| Inhalt | This course will not be taught in-class any more. But the course material will be provided digitally. This course was part of the curriculum of the master's program according to the old study regulations (before Fall term 2021). Therefore, no in-class lecture will be offered this semester, but primarily the exam. And this is mainly intended for those students who have already attended the lecture in the last semesters and just need the exam. 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 |
