Rezensionen

'Financial Econometrics: Models and Methods is an excellent book that provides rigorous and advanced econometric methods for testing financial theories. The book is very well structured and easy to follow. The author has successfully managed to simplify the theory of these methods, which makes the book highly recommended not only for Master's students, but also for practitioners who might be interested in using up-to-date econometric techniques for financial data analysis.'
