Book excerpt: One of the functions of the International Narcotics Control Board is to provide an annual report to the United Nations on the implementation of article 12, paragraph 13 of the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988. The Board monitors the implementation of this Convention by international governments, examining control measures over illicit substances, and assessing whether other substances require international control. Where necessary the Board assists governments in verifying the legitimacy of individual transactions involving precursors or essential chemicals to prevent their diversion into illicit traffic. From the information provided by governments the INCB has established a databank, which can be used as a tool to help governments prevent the distribution of precursor and essential chemicals and their illicit manufacture of such drugs as amphetamine t-type stimulants, cocaine, heroin, MDMA and LSD

Book excerpt: Praise for the first edition: "The Handbook is a comprehensive treatment of literature synthesis and provides practical advice for anyone deep in the throes of, just teetering on the brink of, or attempting to decipher a meta-analysis. Given the expanding application and importance of literature synthesis, understanding both its strengths and weaknesses is essential for its practitioners and consumers. This volume is a good beginning for those who wish to gain that understanding." —Chance "Meta-analysis, as the statistical analysis of a large collection of results from individual studies is called, has now achieved a status of respectability in medicine. This respectability, when combined with the slight hint of mystique that sometimes surrounds meta-analysis, ensures that results of studies that use it are treated with the respect they deserve....The Handbook of Research Synthesis is one of the most important publications in this subject both as a definitive reference book and a practical manual."—British Medical Journal When the first edition of The Handbook of Research Synthesis was published in 1994, it quickly became the definitive reference for researchers conducting meta-analyses of existing research in both the social and biological sciences. In this fully revised second edition, editors Harris Cooper, Larry Hedges, and Jeff Valentine present updated versions of the Handbook's classic chapters, as well as entirely new sections reporting on the most recent, cutting-edge developments in the field. Research synthesis is the practice of systematically distilling and integrating data from a variety of sources in order to draw more reliable conclusions about a given question or topic. The Handbook of Research Synthesis and Meta-Analysis draws upon years of groundbreaking advances that have transformed research synthesis from a narrative craft into an important scientific process in its own right. Cooper, Hedges, and Valentine have assembled leading authorities in the field to guide the reader through every stage of the research synthesis process—problem formulation, literature search and evaluation, statistical integration, and report preparation. The Handbook of Research Synthesis and Meta-Analysis incorporates state-of-the-art techniques from all quantitative synthesis traditions. Distilling a vast technical literature and many informal sources, the Handbook provides a portfolio of the most effective solutions to the problems of quantitative data integration. Among the statistical issues addressed by the authors are the synthesis of non-independent data sets, fixed and random effects methods, the performance of sensitivity analyses and model assessments, and the problem of missing data. The Handbook of Research Synthesis and Meta-Analysis also provides a rich treatment of the non-statistical aspects of research synthesis. Topics include searching the literature, and developing schemes for gathering information from study reports. Those engaged in research synthesis will also find useful advice on how tables, graphs, and narration can be used to provide the most meaningful communication of the results of research synthesis. In addition, the editors address the potentials and limitations of research synthesis, and its future directions. The past decade has been a period of enormous growth in the field of research synthesis. The second edition Handbook thoroughly revises original chapters to assure that the volume remains the most authoritative source of information for researchers undertaking meta-analysis today. In response to the increasing use of research synthesis in the formation of public policy, the second edition includes a new chapter on both the strengths and limitations of research synthesis in policy debates

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the latest innovations in asset management that has rapidly increased in popularity in recent years is the so-called '130/30 strategy'. Through a combination of leverage and short selling this strategy enables portfolio managers to underweight unattractive securities to a much bigger extent than it is possible with long-only portfolios. This book analyzes the performance of 130/30 and other active extension portfolios that are built according to a quantitative security selection model using typical value fundamentals, such as the dividend yield or the price-to-earnings ratio. In comparison to the benchmark and traditional long-only portfolios the 130/30 strategy does outperform the former two over a 15-year time period from 1993 to early 2008, even after accounting for costs. When analyzing the risk-adjusted returns in more detail it becomes obvious that a 130/30 strategy is an especially promising alternative to passive or active long-only investment strategies in rather weak market phases as they were present during the early years of this decade. That is why a dynamic strategy that switches between 130/30, long-only and index depending on the respective market phase is analyzed as well. When using for example an autoregressive model to select the appropriate strategy such a dynamic approach delivers significantly higher returns than a static active extension portfolio does.
