* tests of the Random Walk Hypothesis
* event analysis
* the Capital Asset Pricing Model
* Arbitrage Pricing Theory
* the term structure of interest rates
* dynamic models of economic equilibrium
* nonlinear financial models such as ARCH. [Wang, Peijie (2003)Financial Econometrics: Methods and Models, Routledge]
