Summary:"Laurent Calvet and Adlai Fisher show in this book that a simple class of models efficiently captures seemingly disparate aspects of financial market returns. Inspired by earlier uses of multifractals in the natural sciences, the authors construct multifrequency regime-switching models that are convenient to estimate, provide excellent volatility forecasts and easily integrate into asset pricing applications."--BOOK JACKET.
