Fleming, Wendell Helms, 1994, Functions of Several Variables, Springer 3 Objective In this course we will study the theoretical foundations of modern financial economics. Students should acquire a clear understanding of the major theoretical results concerning individuals consumption and portfolio decisions under uncertainty and their implications for the valuations of securities. 4 Prerequisites As a Ph.D. seminar on asset pricing theory, this course requires fair understanding of the following mathematical and economic concepts at the minimum: Microeconomics: Basics of preferences and utility function, decision-making under uncertainty, competitive equilibrium at the econ-graduate level (Mas-Colell, Whinston, and Green, 1995: Chapters 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 19,20 ) Optimization: Basics of optimization, first-order and second-order conditions, Lagrange method for constrained optimization, at the econ-graduate level (Simon and Blume, 1994: Chapters 16 19; Mas-Colell, Whinston, and Green, 1995: Mathematical Appendix; Varian, 1992: Chapter 27; Duffie, 2001: Appendix B) Calculus and real Analysis: One-variable and multi-variable calculus, basics of difference and differential equations, basics of metric spaces (Any undergraduate-level calculus textbook adopted in a good university; Fleming, 1994: Chapters 1 5; Rudin, 1976: Chapters 1 10; Simon and Blume, 1994: Chapters 2 5, 12-15) 2
3 Probability: Basics of probability theory, expectations, independence, conditioning (Any undergraduate-level probability textbook adopted in a good university; Duffie, 2001: Appendices A, C) Linear Algebra: Matrix operations, vector spaces, projection and orthogonality, (Any undergraduate-level linear algebra textbook adopted in a good university; Simon and Blume, 1994: Chapters 6 11; Varian, 1992: Chapter 26) 5 Structure The course has four parts. The first part covers the single period investment decisions under uncertainty, mean- variance theory, capital market equilibrium, and arbitrage pricing theory. The second and third parts study dynamic investment decisions and equilibrium concept in discrete-time, and in continuous-time, respectively. Finally, the last part consists of student presentation of papers in two recent areas of research in asset pricing: (1) Long-run, consumption-based, asset pricing, and (2) production-based asset pricing. 6 Grading Every week you will have homework assignments from that week s material, and they will be due in the next class. You may work on the homework in groups, but you must hand in your own answers. Homework questions will be graded on a two point scale and they count into 15% of your grade. There will be a closed-book, two-hour, exam at the end of each part (see the tentative schedule). Overall, three exams constitute 3 %15 = %45 of your grade. You are expected to read the reading assignments for a topic beforehand, and actively participate in class discussion. Participation has a 10% weight. Presentations are done during the final week and should accompanied by a short report. Presentation and report counts towards 30% of your grade. 7 Schedule (tentative and subject to change) Note: The mandatory reading for each class is specified by and.
