Wiley, 2008. - 430 pages. For well over a decade, econometrics has been one of the major routes into finance. I took this route myself several years ago. Starting an academic career as an algebraist, I then had a brief encounter with game theory before discovering that the skills of an econometrician were in greater demand. I would have found econometrics much more boring than algebra or game theory had it not been for the inspiration of some gr...
