Description from DukeHub
The objective of this course is to develop an understanding of the institutional structure and fundamental concepts of asset valuation in financial markets. Some analytical tools will be developed to study the valuation of different types of securities. The course is structured in three parts. The first part deals with the institutional background of security markets. Particular emphasis is placed on fixed income markets. Second, the concepts of market microstructure are introduced. For example, we examine such questions as: What is liquidity and how is it created? The final part of the course examines the recent advances in asset valuation (asset pricing theory). This course is for Global Executive MBA and Weekend Executive MBA students.
