Course Contents
Aim of the Course:
Participants of this course study the theory and practice for modeling univariate (financial) time series. Students perform empirical projects including programming tasks in R.
The course is taught in English (on request German).
Course Outline
- The basics of time series modeling: autoregressive and moving average processes
- Forecasting (financial) time series
- More on time series modeling: unit root tests and diagnostic tools
- Modeling volatility dynamics: ARCH, GARCH, and TGARCH models as well as appropriate maximum likelihood estimators and their properties
- Long-run forecasting
- Explaining returns and estimating factor models
Literature
Information about the literature can be found on the slides.
Audience / Qualification
A prerequisite for the participation in the course Applied Financial Economtrics is the participation in the course Econometrics I or an equivalent course plus some basics in R.
The course Applied Financial Economtrics is a compulsory part of the study specializations Empirical Economics and Financial Markets for economics, an optional compulsory part of the study specialization Corporate Finance for business administration, and optional for all other students.
Grading System
The course consists of one midterm exam (Lernzielkontrolle), the exercise presentation, and a final exam.
All details can be found in the overview (in German).
