Strong emphasis is placed on the use of linear relationships, regression analysis, and optimization techniques. Analytical skills are developed through the use of various computer-based tools. This course examines the role and structure of financial institutions in global economies.
Students gain knowledge through the use of models that simulate asset and liability management.
Students also explore new applications and innovations in multinational hedging, borrowing, investing, interest rate risk management and product development. Previous work in financial modeling and derivatives are applied to complex current topics. 756.732 Econometrics Students are given a comprehensive introduction to econometric modeling.
