Quantitative Finance

Quantitative Finance
In this course students will develop the technical skills needed to do serious applied financial research, the most important of which is proficiency with R and R Studio. We will briefly review the history and approach of academic research in equity pricing via selected readings. Students will work as teams to replicate the results of a published academic paper and then extend those results in a non-trivial manner. This course is designed for two types of students: first, those interested in applied financial research, and second, those curious about how that research is used and evaluated by finance professionals. Professor Colander will be assisting with the class, giving occasional lectures, and connecting the class to broad liberal arts themes.
