Learning outcome

After the successful completion of the course, students are familiar with basic time series models, i.e. they can list and recognise the models, can write down the models and describe their basic properties. In addition, they are able to analyse, model and simulate financial time series data (at a basic level) using computer programs such as EViews. Students can explain in which areas of asset and risk management time series models are used.
