Specifically financial modelling (to be used at a job in construction industry - mostly road construction). Thanks. post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.70605 Sat, 01 Sep 2007 16:15:18 -0800 barrakuda projectfinance financialmodelling construction http://ask.metafilter.com/70605/Project-Finance#1053550 <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0874208947/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">This</a> might have some useful parts. It discusses the finance of real estate development. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.70605-1053550 Sat, 01 Sep 2007 21:18:38 -0800 salvia http://ask.metafilter.com/70605/Project-Finance#1053558 Project Finance, as it is presented in business school, is generally taught in an emerging markets context using a broad finance text (such as <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/007325858X/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">Higgins</a>, or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0073130826/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">Brealy and Myers</a>) and a handful of cases.<br> <br> I'd suggest performing a web search for project finance (and international finance) professors at finance schools (Wharton, Columbia, Chicago, Stern), and calling them with a pile of humility. I'd guess that one in two will return your call or email. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.70605-1053558 Sat, 01 Sep 2007 21:36:20 -0800 Kwantsar
