5052: Credit Risk Modeling
Winter Bohn
This course focuses on quantitative techniques used to model credit risk. In particular, we will discuss both structural and reduced-form models used to estimate default probabilities and loss given default. These fundamental model components will serve as the foundation to explore credit risk assessment, corporate debt valuation, credit derivative valuation, correlation estimation, and credit portfolio management. Emphasis will be placed on model building, model validation, and interpreting model output. Students will be required to do some high-level programming in a package such as Matlab. Some empirical testing exercises will

4013: Advanced Macroeconomics
Summer/Winter Esteban-Pretel& Hayashi
This is the first part of the graduate core macro sequence. The objective of the sequence is to provide students with tools for conducting dynamic macroeconomic analysis and show how to apply those tools to leading macro models. The tools covered in the first part of the sequence are difference equations, Markov chains, dynamic programming, and programming with Matlab.
This course will cover materials suitagble for a first-year graduate macroeconomics course. The textbook is RECURSIVE MACROECONOMIC THEORY, by L. Ljungqvist and T. Sargent, MIT Press.

Spreadsheet Modelling in Finance
Chau, Michael
General Information
This course is intended to introduce spreadsheet (MS Excel) as a financial modeling tool and understand its capabilities and limitations. It is designed to teach students to apply Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to automate spreadsheet applications and extend the functionality of the spreadsheet. Numerical derivative pricing by implementing models in VBA will be illustrated. Examples include Black-Scholes formula, Greeks Parameters, Binomial Tree and Monte Carlo Methods. Statistical computations with application to Risk Management will also be demonstrated. This course will also explore to optimize the computational power of Excel through the
Management Science and Computer Based Modeling
Business involves dealing with numbers. Numbers are then used strategically to make business decisions. This course is about how to formulate business problems involving numbers and how to solve them using the latest computer tools. The course introduces modeling techniques for resource allocation, operational, and other managerial problems. The course will make full use of computer tools (Excel, CrystalBall and Macros) that integrate the knowledge and implementation skills to solve such managerial problems. It is assumed that students who take this course have familiarity with Windows environment on a PC and have basic Excel skills.

Foundations of Web Technologies
The Internet and World Wide Web (WWW) technologies are evolving fast. The knowledge of cutting edge technologies and how they are used for Web based e-business applications are "must have" skills not only for e-business systems developers but for all other e-business professionals. Organizations aim to "seamlessly" integrate WWW and the Internet into their business operations. This course provides a practical understanding of the breadth of the most widely used professional web technologies such as networking and Internet fundamentals, browser side programming (i.e. scripting) and server side programming (i.e. interactive dynamic web development using databases).
