Review
'New finance studies will like this book.

International Journal of Finance & Economics
'This is an excellent textbook of econometrics for students of finance at the undergraduate as well as postgraduate levels. … I consider this to be an excellent textbook of econometrics for the students as well as the practitioners in the area of finance.' Indian Journal of Statistics

Product Description
This is the first textbook to teach introductory econometrics to finance majors. The text is data- and problem-driven, giving students the skills to estimate and interpret models, whilst having an intuitive grasp of the underlying theoretical concepts. The approach of Dr Brooks, based on the successful course he teaches at the Cass Business School, one of Europe's leading business schools, ensures that the text focuses squarely on the needs of finance students, including advice on planning and executing a project in empirical finance. The book assumes no prior knowledge of econometrics, and covers important modern topics such as time-series forecasting, volatility modelling, switching models and simulation methods. It includes detailed examples and case studies from the finance literature. Sample instructions and output from two popular and widely available computer packages (EViews and WinRATS) are presented as an integral part of the text.

Format:Paperback
This is the book I would recommend for every student who wants to start using econometrics in finance. From OLS regressions to Garch and Markov-switching models, this book covers a lot of key econometric materials. It's short, very clear and well-written. It is the best introductory book to financial econometrics I've read so far (and it is only the first edition). The first part of the book (on the OLS model) can be read by students who have no particular background in econometrics. The second part of the book (mainly on time series models) is very convenient for final year BSc / 1st year MSc students in finance. Math is used only when it is strictly required. Focus is really placed on the intuition behind the model. There are a lot of finance papers that are discussed (related to the author's work) and a lot of detailed applications using Eviews and RATS (with a nice and short introduction to these softwares in chapter 1). The programs are available free on the editor's website while the data are NOT! (Datastream did not want the data to be downloadable free of charge). That's why I do not give 5 stars to the book. Note that there is nothing about intraday data and market microstucture.

Excellent book. If you never dealt with econometrics before - this is the best starting point. Author develops intuition - not just states and proves formulas. Highly recommend. This is the only book in econometrics which got me interested in the subject.

This was my coursebook of financial econometrics at Financial Engineering master program in Bogazici University. Chris's Book is one of the best in financial econometrics. Detailed but clear explanations to the hard concepts. The web site of this book is also very beneficial.
