Summary

Written and edited by leading, international experts in the field, Handbook of Modeling High-Frequency Data in Finance presents cutting-edge developments in high frequency financial econometrics, spanning a diverse range of topics: stochastic modeling, statistical analysis of high-frequency data, models in econophysics, applications to the analysis of high-frequency data, and systems and complex adaptive systems in finance, among others. By using examples derived from consulting projects, current research, and course instruction, each chapter offers practitioners a systematic understanding of the recent advances in high-frequency modeling related to real-world situations.
