Financial Risk Measurement and Management

Edited by Francis X. Diebold, University of Pennsylvania, US

'I have always thought authoritative lists such as "100 books you should read" are fascinating. So it is great to also have such a list available in one's professional field. Professor Diebold's book does just that; it compiles his list of academic research articles one should know in risk measurement and management. Through his central position in financial econometrics, based on his own extensive research, Professor Diebold is one of the few who can make such a list. . . Professor Diebold's fascinating compilation summarizes the history of risk management research, focussing on research prior to the global financial crisis.'
