3 Prescribed Textbook: Bailey, R. E. The Economics of Financial Markets, Cambridge University Press, The course will refer closely to the chapters in this book. Hence, it is important that you devote time each week to study the relevant chapter material. Other Useful References: Cuthbertson, K. and Nitzsche, D., Quantitative Financial Economics: Stocks, Bonds and Foreign Exchange, Second Edition, John Wiley & Sons, New York, Elton, E. J. and M. J. Gruber, Modern Portfolio Theory and Investment Analysis, Wiley, 6th edition, Other additional reading will be given as the course progresses. Page 3 of 18
4 Course Materials: All lecture notes and tutorial sheets will be available from the subject homepage which can be accessed through the LMS system. It is the responsibility of each individual to print these out BEFORE coming to the relevant lecture. Please check regularly for updates to the bulletin board. Tutorials: There will be a one hour tutorial a week, in which the previous week s lectures will be revised in the context of exercises. ALL students are required to attempt these exercises BEFORE coming to the tutorial. There will be answer guidelines provided for all the exercises after the relevant tutorial. However, these guidelines are brief and do not substitute for attendance at the tutorials. Moreover, it s important to understand HOW to do the exercises and not to memorise the answers. Since tutorial participation is compulsory and contributes to 10% of your final mark, it is expected that you will have a good understanding of the answers before you get them! Page 4 of 18
5 Assessment: A 2-hour end-of-semester examination (70% of the final mark). A mid-semester multiple-choice test to be taken in the lectures (10% of your final mark). There will be feedback given on this test in the tutorials. A short assignment to be completed during the course of the semester (10% of your final mark). Active participation in tutorials, including formal group presentations of relevant exercises (10% of your final mark). Page 5 of 18
6 Course Outline: This course is a combination of principle and practice: it provides an overview of the economic principles governing financial markets and provides insights into some important theoretical, empirical and practical issues concerning the operation of financial markets. The approach taken allows an introduction to important applied work in the economic journal literature. Much of this applied work is grounded in some fairly intuitive ideas and the aim is that by the end of the course, students should feel quite comfortable in approaching the original sources in a meaningful way. In addition, through the tutorials, the multiple choice test and the compulsory assignment, students will be required to use quantitative skills to address and increase their understanding of the empirical issues and problems in the economics of finance literature. Hence, students should emerge from the course with an understanding of: how economic theory applies to financial markets; how economic theory imposes testable restrictions on financial data; the main established theoretical and empirical findings for financial markets; Page 6 of 18
