Modeling Financial Markets Faculty:
Khaldoun Khashanah
A broad introduction to the basics of financial markets and their instruments. Explore stocks, derivatives, bonds, and interest-rate futures. Using simplified examples, you become familiar with pricing options, including binomial trees, general game theory methods, and probabilistic approaches. You are also introduced to arbitrage, risk, and hedging with examples drawn from stocks and their derivatives. Learn how to compute option trees with spreadsheets and familiarize yourself with continuous models and the Black-Scholes formula. While you are expected to know basic probability theory, you are not required to be familiar with advanced stochastic analysis. By studying practical problems, you will come away with a solid appreciation of the applications of key concepts in financial markets.
