Thus students and empirical researchers in macroeconomics and finance will undoubtedly find the book very valuable." Tom Engsted, Aarhus School of Business, Aarhus, Denmark Review of 1st edition in Journal of Finance (53(1), pp. 417-420): "I found the book accessible and informative on a variety of topics.
