Handbook of Research Methods and Applications in Empirical Finance

Intended primarily for doctoral researchers and academics, this handbook is highly practical and uses a ＂cookbook＂ approach with plenty of data and real-world examples. Some chapters are literature reviews with an emphasis on the research designs; others are worked examples of key techniques. Material is arranged in sections on asset pricing and investments, derivatives, banking and microstructure, corporate finance, and risk modeling. The three editors are affiliated as follows: Adrian R. Bell and Chris Brooks (U. of Reading, UK) and Marcel Prokopczuk (Zeppelin U., Germany).
