Product Description
Review
"This is an excellent book that introduces financial asset pricing theory as a natural extension of microeconomic and general equilibrium theory. The exposition of classic and recent results is clear, thorough and accessible to any economist or graduate student who has a good grounding in microeconomic theory. Having mastered this material the reader is well equipped to tackle the many variations of asset pricing models in the literature." --Frank Milne, Queen's University, Professor of Economics and Finance "This book is ideally suited to students wishing to gain a deeper understanding of the basic concepts of financial economics beyond those presented in a typical MBA program without having to deal with unnecessary mathematical details. The exposition is superb and enriching of intuition. The book, written by two of the professions leading experts, is unique." -- Rajnish Mehra, Professor of Finance, University of California, Santa Barbara

Format:Hardcover
Have recently completed my MA Financial Engineering and found this book a absolute gem. Easy, concise explanations and detailed mathematical instructions made this book 'central' to my core finance module. A vast wealth of information for those who may not have had in-depth mathematics prior to their post-grad Finance course, and equally, is a great reference book for those versed in mathematics. Could not have passed my mods without it!

Accurate title for an excellent book
5 Nov 2003
Format:Hardcover
This book does admirably what it sets out to do - provide a bridge between MBA-level finance texts and PhD-level texts. While the mathematical prerequisites are relatively limited (comfort with matrices and Lagrangians), they may not be in the toolkit of most MBAs. (Note that many books claim to require little prior mathematical training, but this one actually does so.)
This book may be a good one for Ph.D students outside finance who need some basic training in financial theory or for those looking for a more user-friendly introduction to advanced theory.
The exercises are very good. There are some typographical errors but no more than typical for this kind of book.

Bad fonts
6 Sep 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book is very good, we are adopting it for our Financial Microeconomics lecture next semester in Universidad del Rosario (Bogotá). However I have strong complaints about the Kindle edition since fonts are very bad. The worst is that math characters are not uniform, many of them are much bigger than the text characters. Additionally zooming only works for some of the math characters. I have many other books in pdf format in my Kindle and they work much much better than those I have in the Kindle format.

Will provide you the tools to understanding financial theory
3 Dec 2008
Format:Hardcover
This book follows the structure of Huang & Litzenberger but in a language more familiar to M.A. students. Furthermore, it is a pleasure to read. It includes the most important results in modern finance to fully understand investment decisions.
It is the perfect textbook for a first graduate course in finance. This is a "must have" for anyone interested in the field.
