A comprehensive guide to financial econometrics
Financial econometrics is a quest for models that describe
financial time series such as prices, returns, interest rates, and
exchange rates. In Financial Econometrics, readers will be
introduced to this growing discipline and the concepts and theories
associated with it, including background material on probability
theory and statistics. The experienced author team uses real-world
data where possible and brings in the results of published research
provided by investment banking firms and journals. Financial
Econometrics clearly explains the techniques presented and provides
illustrative examples for the topics discussed.
