Focusing on coding and data analysis with Python, we show how to conduct research in empirical finance from scratch. We start by introducing the concepts of tidy data and coding principles using pandas, numpy, and plotnine. Code is provided to prepare common open-source and proprietary financial data sources (CRSP, Compustat, Mergent FISD, TRACE) and organize them in a database. We reuse these data in all the subsequent chapters, which we keep as self-contained as possible. The empirical applications range from key concepts of empirical asset pricing (beta estimation, portfolio sorts, performance analysis, Fama-French factors) to modeling and machine learning applications (fixed effects estimation, clustering standard errors, difference-in-difference estimators, ridge regression, Lasso, Elastic net, random forests, neural networks) and portfolio optimization techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSelf-contained chapters on the most important applications and methodologies in finance, which can easily be used for the reader's research or as a reference for courses on empirical finance.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEach chapter is reproducible in the sense that the reader can replicate every single figure, table, or number by simply copying and pasting the code we provide.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA full-fledged introduction to machine learning with scikit-learn based on tidy principles to show how factor selection and option pricing can benefit from Machine Learning methods.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWe show how to retrieve and prepare the most important datasets financial economics: CRSP and Compustat, including detailed explanations of the most relevant data characteristics.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEach chapter provides exercises based on established lectures and classes which are designed to help students to dig deeper.
