Angebotsmuster Jedes Herbstsemester
Dozierende Tim Kröncke (t.kroencke@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn)
Inhalt We will study the time-series properties of the aggregate stock market and cross-sectional behaviour of individual stocks; how to implement an event study to measure the effect of an economic event on the broad market or the value of a company; empirical capital structure research, IPOs, financial distress of firms.
Lernziele This course covers important and controversial topics in empirical finance. First, we will survey empirical facts and then implement tests of theories to understand the facts. We will cover topics in asset pricing as well as corporate finance. Lectures are on every Monday. Tuesdays, we will meet in the computer laboratory and you will learn step by step how to implement workhorse methods in finance using Matlab. We will work with measures of the aggregate stock market as well as a large dataset of individual firms (CRSP/COMPUSTAT). The focus is on the stock market, however, topics related to bond markets and FX markets may be covered as well (if time permits).

We will spend a lot of time using the software Matlab. I strongly recommend that you visit the introduction to Matlab in the week before the beginning of the semester (see homepage Quantitative Methoden -> Vorkurs: Arbeiten mit wissenschaftlicher Software).
