Inquadramento dell'insegnamento nel percorso del corso di studio
This course aims at providing a graduate-level overview of the main research topics in the field of asset pricing and macrofinance. The focus is on the analysis of asset price formation mechanisms and of the interactions between the real economy and asset prices. After the introduction to core, traditional frameworks in asset pricing, the course will then proceed to selected specialized topics from recent research. Students will be introduced to a blend of theory and empirics, with a hands-on approach to data.
