Christoph Winter – författare

Foreword This is the second title in a series which is aimed at giving access as widely as possible to the results of our research into construction business management. We wish to express our gratitude to Gabler to have put their faith in us. Christoph Winter, who was the first research assistant to join the newly created chair, combines knowledge and practical experience of Anglo-Saxon construction management with awareness of the German construction environment. The Anglo­ Saxon countries have not experienced a period of reconstruction, as has occurred after the reunification of Germany, and have thus experienced life-threatening competition much earlier. Contractors in offering producer-led and collaborative procurement have developed instruments to strengthen their competitive position. These are the thoughts that this work now introduces into Germany. As a true compendium this work is not only directed upstream at the client, but also downstream, adopting a resource orientated look at integrating subcontractors and other suppliers most effectively into the supply chain, in order to facilitate contractor-led procurement in the first place, despite the difficulties of seasonal one-off and prototype production at ever changing locations. Midstream relationships in form of collaborative working or partnering are being considered as well.

"Der Kompass der Nordfriesen" befasst sich aus raumlinguistischer Perspektive mit der sprachlichen Kodierung absoluter Orientierung am Beispiel der Himmelsrichtungen und Richtungspartikeln im Nordfriesischen. Maßgeblich inspiriert wurde diese Arbeit von Lokalisationen wie del tod Nôarden (''runter nach Norden''), ep jitter Horbel ta (''rauf nach Horsbüll'') oder Det wiar de Hukstuul üüb e Waastereeg faan e Boosel (''Das war der Eckstuhl auf der Westseite des Tischs''), die aus der standardsprachlichen Perspektive des Hochdeutschen Fragen aufwerfen: Heißt es nicht ''rauf nach Norden''? Wieso ist Horsbüll oben, obwohl das Kirchspiel weniger als 1 m über dem Meeresspiegel liegt, und warum kann die Position von Möbeln mit Himmelsrichtungen beschrieben werden, wenn laut gängiger Lehrmeinung nur geographische oder größere immobile Objekte auf diese Weise lokalisiert werden? Christoph Winter legt dar, dass nordfriesische Lokalisationen wie die genannten Angaben durch ein absolutes Orientierungsvermögen ihrer Urheber ermöglicht wurden, das auf der charakteristischen Topographie Nordfrieslands sowie auf davon abhängigen siedlungsstrategischen Traditionen beruhte.Unterstützt durch die Akademie der Wissenschaften in Hamburg.

Many mathematical assumptions on which classical derivative pricing methods are based have come under scrutiny in recent years. The present volume offers an introduction to deterministic algorithms for the fast and accurate pricing of derivative contracts in modern finance. This unified, non-Monte-Carlo computational pricing methodology is capable of handling rather general classes of stochastic market models with jumps, including, in particular, all currently used Lévy and stochastic volatility models. It allows us e.g. to quantify model risk in computed prices on plain vanilla, as well as on various types of exotic contracts. The algorithms are developed in classical Black-Scholes markets, and then extended to market models based on multiscale stochastic volatility, to Lévy, additive and certain classes of Feller processes. This book is intended for graduate students and researchers, as well as for practitioners in the fields of quantitative finance and applied and computational mathematics with a solid background in mathematics, statistics or economics.​
