| Course objective :
| To provide an introduction to the mechanics and economic characteristics of financial markets. The course proposes a typology of financial markets, then analyses equity, debt and derivatives markets. The goal is to show how prices are set on these markets, what are the relevant dimensions of risk and how market agents manage their exposures on these different markets. This course serves as a basis for almost all subsequent advanced finance courses in corporate finance, portfolio management, banking and derivatives. | |
