The effective interpretation of theoretical and empirical studies in finance requires an understanding of basic financial econometric techniques. This unit will enable students to further develop the quantitative skills required for advanced capital market analysis and modelling. In particular, quantitative techniques will be used to explain the behaviour of financial markets and the assets traded in equity, debt, derivative and foreign exchange markets. Students will review Capital Market studies and be involved in the phases of problem formulation, research design, data collection, quantitative analysis and the interpretation of results.
