Maurizio Tiso, Review of Financial Studies "Written by the "A" team of financial empiricism, it is a long awaited book. It covers many topics one could only usually find couched in the technical jargon of research papers, presented in this volume with pedagogical intentions.

This book should be made mandatory reading in research departments."
