Empirical Asset Pricing
Module Coordinator/Lecturers
Study Programmes
Master's degree programme in Innovative Finance
Project Description
Asset pricing is the process of determining the fair value of financial assets. It involves using various financial theories and models to estimate the price of these assets based on factors like time discounting, future cash flows, interest rates, and risk. By analysing historical data, empirical asset pricing seeks to validate or refine theories about how prices are set, how risks are compensated, and how various factors influence asset prices. Ultimately, it aims to enhance our understanding of financial markets and improve investment strategies.
Key topics covered are:

Doctoral degree programme in Business Economics
Project Description
- The purpose of this course is twofold: First, invited talks by researchers from other institutions (and, occasionally, from the University of Liechtenstein) bring students in touch with cutting-edge research in their field. Second, students learn how to give an academic presentation of one of their research papers. Students will receive feedback on their performance. Our goal is to provide research colloquia for all specializations, but the course may not be offered for all specializations in each academic year. Students from two specializations may be gathered into one colloquium for organizational reasons. Key topics covered are: Current research in business economics Structure and content of an academic paper discussion
Teaching Method
Presentations, discussions with feedback.
