Empirical International Finance
EC877.01
Spring 2010

Prerequisites: EC751, EC771

The course covers selected topics of current research in international finance, designed for Ph.D. students in their second year or later. The focus is on empirical work, and on tools for conducting research in this field. Topics include: nominal and real exchange rate dynamics, foreign-exchange market efficiency, the microstructure of foreign exchange markets, international finance and trade, as well as international portfolio choice and financial integration.


In order to benefit most of this course, I recommend you to familiarize yourself with Matlab, or another programming language of your choice, as early as possible. Matlab tutorials and workshops are offered by BC's Research Services.
