In 2011, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that the coastal population of the US that lives within 50 miles of the shoreline exceeded 50 % for the first time in history in spite of a high level of exposure to hurricanes and related flooding. Hurricane Andrew...

Deterministic numerical models for tsunami inundation provide the most accurate means for estimating tsunami run-up when the bathymetry/topography and water-level time history at the seaward boundary are well known. However, it is often the case that there is uncertainty in both the...

Community-scale estimates of building damage and economic loss are modeled for Seaside, Oregon, for Cascadia subduction zone events ranging from 8.7 to 9.3 M<Subscript>W</Subscript> with corresponding slip distances of 3–25 m considering only the effects of the tsunami. Numerical simulations are obtained from the...</subscript>

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the various segments of the managed funds market to establish if there is any significant difference in the way the assets are allocated into various asset categories and if investors base their investment decisions based on the past...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine whether there exist significant benefits from diversification into frontier markets for an Australian investor in comparison to a US investor. Design/methodology/approach – The study uses the computationally efficient ADCC GARCH model to...

In this article we test the weak form of the efficient market hypothesis for Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) equity markets for the period 1999–2009. To test weak-form efficiency in the markets, this study uses autocorrelation analysis runs test and variance ratio test. We find that...
