The abundance of high-frequency financial data and the rapid development of computer hardware have combined to transform financial economics into, arguably, the most empirically oriented field within the social sciences. At the same time, as a result of the difficulty of conducting genuine market experiments, empirical finance remains firmly grounded in the tradition of model-driven statistical inference that is characteristic of economics. Even so, the richness of data has often spurred a…

Dynamic Factor Models: A Review of the Literature
In the last few years, the growth in the amount of economic and financial data available has prompted econometricians to develop or adapt new methods enabling them to summarise efficiently the…
What we have learnt from financial econometrics modeling
A central issue around which the recent growth literature has evolved is that of financial econometrics modeling. Expansions of interest in the modeling and analyzing of financial data and the…
COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS
The efficient markets theory reached the height of its dominance in academic circles around the 1970s. Faith in this theory was eroded by a succession of discoveries of anomalies, many in the 1980s,…
An introduction to financial econometrics
This simple question does not have a simple answer. The boundary of such an interdisciplinary area is always moot and any attempt to give a formal definition is unlikely to be successful. Broadly…
Nonlinear analysis of financial indexes: comparing behaviors of developed and developing markets
Abstract The efficient market model has been questioned. In econometric, efficient markets are those that have no linear correlation. A lack of linear correlation is not sufficient, since the return…
A Review of: “Book Review: Empirical Dynamic Asset Pricing”
Financial econometrics—the use of statistical tools applied to inference, hypothesis testing, and forecasting with models of financial data – has undergone a deep revolution over the past two…
The Economics of Financial Markets
The Economics of Financial Markets presents a concise overview of capital markets, suitable for advanced undergraduates and for beginning graduate students in financial economics. Following a brief…

The paper discusses a number of trends in the use of macro-economic models for acquiring information about the macro-economy. It is argued that a fundamental distinction should be drawn between…

Measuring the Predictable Variation in Stock and Bond Returns
Recent studies show that when a regression model is used to forecast stock and bond returns, the sample R [superscript 2] increases dramatically with the length of the return horizon. These studies…
