# Have Goldman Sachs Quantitative Strategies Research Notes been published as a book or a comprehensive collection?

Back in the 90's, Goldman Sachs (publicly?) released a series called "Quantitative Strategies Research Notes" — mostly technical papers on topic. Emanuel Derman co-authored almost all of them.

Some of them are available online:

But 15 more papers are apparently missing.

Did anyone see them published, perhaps, as a book? Or just a comprehensive collection?

• Anton I edited the question by inserting the moneyscience link in which should be listed all references! – Quantopik Jun 18 '15 at 22:20
• This is actually a very good question. I have access to the GS quant research database and they are not even available there (just checked). – vonjd Jun 19 '15 at 8:10

Many of them are on my website at emanuelderman.com. Others I probably have anyway. Feel free to email me

• Is it really you, THE Emanuel Derman? it is a great honour to have you here! A very warm welcome to you! :-) – vonjd Jun 19 '15 at 13:20
• A great honour indeed, welcome to Quant.SE, Emanual Derman! – Bob Jansen Jun 19 '15 at 14:04

I had read some of them; actually, it does not exist an on-line library that collected them (or, better, it existed here, but it seems the website does not work anymore).

I reported here below some of them that you did not find:

Those are ones I read and I know, while, here below, you can find other papers of that series:

Emanuel Derman and Joe Zou, “Is the Volatility Skew Fair?” Goldman Sachs Quantitative Strategies Research Notes, 1997.

EDIT: the moneyscience provides a list of them, but I'm not sure about its completeness.

Hope this helps.

• Thanks for the qs link! A 2001 snapshot is available via archive.org : web.archive.org/web/20010207223703/http://www.gs.com/qs . (I think you could add it to your answer.) These are excellent papers, although not the series I mentioned. After your link to Moneyscience, I also added the latest list of the series to my question (it seems to be more complete than that of Moneyscience). Thanks again! – Anton Tarasenko Jun 18 '15 at 22:46
