Empirical asset pricing

Description

"This book, written by two experts in the field (including a renowned Nobel Prize Laureate), represents an up-to-date compilation of empirical asset pricing theory and their techniques and application"-- ""Bali, Engle, and Murray have produced a highly accessible introduction to the techniques and evidence of modern empirical asset pricing. This book should be read and absorbed by every serious student of the field, academic and professional." - Eugene Fama, Robert R. McCormick Distinguished Service Professor of Finance, University of Chicago and 2013 Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences "The empirical analysis of the cross-section of stock returns is a monumental achievement of half a century of finance research. Both the established facts and the methods used to discover them have subtle complexities that can mislead casual observers and novice researchers. Bali, Engle, and Murray's clear and careful guide to these issues provides a firm foundation for future discoveries." - John Campbell, Morton L. and Carole S.^ Olshan Professor of Economics, Harvard University "Bali, Engle, and Murray provide clear and accessible descriptions of many of the most important empirical techniques and results in asset pricing." - Kenneth R.
