Financial Economics Textbooks I have an interest in financial economics, and I plan to take the graduate sequence, however I did not take an undergraduate course in that field. I would really appreciate it if someone could recommend a textbook for financial economics. I would prefer the book involved calculus, so I can get the fundamentals of problems (such as asset pricing) I may see in the future.

Two books which have been recommended to me are: "The Economics of Financial Markets" by Roy E. Bailey and "Principles of Financial Economics" by LeRoy and Werner. Are either of these worth reading?
The recommended books are decent. From these two I'd go with Bailey first and if you're comfortable with that, then LeRoy &amp; Werner. The latter requires some background in linear algebra and optimization theory.

If you want to study some econometric applications for financial economics, you might try:
