Financial Economics
The main focus of the course Financial Economics is on topics related to Mathematical Finance. The course will introduce students to fundamental ideas and tools developed in this field. A central goal is to demonstrate the use of these tools in contexts where they are indispensable and widely exploited. A remarkable feature of Mathematical Finance is that its theoretical highlights (such as the Black-Scholes formula) turned out to be extremely important in practice. They have created new markets essentially based on concepts developed by academics. The course will expose students to quantitative techniques and theory that will be useful to any actor in the financial industry - a portfolio manager, a risk management consultant, or a financial analyst.
