Reviews

“This ebook on financial microeconometrics is an excellent starting point for research in accounting and corporate finance. In my view; the textbook is positioned between a narrative and a scientific treatise. It is based on a vast amount of literature but is not overloaded with formulae. My appreciation of financial microeconometrics has very much increased. The ebook is very well organized and properly written. I enjoyed reading it.” – Wolfgang Marty; Senior Investment Strategist; AgaNola AG
