The Econometrics of Financial Markets

Review
Written by the “A” team of financial empiricism, it is a long awaited book. It covers many topics one could only usually find couched in the technical jargon of research papers, presented in this volume with pedagogical intentions. The language, while remaining technical, is quite accessible. It can be effortlessly read by scientific traders with standard knowledge of statistical methods. . . . This book should be made mandatory reading in research departments. — Review

Review
The definitive work explaining this complex but important field of academic endeavor. Oh, and by the way, it’s not just academic. The big question that financial econometircs addresses is: What can you learn about the future from the financial data available from the past? This broad issue can be specified in many different ways, and all the important ones are discussed in the book. . . . The vast literature on all the topics examined is assessed, rendered coherent, and then analysed by (more or buy at…)

    Last quartile on the subject
    This book used to be a must the first time it has been published but after ten years it is getting old and the topic is now better covered by some others authors.

    An oldie but goodie
    For the past ten years, this boook was the standard of financial time series and cross sectional analysis.

    Absolutely useless
    I’m not sure what the audience for this extremely poorly written book is. Is it graduate-level students?

    Very Good but Not Enough
    I just used this book in my master in finance course and think its very good but a bit outdated and incomplete.

    A classic book on financial econometrics
    This is really a classic book on financial econometrics. I like the design of the book. The content is also pretty up-to-date.

    estremamente interessante
    E’ probabilmete il più completo manuale di econometrica attualmente reperibile. Sempre preciso e chiarissimo nell’esposizione.

    Difficult but worth it
    It takes time to work yourself through this book. The authors assume a good background in econometric theory. If you take your time though (a lot of time), you will like it.

    Applied Financial econometrics exponent
    It is a good book, but there are some aspects which I find lacking in the book which could be helpful.

    Excellent compendium
    This book is for me an excellent summary and sometimes significant enrichment of knowledge acquired during 5 years economics studies with specialization in financial econometrics.
