To revise the lecture from saturday the suggested readings are, besides what is given in the script, Cochrane (1996) and the chapter 7 in Hayashi (2000) (the reference list).
The first to fourth batches of assignments in "Financial Eonometrics Basic Assignments and Solutions_Empirical_Asset_Pricing.pdf" cover the material of the first lecture. You should also work on the assignments in "Practical_Assignments_GMM_EVIEWS_1.pdf"
14.05.06Assignments "Estimation and testing using scaled factors and scaled returns" (pdf)
