Dozierende | Dietmar Maringer (dietmar.maringer@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn) |
Inhalt | Many topics in finance have strong quantitative components, including analytical, empirical, and numerical aspects. This course focuses on the latter. Topics may include (but are not limited to) * financial modelling (assets, markets), * asset pricing (including lattice methods, Monte Carlo methods), * risk management and portfolio optimization, * trading strategies (static and dynamic, low- and high-frequency). There will be a strong hands-on component: We will implement numerous concepts and ideas using Matlab. |
Lernziele | Being able to implement financial concepts using Matlab and being able to solve quantiative problems in finance. |
Literatur | Handouts will be provided via Adam. There is no designated textbook, but quite a few books participants might find helpful. These include: * A Arratia, Computational Finance: An Introductory Course with R, Atlantis Press 2012. * P Brandimarte, Numerical Methods in Economics and Finance, Wiley, 2nd ed, 2006. * P Brandimarte, Handbook in Monte Carlo Simulation: Applications in Financial Engineering, Risk Management, and Economics, Wiley 2014. * K Cuthbertson and D Nitzsche, Quantitative Financial Economics, Wiley, 2nd ed., 2004. * JC Duan, WK Härdle, JE Gentle (eds), Handbook of Computational Finance, Springer 2014. * G Fusai, A Roncoroni, Implementing Models in Quantitative Finance: Methods and Cases, Springer 2008. * P Glasserman, Monte Carlo Methods in Finance and Engineering, Springer 2003.
