ECON 4858 - Financial Econometrics
Primary Instructor - Fall 2018 / Fall 2019 / Fall 2020 / Fall 2021 / Fall 2023
Introduces statistical models, estimation and testing procedures used in analyzing financial data for advanced undergraduates. Topics include the modeling of returns, portfolio theory, the capital asset pricing model, options pricing and fixed income securities. Recommended prerequisite: ECON 4818. -
ECON 7818 - Introduction to Probability and Asymptotic Theory
Primary Instructor - Fall 2018 / Fall 2019 / Fall 2020 / Fall 2021 / Fall 2022 / Fall 2023 / Fall 2024
Introduces fundamental concepts and results from probability and asymptotic theory needed for a rigorous study of the limiting behavior of estimators and test statistics that emerge from the study of statistical/econometric models. Topics include the construction of probability measures, abstract integration, conditional expectation, stochastic convergence, laws of large numbers and central limit theorems. Instructor consent required. -
ECON 8828 - Econometric Theory 1
Primary Instructor - Fall 2022
