Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course Asset Pricing I is the first part of a sequence on asset pricing. Asset Pricing I analyses the determinants of asset prices in a complete market setting under symmetric information. Asset Pricing II extends the analysis to the empirically more relevant incomplete market setting with asymmetric information and liquidity risk.

Asset Pricing I provides a unified framework of classical asset pricing theories, according to which individual securities are priced in general market equilibrium taking into account all feedback effects (from other securities). Hence, it provides the foundations of the concept of the market price of risk as well as an understanding of the limits of the equilibrium concept as a basis of understanding financial crises, developed in more detail in Asset Pricing II.

The role of informational asymmetries on market participation, liquidity and, hence, asset prices will be the topic of the advanced course Asset Prices II.

While the course is mainly theoretical, all its motivation as well as the validation of the theories developed in this course is empirical and data-driven.

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course Asset Pricing I is the first part of a sequence on asset pricing. Asset Pricing I analyses the determinants of asset prices in a complete market setting under symmetric information. Asset Pricing II extends the analysis to the empirically more relevant incomplete market setting with asymmetric information and liquidity risk.

Accordingly, this course lays the foundations for a deeper understanding of the determinants of asset prices. It discusses the role of cash-flow expectations and various notions of risk on the prices of traded securities.

While the course is mainly theoretical, all its motivation as well as the validation of the theories developed in this course is empirical and data-driven.
