Foundations in Financial Economics (Ba5, Fall) with Professor Collin Dufresne. The aim of this course is to expose bachelor students to some of the main areas in financial economics. Students will obtain both practical insights through real-world examples and understand how one can model the main economic trade-offs. The course will be organized around six themes: The time value of money and capital budgeting, the risk/return tradeoff and portfolio choice, Derivatives pricing, Capital structure, Agency relations, and Trading by insiders.
Derivatives (Master in Financial Engineering, Spring). This course provides a detailed treatment of standard models for the valuation and hedging of derivatives products such as European options, American options, forward and futures contracts, and exotics. The course will be divided into two parts with the first part covering discrete time models and the second covering continuous time models.
Dynamic Asset Pricing (EDFI, Spring). This course provides an advanced introduction to the methods and results of dynamic asset pricing in continuous time. Topics include no-arbitrage restrictions on assets prices, portfolio and consumption choice problems, complete and incomplete markets equilibrium models with heterogenous agents, dynamic learning, portfolio optimization under constraints, and non time additive preferences.
