Abstract

This little book contains a first course in econometric theory. It is based on lectures to second-year undergraduates who have learned some calculus, matrix algebra, and statistics (but no econometrics) in their first year. Two things are essential in such a course. First, a thorough knowledge of the standard linear regression model. And second, a thorough understanding of the principles of maximum likelihood. The book is also suitable as an introduction to econometrics for Masters and PhD students. Jan R. Magnus (1948) studied econometrics and philosophy at the University of Amsterdam. He worked at the universities of Amsterdam, Leiden, and British Columbia, before moving to the London School of Economics in 1981. In 1996 he was appointed Research Professor in Econometrics at Tilburg University. In 2013, he moved to the VU University Amsterdam as Extraordinary Professor in Econometrics. Magnus is (co)author of eight books, and more than one hundred scientific papers.

Abstract

An introduction to economic applications of the theory of continuous-time finance that strikes a balance between mathematical rigor and economic interpretation of financial market regularities. This book introduces the economic applications of the theory of continuous-time finance, with the goal of enabling the construction of realistic models, particularly those involving incomplete markets. Indeed, most recent applications of continuous-time finance aim to capture the imperfections and dysfunctions of financial markets-characteristics that became especially apparent during the market turmoil that started in 2008. The book begins by using discrete time to illustrate the basic mechanisms and introduce such notions as completeness, redundant pricing, and no arbitrage. It develops the continuous-time analog of those mechanisms and introduces the powerful tools of stochastic calculus. Going beyond other textbooks, the book then focuses on the study of markets in which some form of incompleteness, volatility, heterogeneity, friction, or behavioral subtlety arises. After presenting solutions methods for control problems and related partial differential equations, the text examines portfolio optimization and equilibrium in incomplete markets, interest rate and fixed-income modeling, and stochastic volatility. Finally, it presents models where investors form different beliefs or suffer frictions, form habits, or have recursive utilities, studying the effects not only on optimal portfolio choices but also on equilibrium, or the price of primitive securities. The book strikes a balance between mathematical rigor and the need for economic interpretation of financial market regularities, although with an emphasis on the latter.

Abstract

Prix Nobel d’économie, Alvin Roth dévoile les règles surprenantes régissant un vaste nombre d’activités dans lesquelles l’argent ne joue pas ou peu de rôle. C’est le territoire des marchés d’appariement, où « vendeurs » et « acheteurs » doivent se choisir l’un l’autre. Dans cet ouvrage, il révèle les marchés d’appariement cachés autour de nous et nous apprend à reconnaître un bon appariement, pour faire des choix plus avisés. (source: publisher's website)
