• Archive: This book is a comprehensive introduction to financial modeling that teaches advanced undergraduate and graduate students in finance and economics how to use R to analyze financial data and implement financial models.
• This text will show students how to obtain publicly available data, manipulate such data, implement the models, and generate typical output expected for a particular analysis.This text aims to overcome several common obstacles in teaching financial modeling.
• First, most texts do not provide students with enough information to allow them to implement models from start to finish.
• In this book, we walk through each step in relatively more detail and show intermediate R output to help students make sure they are implementing the analyses correctly.
• Second, most books deal with sanitized or clean data that have been organized to suit a particular analysis.
