|
Financial Management, or Corporate Finance, is a fundamental course to bring students into the world of Finance. It focuses on how companies invest and how they raise the money to pay for these investments. This course will cover the topics of the analysis of financial ratios, cash flow management, capital budgeting, financing dedicions and liability management, captial structrue and divident policy, real option and financial planning, and mergers and acquisions. Harvard cases will be covered to enhance the applicable essence of theroies learned from Finance textbooks in class to the real world. The course is designed to categorize the subjects outlined above into five Modules based on Harvard cases in order to capture the core factors of Fiancial Management. |

Behavioral Finance
|
3
|
Classic finance theory rests on an important assumption that agents behave rationally. However, extant empirical literature demonstrates that it fails to explain some stylized facts observed in financial markets. A growing number of researchers have argued that a critical reason for this is primarily due to the inappropriateness of the rationality assumption. From the perspective of behavioral finance, in this course we attempt to figure out how various cognitive biases affect agents’ behavior in making their decisions in the real financial markets. |

Financial Engineering

|
This course of Financial Engineering is the combination of three fields: finance, computer science, and mathematics. It is the major goal of this course that students will practice to solve many finance-related problems via computer programming. The students who want to take this course are required to have prior knowledge in financial theory (especially about the derivatives) and the basic ability of computer programming (or can be learned yourself via assigned homework). Nevertheless, some background knowledge will still be reviewed in the class, such as the option pricing theory, the term structure of interest rates, the stochastic process, some basic numerical methods, the concept of data structure in computer programming, etc. The pricing algorithms or methods for various exotic options will be emphasized in this course, for example, Asian options, Barrier options, Lookback options, Convertible Bonds, Rainbow options, etc. It is my hope that you will learn many financial theories |
