This rigorous textbook introduces graduate students to the principles of
econometrics and statistics with a focus on methods and applications in
financial research. Financial Econometrics, Mathematics, and
Statistics introduces tools and methods important for both finance and
accounting that assist with asset pricing, corporate finance, options
and futures, and conducting financial accounting research.
Divided into four parts, the text begins with topics related to
regression and financial econometrics. Subsequent sections describe
time-series analyses; the role of binomial, multi-nomial, and log normal
distributions in option pricing models; and the application of
statistics analyses to risk management. The real-world applications and
problems offer students a unique insight into such topics as
heteroskedasticity, regression, simultaneous equation models, panel data
analysis, time series analysis, and generalized method of moments.
Written by leading academics in the quantitative finance field, allows
readers to implement the principles behind financial econometrics and
statistics through real-world applications and problem sets. This
textbook will appeal to a less-served market of upper-undergraduate and
graduate students in finance, economics, and statistics.
