DESCRIPTION
This course covers both theoretical and practical aspects of modern econometric models that are used by financial institutions, investment banks, central banks, governments, think tanks, and other research institutes. The students are introduced to models in Finance that feature nonlinearities, time-varying parameters and latent variables. In particular, the students learn how to design, implement, estimate and analyze both observation-driven and parameter-driven models. Finally, from a practical perspective, the students also learn how to use these models in Finance to calculate important risk measures and design optimal portfolios.
