In many cases, it is not possible, because, of unfavorable market conditions, to obtain credit from by-product sodium sulfate. It is therefore necessary to use the partial-pressure distillation process, which entails substantially quantitative utilization of both hydrocarbon and acid by repeatedly distilling excess benzene through the acid to remove water azeotropiyally. This basic improvement was made by Guyot as a result of the gre demand for phenol during World War I, and this principle is still usedfo produce much of the benzenesulfonic acid made in the United States for conversion to phenol. In its original form, the process operated on a...

Implied volatility represents a market option about the underlying asset and therefore is forward looking. However, the estimate of implied volatility is conditioned by the choice of other inputs in particular, the credit spread applied in the option-free bond and the conversion premium of the tmderlying asset (Example 9.2). 

Promoting opportunity. Poor people consistently emphasize the centrality of material opportunities. This means jobs credit roads electricity markets for their produce and the schools, water, sanitation, and health services that underpin the health and skills essential for work. Overall economic growth is crucial for generating opportunity. So is the pattern or quality of growth. Market reforms can be central in expanding opportunities for poor people, but reforms need to reflect local institutional and structural conditions.
