkeeping function. You count things all the time in everyday life without thinking twice about accounting. For example, you count the plates before setting the table at home. You count the number of emails you receive while you’re out of the office. Even a gesture such as looking at your watch and thinking about how much time you have before your next appointment is a form of accounting.

An accessible and comprehensive overview of the economic theory and the realities of networks written by a pioneering economics researcher. Networks are everywhere: the infrastructure that brings water into our homes, the social networks made up of our friends and families, the supply chains connecting cities, people, and goods. These interconnections contain economic trade-offs: for example, should an airline operate direct flights between cities or route all its flights through a hub? Viewing networks through an economics lens, this textbook considers the costs and benefits that govern their formation and functioning.

In a pre-industrial world, storage could make or break farmers and empires alike. How did it shape the Roman empire? The Socio-Economics of Roman Storage cuts across the scales of farmer and state to trace the practical and moral reverberations of storage from villas in Italy to silos in Gaul, and from houses in Pompeii to warehouses in Ostia.
