Introductory Econometrics for Finance (Broché)

A complete econometrics resource for finance students, this textbook presents the most common empirical approaches in finance in a comprehensive and well-illustrated manner. It shows how econometrics is used in practice, and includes detailed case studies to explain how the techniques are used in relevant financial contexts. Maintaining the accessible prose and clear examples of the previous editions, the fourth edition of this best-selling textbook provides support for the main industry-standard software packages, expands the coverage of introductory mathematical and statistical techniques into two chapters for students without prior econometrics knowledge, and includes a new chapter on advanced methods for those looking to extend their understanding.
New material on state space models and the Kalman filter, extreme value theory for value at risk modelling, and the generalised method of moments, ensures that students hove all the tools they need to conduct sophisticated empirical work in finance. Learning outcomes, key concepts and end-of-chapter review questions (with full solutions online) highlight the main chapter takeaways and allow students to self-assess their understanding.
Online resources include extensive teacher and student support material with software guides for EViews, Stata, R and Python.
