John Campbell, one of the field's most respected authorities, introduces students to leading theories of portfolio choice, their implications for asset prices, and empirical patterns of risk and return in financial markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCampbell emphasizes the interplay of theory and evidence, as theorists respond to empirical puzzles by developing models with new testable implications. Increasingly these models make predictions not only about asset prices but also about investors' financial positions, and they often draw on insights from behavioural economics. After a careful introduction to single-period models, Campbell develops multiperiod models with time-varying discount rates, reviews the leading approaches to consumption-based asset pricing, and integrates the study of equities and fixed-income securities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe discusses models with heterogeneous agents who use financial markets to share their risks but also may speculate against one another on the basis of different beliefs or private information. Campbell takes a broad view of the field, linking asset pricing to related areas, including financial econometrics, household finance, and macroeconomics. The textbook works in discrete time throughout and does not require stochastic calculus. Problems are provided at the end of each chapter to challenge students to develop their understanding of the main issues in financial economics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most comprehensive and balanced textbook on asset pricing available, \u003cem\u003eFinancial Decisions and Markets\u003c\/em\u003e will be an essential resource for all graduate students in finance and related fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIntegrated treatment of asset pricing theory and empirical evidence\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEmphasis on investors' decisions\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBroad view linking the field to areas including financial econometrics, household finance, and macroeconomics\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTopics treated in discrete time, with no requirement for stochastic calculus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSolutions manual for problems available to professors\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46481686823148,"sku":"9780691160801","price":99.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1595153482434.jpg?v=1748210930"},{"product_id":"fixed-by-tarun-ramadorai-9780691263298","title":"Fixed","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo leading economists reveal why today's personal finance markets are rigged against us and offer practical steps to fix them.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe interact with the financial system every day, whether taking out or paying off loans, making insurance claims, or simply depositing money into our bank accounts. \u003cem\u003eFixed\u003c\/em\u003e exposes how this system has been corrupted to serve the interests of financial services providers and their cleverest customers at the expense of ordinary people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Campbell and Tarun Ramadorai diagnose the ills of today's personal finance markets in the United States and across the globe, looking at everything from short-term saving and borrowing to loans for education and housing, financial products for retirement, and insurance.
