Undergraduate, as well as beginning graduate, students should find the wide range of topics covered useful for not only getting a good toehold into the literature, but also to be able to apply the methods to data right away.'

'This new edition of Introductory Econometrics for Finance manages to give even further strength to its exhaustive, fine blend of contents and delivery, of methods and of interesting, relevant applications. This classical but always lively written textbook manages to make modern econometric approaches accessible to a wide audience of senior undergraduates and of graduate students first approaching econometrics, and at the same time leads a more experienced reader to ponder the power of statistics through a number of detailed case studies. The additional, advanced material on the Kalman filter and extreme value theory makes this textbook an invaluable classroom tool for a first approach to financial econometrics.' Massimo Guidolin, Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi, Milan
