STAT   486 MARKET MODULS                            Credits 3.00  Spring 2000
This course takes the classical efficient market models and superimposes
upon it models for other stochastic phenomena not generally accounted
for in efficient market theory. It shows how risk can be lessened by
portfolios and other mechanism. It discusses reasons why the
Black-Scholes option pricing model (which won the 1997 Nobel Prize in
Economics) is fragile to departures from efficient market theory. The
course is oriented toward using computer simulations as an alternative
to closed form solutions. Requirements: STAT 305, 310 or near
equivalent.
