Recenzje

'Introductory Econometrics for Finance covers a variety of financial applications and illustrates how econometrics methods can be used for each topic. Researchers and practitioners in finance will find this book invaluable. The new fourth edition is expanded with important topics of state space models and extreme value theory. Moreover, a free companion website with various software programs is essential for performing actual empirical analysis. I constantly recommend this text to Masters and undergraduate finance students.' Elena Goldman, Pace University, New York
