Continuous time Asset Pricing

Transcription

1 Continuous time Asset Pricing Julien Hugonnier HEC Lausanne and Swiss Finance Institute Winter 2008 Course outline This course provides an advanced introduction to the methods and results of continuous time asset pricing theory. We will cover recent asset pricing models that have been proposed to study and explain the main asset pricing puzzles. Topics will include no arbitrage restrictions on assets prices, complete and incomplete markets equilibrium models, learning, portfolio constraints and non additive preferences such as habit formation or recursive utility. Course requirements The course will consists in seven/eight three hour sessions. In addition to class attendance and participation, the course requirements include problem sets to be handed in and a three hour final examination which will take place place at the end of the course. Problem sets, class participation and the final exam will account for 25%, 5% and 70% of the final grade, respectively. References The course will be for the most part based on original research papers. However, the following basic references might come in handy at some point: 1
