"QFE is a clear, up-to-date text on the application of econometric techniques to the analysis of financial markets. What is particually good about this book is that it combines a very lucid explanation of the relevant economic theories, a precise description of the econometric issues involved in their analysis and an admirably succinct account of the evidence from the best work in the field."

Professor of Finance, Tanaka Business School, Imperial College, London and Managing Director and Chief Economist, Morgan Stanley.
