Financial Econometrics:
Before students arrive in
• Koop, G. (2005). Analysis of Financial Data.
Ch. 1-12. Koop assumes less and is more appropriate if you are new to statistics or econometrics.
• Brooks, C. (2002). Introductory Econometrics for Finance.
Microeconomics:
Economics. A formal background is not assumed. The pace is, however, rapid. Students without an economics-related degree, therefore, would benefit from some initial private study, perhaps based upon some of the texts listed in the reading recommendations given in the course outline. For those with no economics background at all, a gentle start would be to peruse “bedtime reading” books:
HARFORD, T. (2006): The undercover economist.
DIXIT, A. K. AND B. NALENUFF (1991): Thinking strategically: the competitive edge in business, politics, and everyday life.
If you wish to delve into Microeconomics at a graduate level then you should consult the texts by Mas-Colell, Whinston, and Green and by Varian in the reading recommendations list. The former text, especially, goes further than the course and so you should read selectively.
Mathematics. We use basic mathematical tools. Ideally, students should be familiar with: algebraic manipulation; solving and simplifying equations and inequalities; sequences, series, and limits; functions; differentiation; simple unconstrained optimization; partial differentiation; constrained optimization; integration; basic probability; random variables; common probability distributions. More generally, students should be comfortable with the expression of precise arguments in a mathematical form. As a guide, students may wish to refer to:
ANTHONY, M. AND N. BIGGS (1996): Mathematics for economics and finance: methods and modelling.
好友的reading list。
我有corporate finance,希望有其他书的电子版的同学大家能分享一下。
