Spero Consulting

Some posts are silly, but most are seri­ous, and all illus­trate our think­ing and inform about our per­spec­tive: WYSIWYG. If you don’t like our posts, you won’t like us and won’t want to hire us. We think it is an effi­cient screen­ing mechanism.

We have writ­ten exten­sively on the ongo­ing finan­cial cri­sis and gov­ern­ment bailout and have pro­posed a rea­son­able, alter­na­tive pri­vate solu­tion involv­ing a few sim­ple changes in the fed­eral tax code.

Many posts pro­vide exam­ples of con­cepts pre­sented in our essays.

If you’re inter­ested in our control-​related essays and blog posts, we strongly encour­age you to start with Our Con­trol Frame­work. It defines many terms in the tech­ni­cal way that we use them, which may be dif­fer­ent than how the words are used within your own firm or organization.

Those inter­ested in mar­kets and risk man­age­ment should start with Uncer­tainty Man­age­ment, which explains our philosophy.

As time per­mits, we will add more pages of con­tent to our site, but for­tu­nately we have been very busy.

Lately, we’ve posted essays with the other blog mate­r­ial rather than as sta­tic pages, e.g., our many entries on risk neu­tral mod­els and “implied” default rates. They seem to get higher ranks in the search engines as posts rather than pages. Who knew?
