Course content

The course builds on and expands the students' skills in financial theory and applications, focusing on asset/option pricing theory in particular. Assets include derivatives such as futures, forwards, swaps and options. This is used in analysing financial securities/instruments and real assets, and in project evaluation under uncertainty using real option analysis. We analyse the most common financial derivatives markets and its products. The course includes a description of technical and economic characteristics of project risk and an option-based valuation of flexibility in projects. The knowledge and theory is also applied to analysis of compound investment strategies, financial instruments, large-scale investments and project finance, and entrepreneurial finance and valuation of small projects.
