Abstract
We survey the history, market structure, pricing and usage of futures and options contracts. We focus in particular on their ability to provide high-frequency measures of expectations, uncertainty, higher moments, and investor risk aversion. Futures and options are a rich and growing treasure trove of information to academics and policymakers alike.
