Description This collection of original articles—8 years in the making—shines a bright light on recent advances in financial econometrics. From
a survey of mathematical and statistical tools for understanding nonlinear Markov processes to an exploration of the time-series evolution
of the risk-return tradeoff for stock market investment, noted scholars Yacine Aït-Sahalia and Lars Peter Hansen benchmark the current
state of knowledge while contributors build a framework for its growth. Whether in the presence of statistical uncertainty or the proven
advantages and limitations of value at risk models, readers will discover that they can set few constraints on the value of this long-awaited
volume.
