Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course is intended for advanced masters students as well as doctoral students. It focusses on the design of real world markets. Experimental asset markets are left to a course on Behavioral Finance and will not be covered in this course.

Asset pricing theories fundamentally rely on the concept of market prices as reflections of long-term value of the underlying assets. In a market economy, however, market prices are the results of market interactions. Accordingly, observable market prices are sensitive to the precise trading rules and more generally to the market design. The purpose of this course is to illuminate and classify the rich plethora of market designs that can be observed across, and even within, asset classes in real world markets.
