Theory of Asset Pricing
This doctoral-level course examines single- and multi-period consumption and portfolio choice models and their equilibrium asset pricing implications. Both discrete-time and continuous-time models are covered, as well as the valuation of contingent claims using martingale and stochastic discount factor approaches. The effects of asymmetric information and behavioral biases on financial decisions and asset prices are also investigated.
