The econometric analysis of hedge fund returns

an errors-in-variables perspective

In this book, we present several new empirical models and new estimation methods for financial models of returns. Our new empirical models are based on a generalized version of the Hausman test using higher moments and cumulants. Our methods rely on higher moments and cumulants ...

The development and testing of Heckscher-Ohlin trade models

No names are more closely associated with modern trade theory than Eli Heckscher and Bertil Ohlin. The basic Heckscher-Ohlin proposition, according to which a country exports factors in abundant supply and imports factors in scarce supply, is a key component of modern trade theory. In ...

Mostly harmless econometrics

an empiricist's companion

The core methods in today's econometric toolkit are linear regression for statistical control, instrumental variables methods for the analysis of natural experiments, and differences-in-differences methods that exploit policy changes. In the modern experimentalist paradigm, these techniques address clear causal questions such as: Do smaller ...

In Financial Econometrics, readers will be introduced to this growing discipline and the concepts and theories associated with it, including background material on probability ...

The refinement of econometric estimation and test procedures

finite sample and asymptotic analysis

The small sample properties of estimators and tests are frequently too complex to be useful or are unknown. Much econometric theory is therefore developed for very large or asymptotic samples where it is assumed that the behaviour of estimators and tests will adequately represent their ...

The econometrics of individual risk

credit, insurance, and marketing
