| Inhalt | The course part “Macroeconomics” is held in the first half of the semester until April 12, 2022, the course part “Finance” follows from April 19, 2022 until the end of the semester. Course outline Part Macroeconomics: The largest part of the course Macroeconomics focuses on modern theories of macroeconomic fluctuations. Modern macroeconomics is built explicitly on microeconomic foundations. That is, the modern study and analysis of macroeconomics begins by considering how the microeconomic units, namely consumers and firms, in an economy make their decisions and then considers how the choices of these great many individuals interact with each other to yield economy-wide outcomes. We will also introduce financial markets in our model and discuss intertemporal choices. In the last part of this course, we will focus the long-run by analyzing models of economic growth. Course outline Part Finance The lecture provides an overview on some of the key topics of the theory of finance 1) Capital market under certainty: Consumption, investment, economic growth, and interest rates; Fisher separation and economic implications 2) Capital market under uncertainty: Consumption-based pricing, risk aversion, state (SDF) valuation, CAPM, arbitrage pricing with applications to options 3) Corporate financial decisions: Capital structure and cost of capital, Modigliani-Miller, contingent-claim analysis of corporate securities, over- and underinvestment, real options, pecking order theory, payout decisions |
