Course Objectives: | This course provides a theoretical framework to analyze macro-finance market behavior. To highlight the features of each market, the entire financial system is structured into four markets: money, bond, stock, and foreign exchange. The domestic markets are linked through Fisher equation, term structure of interest rates, and CAPM. International markets are linked through various international parity conditions. Economic fundamentals provide the rationale for determination of asset prices (returns). Recent studies in behavioral models also shed some lights on the pricing process. In addition to theoretical expositions, many empirical issues and evidence will be discussed in this lecture. |
