BEM 113 - Financial Markets Laboratory

Institution:

California Institute of Technology

Subject:

Business Economics and Management

Description:

Financial economics is rather abstract and mathematical, and its value is difficult to ascertain from merely observing real-world financial markets, which operate in a complex environment where many key variables either remain unobserved or cannot be measured reliably. In this class, students will learn about the theories of asset pricing, options, investments performance evaluation, corporate finance, and banking/insurance through participation in a series of online market games. Grading will be based on a mixture of trading performance, written and oral reports. Instructor: Bossaerts.
