ECO 2601H - Financial Economics

Institution:

Yeshiva University

Subject:

Economics (Undergrad Men)

Description:

This course is an overview of the theory of financial markets from an economic perspective. The objective is to understand how social interaction in financial markets brings about opportunities for individuals but also risks which go beyond physical or technological uncertainty and create systemic effects on economic and financial variables. The major conceptual tool that we will use to study these phenomena is the notion of economic equilibrium. Our analysis of finance uses the modern theory of microeconomics. It aims at constructing (relatively simple) mathematical models to study the welfare properties of financial markets, and the implications for asset prices.
