UP1-PROG-02-MIB50A-119 - Master 2 indifférencié Finance technology data

This course will bring students quantitative skills to be deployed at Fintechs, traditional financial entities and/or regulators.

Reviewing recent advances in econometric theory and economic modelling, we will explore how they still apply for most financial applications. We will also discuss their benefits in terms of economic narratives and sensitivity analyses.

Students will be asked to gather data from traditional financial data sources (e.g. Central Banks and other regulators, international institutions providing statistics, stock exchange platforms and private data providers) as well as alternative sources.

Reviewing and building on traditional econometric theory, advanced models will be replicated on alternative data sets and their power discussed. Time series and corporate finance will be used to develop trading strategies and test asset pricing models, extreme value theory will be detailed to review risk modelling. We will approach profitability and default probability with panel and GMM approaches.

No prior knowledge of programming language is necessary.

Course prerequisites: undergrad econometrics and statistics, undergrad mathematics and matrix algebra
