Stochastic discount factor models: Equity premium and volatility puzzles Affine and cash-in-advance models Value at risk: Monte Carlo simulation, bootstrapping. Market microstructure: FX markets, technical trading, chartism Calibration, regime switching, data snooping, non-linear models.

The authors provide theories and tests of competing ideas in financial markets using examples from the stock, bond and foreign exchange markets. Emphasis is placed on how models inform real-world decisions, making this book accessible to both students and quants practitioners studying the behaviour of asset returns and prices.

"In general the book is well written with a lucid exposition and Cuthbertson is eager on giving intuitive explanations whenever possible. Thus students and empirical researchers in macroeconomics and finance will undoubtedly find the book very valuable."
