literature

This section of the website contains a list to all the literature referenced in the book Microfoundations of Asset Pricing Theory, ordered according to the chapters of the text, and with links to online versions of these items where available. This should help instructors collect material for a reader accompanying their course, and it helps students collect the relevant literature on their own. Not all pieces of literature are available online, though, and many require a subscription to the respective journal, to JSTOR, or to the NBER working paper series. I have linked books to the respective publisher’s website, from where most books can be ordered. Where no publisher website is available I provide a link to amazon.com.

Please let me know if you find a broken link on this page (and if you know, please let me know what the correct link is :-).
