An inside look at modern approaches to modeling equityportfolios
Financial Modeling of the Equity Market is themost comprehensive, up-to-date guide to modeling equity portfolios.The book is intended for a wide range of quantitative analysts,practitioners, and students of finance. Without sacrificingmathematical rigor, it presents arguments in a concise and clearstyle with a wealth of real-world examples and practicalsimulations. This book presents all the major approaches tosingle-period return analysis, including modeling, estimation, andoptimization issues. It covers both static and dynamic factoranalysis, regime shifts, long-run modeling, and cointegration.Estimation issues, including dimensionality reduction, Bayesianestimates, the Black-Litterman model, and random coefficientmodels, are also covered in depth. Important advances intransaction cost measurement and modeling, robust optimization, andrecent developments in optimization with higher moments are alsodiscussed.
