  • FNCE 925: Topics In Asset Pricing

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    This course will analyze several aspects of liquidity. Mostly, it will concentrate on liquidity as an asset's property of being traded quickly and at low cost, but the notion of availability of cash will also be studied. Particular attention will be devoted to exogenous transaction costs, asymmetricinformation and search frictions as determinants of asset liquidity and, consequently, price. We will also look at liquidity risk, institutional features arising as response to liquidity problems, and financing constraints. The course will concentrate on theoretical models, but the empirical literature will be referred to throughout.

  • FNCE 939: Behavioral Finance

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Prerequisite(s): FNCE 911. There is an abundance of evidence suggesting that the standard economic paradigm-rational agents in an efficient market-does not adequately describe behavior in financial markets. In this course, we will survey the evidence and use psychology to guide alternative theories of financial markets with an eye towards identifying frontiers and opportunities for new research. Along the way, we will address the standard argument that arbitrage will eliminate any distortions caused by irrational investors. Further, we will examine more closely the preferences and trading decisions of individual investors. We will argue that their systematic biases can aggregate into observed market inefficiencies. The second half of the course extends the analysis to corporate decision making. We present the two themes of behaviral corporate finance: rational managers exploiting financial market inefficiencies and managerial decision- making biases. We then explore the evidence for both view in the context of capital structure, investment, dividend, and merger decisions. We emphasize the importance of differentiating the behavioral approach from information models and other more traditional methodology.

  • FOLK 022: World Music and Cultures

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Arts & Letters Sector. All Classes. Muller. This course examines how we as consumers in the "Western" world engage with musical difference largely through the products of the global entertainment industry. We examine music cultures in contact in a variety of ways-- particularly as traditions in transformation. Students gain an understanding of traditional music as live, meaningful person-toperson music making, by examining the music in its original site of production, and then considering its transformation once it is removed, and recontextualized in a variety of ways. The purpose of the course is to enable students to become informed and critical consumers of "World Music" by telling a series of stories about particular recordings made with, or using the music of, peoples culturally and geographically distant from the US. Students come to understand that not all music downloads containing music from unfamiliar places are the same, and that particular recordings may be embedded in intriguing and controversial narratives of production and consumption. At the very least, students should emerge from the class with a clear understanding that the production, distribution, and consumption of world music is rarely a neutral process.
