A tentative outline - s u



No formal course bookFor the course we will use research articles. However, note that sometimes course books in Econometrics or Financial Economics will be of great help as they might be more explanatory. There are often also lots of educational publications both in print and on video on the web. I will use a matrix based program in the lectures because it easy to “slice and dice” data for different types of tests and formations of portfolios in them but you can use whatever software you like to do the analysis. We will not have time to fully teach software programming so those of you that know you are poor in handling data will benefit from obtaining literature such as “Getting started with MATLAB: A quick introduction scientists and engineers” by Rudra Patrap (I will use matlab) or similar texts for the program you decide to use. Note that if you google you will find lots of material in this field that is good for free on the web.Some links to “getting started” with matlab you simply type “matlab” or “getting started with matlab” in youtube, or any other specific topic you are interested in you will find lots of material.List of Articles (tentative and might change during the course)Myung, 2003, “Tutorial on maximum likelihood estimation”, Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 47, 90-100.Becker, Clements, and White, (2007), “Does implied volatility provide any information beyond that captured in model-based volatility forecasts?”, Journal of Banking and Finance, 31:8, 2535:2549.Hansen, 1982, ``Large Sample Properties of Generalized Method of Moments'', EconometricaHansen, Lars Peter, (2007), “Generalized Method of Moments Estimation” Mimeo Chicago University.
