Course objectives
The objective of this course is to acquaint students with the concepts that are key to understand the functioning of capital (mostly equity) markets. The course is divided in five parts.
Part 1 is about the organization of trading. The structure of European Stock Exchanges has been considerably evolving over the last 20 years. These evolutions have been fostered by the progress made in information technologies and the changes in the European regulatory environment. Open-outcry markets have been progressively replaced by computer-assisted trading markets. Stocks can now be traded continuously, new trading protocols such as MTF (Multilateral Trading Facilities) and Dark Pools have emerged, real-time remote access to markets has been made possible, high frequency trading has become more prevalent (latency times are now lower than 1 millisecond) while trading costs have experienced a dramatic decline. The financial intermediation profession has been evolving too. ISD (Investment Services Directive) constitutes a major change for the European regulatory environment. The concentration of orders on a single stock exchange is no longer mandatory and former national monopolistic stock exchanges must now compete with new entrants. Euronext market share has dropped from 100% to less than 50% as stocks of major European companies can now be traded on several trading venues. To gain understanding in the recent trends that characterize the stock exchange industry it is important to understand where transaction costs (both explicit and implicit) and liquidity arise from. This will be the subject of the first part of the course with a particular focus on the evolution of the Paris stock exchange.
Part 2 covers the core concepts of return, risk and the optimization of the risk-return tradeoff through efficient portfolios. After introducing the definition of returns (discrete and continuous) and various risk measures (volatility and Value at Risk – VaR) for single assets, the course moves to the analysis of the joint behavior of assets when these are combined into portfolios. This will allow student to understand the benefits of diversification, which is a first step towards the computation of efficient portfolios through the Markowitz’s program and the determination of asset efficient frontier.
Part 3 is about how investors account for risk in their investment decisions. This part shows how to characterize risk aversion and how risk aversion is accounted for in equilibrium. This part allows to establish the expression of the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) and, after highlighting some limitations of this model, to introduce multi-factor pricing models (essentially Fama and French 3-factor model).
Part 4 analyzes how information is incorporated into prices. The erratic behavior of stock prices may cast doubt about their actual meaning. Do stock prices convey valuable information? Is there an incentive for firms to be publicly-traded? On an informationally-efficient market, the expected gain from price forecasts is equal to 0. Is it the case? Although there exist so-called market anomalies (abnormal returns), further examination of abnormal returns shows that these arise mostly as a form of compensation for hidden costs (transaction costs, information costs) and risks.
Part 5 is more practical as it illustrates how the concepts developed in parts 1 to 4 can be used by decision makers. We will focus on investment decision, financing decision and portfolio managers performance measurement.

This course is an introduction and/or refresher course in Econometrics that focuses on techniques for estimating regression models, on problems commonly encountered in estimating such models, and on interpreting the estimates. The goal is to provide participants with the basic skills and knowledge necessary to undertake empirical research and to prepare them to more advanced course in Econometrics for Finance. Gretl will be the econometric software used in the course (alternatively, R can be used). If some theoretical aspects will be studied, the focus is more on the acquisition of a scientific empirical approach.
Concretely, this course will allow students to
- keep a critical eye on econometrics results,
- acquire a method to answer economic and financial questions in a quantified manner

L’objet du cours est de fournir aux étudiants les raisonnements-clés de politique économique, fondés sur la meilleure littérature académique mais tenant compte aussi des contraintes du décideur public, pour une variété de thèmes d’actualité.
Ainsi peut se développer une vraie culture générale économique qui allie rigueur des concepts économiques employés et expérience de leur mise en œuvre concrète.
L’examen prendra la forme pour l’essentiel de questions de cours, et marginalement d’exercice(s) de réflexion. L’étudiant doit pouvoir reformuler ce qu’il a entendu en cours. L’expérience montre qu’on ne reformule bien que ce qu’on a compris à fond. Ce que vous devez absolument ne pas faire : proposer une décision de politique économique qui n’est pas rigoureusement fondée sur un grand principe d’analyse économique.

Lecturer :
- GAELLE LE FOL
Total hours : 18
Overview :
This course of financial econometrics has three objectives: The first is to review theoretical aspects of the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) in order to better understand the implications of hypothesis departures and what needs to be done to correct the estimators and their precision. The second is to analyse, via simulation, the impact of hypotheses violation on estimators, on quality criteria and on regression tests. Finally, the third objective is to discuss the practice and practical implementation of these methods. The outline of the course is the following :
- Introduction: "True" model - DGP;
- Return on multiple regression Assumptions, statistical inference, quality criteria, dummy variables;
- Return on the failure of OLS assumptions, tests and correction: Heteroskedasticity, Autocorrelation, Normality, Multicolinearity, Exogeneity, Specification error;
- An alternative to the use of OLS: Generalized least squares, Double least squares, Maximum likelihood, Quantile regression (if time permits).
Coefficient : 0.5
Require prerequisites :

Learning outcomes :
This second course of econometrics applied to finance has three objectives: The first is to comeback to some of the theoretical aspects of econometrics in order to better understand how it works, what are the implications of assumption failures, and what to do to correct the estimators and their precision. The second objective aims to discuss the practices and the concrete implementation of these methods and their corrections as well as new estimation tools. Finally, the third objective is in the way this course is approached as it is based on simulation.
Concretely, simulating the "real" model and observing what happens when we are not in the conditions of use of an estimator, a quality criterion or a test allows:
- to master the details of the regression tools (simulation of the data generating process - DGP -, choice of the characteristics and laws of variables, choice of hypotheses, etc)
- to understand the consequences of any assumption failure as well as the interaction of several failures,
- to use this knowledge to carry out empirical studies.

Lecturer :
Total hours : 36
Overview :
This course examines important issues in corporate finance from the perspective of financial managers who are responsible for making significant investment and financing decisions. The concept of net present value, suitably adapted to account for taxes, uncertainty, and strategic concerns, is used to analyze how investment and financing decisions interact to affect the value of the firm. The course covers topics such as capital structure, cost of capital, capital budgeting in the presence of uncertainty, payout policies.
The primary purpose of this module is to provide an integrated overview of the most important concepts in Corporate Finance, both in theory and in practice. The subject extends the student’s knowledge about the context in which corporations operate. While the course is not designed to dwell on abstraction, the basic theoretical underpinnings of the various topics are a prerequisite to competent analysis and intellectual discussion. We emphasize the development of problem-solving skills based on a good understanding of the business environment as opposed to pure theorizing. Because of the practical importance of the material and as an illustration of the relevant theory, we will discuss examples and cases.
Coefficient : 1
Recommended prerequisites :
The prerequisite for this course is a course of Introduction to Finance (for example 2110 U08-corporate finance L3). Some basic familiarity with Excel will be assumed. It is expected that students will be comfortable with the following topics: time value of money, risk-return trade-off, valuation of bonds and stocks, Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).
Learning outcomes :
- After completing this module, the student should be able to: · use the CAPM and apply skills in estimating cost of equity · estimate the cost of each source of capital and calculate a weighted average cost of capital for a company · compare and contrast leverage strategies in ideal versus real capital markets and be able to explain the expected impact of alternative taxation systems on the use of debt in a firm’s capital structure · understand capital structure and outline the main factors that financial managers should consider when determining a company’s financing strategy and payout policy · use capital budgeting tools in presence of uncertainty ; introduce extra-financial criteria in the investment decision making process · critically apply and discuss the theories relating dividends to share price and cost of capital

Lecturer :
- VERONIKA SELEZNEVA
Overview :
This 24-hour course is a graduate-level introduction to financial macroeconomics. The main objective of this course is to provide students with a rigourous approach to the basic ingredients behind any macroeconomic model, i.e the consumption/demand and production/supply sides. In an intuitive approach, students are first thaught the standard techniques of dynamic programming. The traditional consumer's decision problem is then covered, potentially but not exclusively through the lens of this newly exposed method. Before studying real business cycle models as a whole and therefore being able to investigate why aggregate economic activity fluctuates in a general equilibrium setting, students learn about the neoclassical theory of investment (i.e the Ramsay model). Finally, to better understand the links between output and inflation and if time allows, students are introduced to the role played by money and the importance of prices. In particular, the New Keynesian framework with its price and/or wage rigidities allows students to analyze the costs and benefits of price stability and the inherent role of central banks.

-Time preference: standard model (Discounted utility), violations, alternatives
- Overconfidence - Bayesian updating and cognitive heuristics - Behavior in strategic situations - The endowment effect
- Over the past several decades, the field of finance has developed a successful paradigm based on the notions that investors and managers were generally "efficient". In recent years, however, anecdotal evidence as well as theoretical and empirical research have shown this paradigm to be insufficient to describe various features of current financial markets. Taking into account insights from psychology and the fact that investors and managers are sometimes affected by biaises has allowed a deeper understanding of financial markets. In this course we will study experimental and theoretical research to examine how the insights of behavioral finance complement the traditional paradigm.

- Ces dernières dizaines d’années, la finance s’est développée en s’appuyant sur l’hypothèse que les investisseurs et managers sont des agents rationnels et que les prix des actifs financiers sont efficients de manière générale. Récemment, cependant, tant des preuves anecdotiques que les résultats de recherches empiriques et théoriques ont montré les limites d’une telle approche et ont permis une compréhension plus fine du fonctionnement réel des marchés financiers grâce à le prise en compte des biais comportementaux auxquels sont sujets les acteurs sur ces marchés. Dans le cadre du cours, nous nous attacherons à comprendre la manière dont la finance comportementale complète l’approche traditionnelle en nous appuyant sur des travaux tant expérimentaux que théoriques.

Overview :
The objective of this course is to acquaint students with the concepts that are key to understand the functioning of capital (mostly equity) markets. The course is divided in five parts.
Part 1 is about the organization of trading. The structure of European Stock Exchanges has been considerably evolving over the last 20 years. These evolutions have been fostered by the progress made in information technologies and the changes in the European regulatory environment. Open-outcry markets have been progressively replaced by computer-assisted trading markets. Stocks can now be traded continuously, new trading protocols such as MTF (Multilateral Trading Facilities) and Dark Pools have emerged, real-time remote access to markets has been made possible, high frequency trading has become more prevalent (latency times are now lower than 1 millisecond) while trading costs have experienced a dramatic decline. The financial intermediation profession has been evolving too. ISD (Investment Services Directive) constitutes a major change for the European regulatory environment. The concentration of orders on a single stock exchange is no longer mandatory and former national monopolistic stock exchanges must now compete with new entrants. Euronext market share has dropped from 100% to less than 50% as stocks of major European companies can now be traded on several trading venues. To gain understanding in the recent trends that characterize the stock exchange industry it is important to understand where transaction costs (both explicit and implicit) and liquidity arise from. This will be the subject of the first part of the course with a particular focus on the evolution of the Paris stock exchange.
Part 2 covers the core concepts of return, risk and the optimization of the risk-return tradeoff through efficient portfolios. After introducing the definition of returns (discrete and continuous) and various risk measures (volatility and Value at Risk – VaR) for single assets, the course moves to the analysis of the joint behavior of assets when these are combined into portfolios. This will allow student to understand the benefits of diversification, which is a first step towards the computation of efficient portfolios through the Markowitz’s program and the determination of asset efficient frontier.
Part 3 is about how investors account for risk in their investment decisions. This part shows how to characterize risk aversion and how risk aversion is accounted for in equilibrium. This part allows to establish the expression of the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) and, after highlighting some limitations of this model, to introduce multi-factor pricing models (essentially Fama and French 3-factor model).
Part 4 analyzes how information is incorporated into prices. The erratic behavior of stock prices may cast doubt about their actual meaning. Do stock prices convey valuable information? Is there an incentive for firms to be publicly-traded? On an informationally-efficient market, the expected gain from price forecasts is equal to 0. Is it the case? Although there exist so-called market anomalies (abnormal returns), further examination of abnormal returns shows that these arise mostly as a form of compensation for hidden costs (transaction costs, information costs) and risks.
Part 5 is more practical as it illustrates how the concepts developed in parts 1 to 4 can be used by decision makers. We will focus on investment decision, financing decision and portfolio managers performance measurement.

Learning outcomes :
This second course of econometrics applied to finance has three objectives: The first is to comeback to some of the theoretical aspects of econometrics in order to better understand how it works, what are the implications of assumption failures, and what to do to correct the estimators and their precision. The second objective aims to discuss the practices and the concrete implementation of these methods and their corrections as well as new estimation tools. Finally, the third objective is in the way this course is approached as it is based on simulation.
Concretely, simulating the "real" model and observing what happens when we are not in the conditions of use of an estimator, a quality criterion or a test allows:
- to master the details of the regression tools (simulation of the data generating process - DGP -, choice of the characteristics and laws of variables, choice of hypotheses, etc)
- to understand the consequences of any assumption failure as well as the interaction of several failures,
- to use this knowledge to carry out empirical studies.

Lecturer :
Total hours : 36
Overview :
This course examines important issues in corporate finance from the perspective of financial managers who are responsible for making significant investment and financing decisions. The concept of net present value, suitably adapted to account for taxes, uncertainty, and strategic concerns, is used to analyze how investment and financing decisions interact to affect the value of the firm. The course covers topics such as capital structure, cost of capital, capital budgeting in the presence of uncertainty, payout policies.
The primary purpose of this module is to provide an integrated overview of the most important concepts in Corporate Finance, both in theory and in practice. The subject extends the student’s knowledge about the context in which corporations operate. While the course is not designed to dwell on abstraction, the basic theoretical underpinnings of the various topics are a prerequisite to competent analysis and intellectual discussion. We emphasize the development of problem-solving skills based on a good understanding of the business environment as opposed to pure theorizing. Because of the practical importance of the material and as an illustration of the relevant theory, we will discuss examples and cases.
Coefficient : 1
Recommended prerequisites :
The prerequisite for this course is a course of Introduction to Finance (for example 2110 U08-corporate finance L3). Some basic familiarity with Excel will be assumed. It is expected that students will be comfortable with the following topics: time value of money, risk-return trade-off, valuation of bonds and stocks, Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).
Learning outcomes :
- After completing this module, the student should be able to: · use the CAPM and apply skills in estimating cost of equity · estimate the cost of each source of capital and calculate a weighted average cost of capital for a company · compare and contrast leverage strategies in ideal versus real capital markets and be able to explain the expected impact of alternative taxation systems on the use of debt in a firm’s capital structure · understand capital structure and outline the main factors that financial managers should consider when determining a company’s financing strategy and payout policy · use capital budgeting tools in presence of uncertainty ; introduce extra-financial criteria in the investment decision making process · critically apply and discuss the theories relating dividends to share price and cost of capital

- Over the past several decades, the field of finance has developed a successful paradigm based on the notions that investors and managers were generally "efficient". In recent years, however, anecdotal evidence as well as theoretical and empirical research have shown this paradigm to be insufficient to describe various features of current financial markets. Taking into account insights from psychology and the fact that investors and managers are sometimes affected by biaises has allowed a deeper understanding of financial markets. In this course we will study experimental and theoretical research to examine how the insights of behavioral finance complement the traditional paradigm.

Overview :
This 24-hour course is a graduate-level introduction to financial macroeconomics. The main objective of this course is to provide students with a rigourous approach to the basic ingredients behind any macroeconomic model, i.e the consumption/demand and production/supply sides. In an intuitive approach, students are first thaught the standard techniques of dynamic programming. The traditional consumer's decision problem is then covered, potentially but not exclusively through the lens of this newly exposed method. Before studying real business cycle models as a whole and therefore being able to investigate why aggregate economic activity fluctuates in a general equilibrium setting, students learn about the neoclassical theory of investment (i.e the Ramsay model). Finally, to better understand the links between output and inflation and if time allows, students are introduced to the role played by money and the importance of prices. In particular, the New Keynesian framework with its price and/or wage rigidities allows students to analyze the costs and benefits of price stability and the inherent role of central banks.
