Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

“The 2,400 definitions in the Encyclopedia of Finance … could stand alone as a valuable reference for both practitioners and academics. … this excellent reference is targeted at university, corporate, and finance department libraries. With so much terminology to master in the increasingly complex field of finance, the Encyclopedia of Finance constitutes a valuable resource for those in need of a quick definition or formula as well as a vehicle for those wishing to dig more deeply into any of a wide range of topics.” (Ronald L. Moy, CFA Institute, cfapubs.org, February, 2014)

“It is aimed at … students and researchers and lecturers ‘as supplementary material’. … Every essay has a bibliography worth pursuing. … There is a comprehensive subject index … and an author index for those interested in citations and references. … for courses and research where a wide range of quantitative advice and methodology needs to be on show, it containsa wealth of useful and indicative material. For the specialist, then, worth the outlay.” (Stuart Hannabuss, Reference Reviews, Vol. 27 (7), 2013)
